Sounds like what he wants it to be. He's from the Northeast, so that's probably where that example came from.

Sounds like he got a lot of stuff already worked out. Didn't he say something about already having a schedule mostly done.

Schedule mostly done but I am curious about recruiting commitments. We should start to see tweets (X) about signees soon!! We can use an arena designed specifically for basketball. Gentry not the right feel for basketball. Arena should have no more than maybe 7k seating capacity. Need to look at largest attendance verses average attendance (excluding times students not on campus). Find the right fit. |

I’m all for it if we can afford it. But there’s no way this should happen before we get a revamped Ed Temple track.

Oh, and Olympic pool in Gentry ready for meets... I agree. However, in regards to the stadium, since we have a sweet deal with Nissan now, we don’t have to rush on Hale unless we’re bringing on soccer soon. Much like when Nissan was built, our first year or two in the new stadium will bring record attendance and revenue. So, I don’t think we have to rush it, like we need to do for our other programs. |

With hockey's schedule pretty much being set, they are going to need to hire an ops guy and a head coach really soon. I was thinking homecoming, but that may be too late.
They need to drop those jerseys. I think that would go a long way in helping to fund the club level team.
I hope they talk to lindenwood. They have both club and a scholarship team.
I still don't get the difference between the two leagues.

Just called Nick who did the podcast. He said that a lot is in motion. Much of the fundraising will be from private investors wanting to help the sport of hockey grow. He is open to talking with alumni about the program. They are in the process of hiring an operations person.

No time for OJT. Open to talking with alumni about the program. Is he serious, why wouldn't he want to meet with alumni. Personally, I don't like that type of attitude. |

It's not meant that way. He wants to talk, I used the word open. I called him and he answered. I think everyone should call him and allow him the chance to speak.
