I've been off for a bit and unable to blog, not that there hasn't been some hockey news going on. Here are a few items of interest ...
As if he wasn't busy enough with the transition between his old job as MSU men's assistant and his new job as the Mavericks' new women's hockey coach, Eric Means had his appendix removed last week. He reported that everything went well.
Both Means and men's coach Troy Jutting are in the process of hiring assistant coaches. I would guess those should get finalized sometime soon.
I ran into two former Mankato West players who spent last season with the USHL's Fargo Force last season, Corey Leivermann and Tyler Bruggeman. Leivermann, an MSU recruit, had a great year with Fargo, which lost in the USHL playoff finals to Indiana. Bruggeman, a goaltender, played in just one game after forgoing his senior year of high school eligibility to move to Fargo. Bruggeman, was recently drafted by the NAHL's Fairbanks Ice Dogs, told me that he learned a lot, and hopes to return to the Force next season. Leivermann will spend another season in Fargo as well.
Both Leivermann and Bruggeman and MSU recruit Matt Leitner received team awards from the Force. Leivermann received the team's most inspirational player award, Leitner was named outstanding forward and Bruggman got the community service award.
More later ...
