Dave Smith, one of Buddy's former assistants, just got the head coaching job at Canisius. Best of luck!

Here's the USCHO article on it!

"Regarding BGSU, I would think their biggest strength is that they never give up, They never slow down and they battle hard even after the other team scores. We have to be on our game and never, ever take the foot off the gas for a second."

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

There's a funny story about Dave from when he played at Ohio State.

One game, I think it was against Ferris, he scored a goal and then had his leg broken in the celebratory pile up afterwards.

On a more serious note, Dave is a great guy and I wish him the best as a head coach. I know he is capable of doing great things.
