Reality Check
Posted: Sun Mar 02, 2014 10:44 am
The reality is that the team started out this season playing very well and lifted everyone's hopes and expectations, which is a good thing. The problem is now that they have hit a rough patch, which hopefully ended last night, we are all more disappointed than we have been in the past. Coach Bergeron is in his fourth season here. The reality is out of the seven seniors on this team he recruited only one. The others were all recruited by Dennis Williams during a time when the program was close to shutting down. I am not slamming Dennis Williams nor any of the seniors as they were put in an impossible situation due to Greg Christopher, the former AD, even contemplating shutting hockey down. That is something that continues to plague, to some degree, this program. The last thing a wise fan would want right now is anymore instability and hopefully most of us realize that this forum is a public one that other teams recruiters can show prospective recruits and infer we are not a stable program.
Reality is coach Bergeron will be here until the end of his contract, we are a stable program and each year have increased the number of wins. However, that is a trend that must continue for the program to attract one or two top tier recruits once in awhile. Again, reality is college hockey has changed quite a bit from the late '70's and early '80's when we were a national power.
