According to Bob McKenzie, PSU has hired Guy Gadowsky as their head hockey coach.
Penn State University will announce Guy Gadowsky, now ex of Princeton, as new head coach of its fledgling Div. 1 hockey program.

I just saw Brian Sullivan's tweet on this as well. I thought PSU would poach someone from one of the "Big 3" conferences, but Gadowsky is a good coach and was able to rebuild a moribund Princeton program.

I'd also like to point out that our odds next year just got better in a month. Here's how. First Yale basically graduates its team, and Polaceck and York leave RPI. Then Union's coach goes to Providence, and Princeton's coach hits the trail to be the head coach of PSU's new program. Clarkson also fired its coach. So basically the only teams at the top half of the ECAC with any stability were Dartmouth and CU. Anyone else like our odds?

Kinkaid also left Union early. It was a good month (despite Garman leaving).css228

Forgot Kinkaid. And though Garman leaving hurts Iles isn't a bad backup plan. He just can absolutely not get hurt.Trotsky

Exactly. We want respectable ECAC and Ivy League teams that can do damage in the NCAAs (other than to themselves). Yale shoulda won it all, at least on paper. And they still have their coach, who is good. I wonder if Princeton will want to think about building Hobey Baker II sometime in the next decade. A nice 3,500-seat architectural gem that would give the Tigers an extra 1,500 empty seats.

They had to build a new stadium or play elsewhere to accommodate the move to D-IA (the MAC, really?)

Interesting logic, but I guess that this is the time of the year for fans of all teams to be optimistic. (me too )css228

Let me just comment about RPI. No one has left who wasn't expected to leave (at least not yet). It was clear to everyone following the program that York was more likely to leave than not. I would be very surprised if his replacement isn't already known to Coach Appert.
Polacek, of course, was a senior. Considering that when D'Amigo and Pirri left last summer, their scholarships were not filled with new recruits (note that the 'Tute's last recruit last year is listed as 5/1/10 on Heisenberg's list), Polacek and his classmates will be more than replaced. Indeed it appears that RPI's incoming class is its best since 1982. Granted that some of the recruits may not fit in until the second half of the season, and I won't really be confident that the long-awaited Jacob Laliberté will show up until he actually plays a game, but I am quite happy as to what the team looks like for next season.

My point is simply that our offseason has been relatively stable compared to every other team in the league, so we should be be in good shape. And just because the guys who left were expected to leave doesn't make it any easier. Yale is graduating their best class ever. Yes they were all expected to leave. But it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. Also any word on whether Hudon si going to be able to accelerate his graduation or do we have to wait one more year to watch him grace the ice at Lynah?ursusminor

So for those that haven't been reading CHN on realignment, here are two articles. first, Adam's take on what might happen, then discussion of the possible super six. If you want a small school killer, that's probably the best you can get.

In theory, the big markets or big conferences dominate sports. The No. 1 example is the New York Yankees. The No. 2 example is ... what? How much correlation is there between market size or conference clout and who comes out on top? Minnesota Duluth as the hockey champion in the NCAAs, Baylor and Cornell No. 2 in basketball and wrestling this year. Adam Wodon in his column notes the backfire effect when college teams try to stockpile too many good players.Jim Hyla

What does Duluth winning the tournament prove, exactly? Look at the last 20 champions and it's just usual suspect after usual suspect; one gate-crasher winning the Frozen Four doesn't mean the hockey equivalents of "big markets" (BC/BU/UND/UMN/etc.) are less dominant any more than one World Series championship by the Diamondbacks means the Yankees are no longer a threat year after year. And let's put Duluth in some perspective too - they're a team from the strongest conference and they've been playing at a high level for years; it's not like this was Bentley or something.billhoward

I agree with Josh. Also, the biggest markets usually have strong pro teams. In general, college teams do better when they don't have such competition. Although there are exceptions, like USC in LA, big-time college football thrives in cities like Austin, Columbus, and Ann Arbor. Big-time basketball, on Tobacco Road. Etc.
