That was Tim Vanini, I believe.

It would also be a good thing for USCHO to plug into each team's home page if USCHO wants to go to the next level and provide ever more info. Maybe it's a link to ex coaches and famous players who've gone pro and Olympians and etcetera.

As would a link to each team's fan site(s) be helpful for USCHO.

In the meantime, it would be nice to have this somewhere on eLynah and/or TBRW. That and even more game stats. Every stat, every game, every player, all of it searchable, reportable. For instance, most goals by players who had more than 100 career penalty minutes. Or goals against average vs. team's average height. Most of it's silly, but sometimes you might pick up a gem or two. Sometimes you're never sure if it's cause and effect or vice versa or coincidental. I continue to be in awe of how much stuff is on TBRW.

They link to each team's official homepage already.

Tim Vanini was at Cortland State.  I forgot exactly why, but he was at the MSU games in November.  Part of my brain is telling me that he said he was in Med School out that way, but the rest of my brain is telling me I'm crazy...

The first part of your brain is right.  Vanini stepped down as coach at Cortland in 2002, I believe, to attend medical school.

Edit:  Oops, checked USCHO -- Tim must have left in 2001 (he was SUNYAC Coach of the Year that season).

Mark Taylor, an assistant under Brian McCutcheon (and I think Mark was also an assistant at Elmira when Brian was head coach there), has been the head coach at Hobart since 2000.

USCHO made an editorial decision 5 years ago to stop linking to fan sites.  Too many of them, too widely disparate in quality, too cumbersome to keep track of, and not really necessary since you can obtain that info many other ways.

As Beeeej noted, USCHO has always linked to the official team page. It's off USCHO's team page.

I'm pretty sure he got some type of graduate degree at MSU in golf course management (caretaking, not shot playing).

Googling "Tim Vanini" will show you that there is certainly someone of that name who is prominent in turf management.
