I think Craig Buckser was the one who pointed this out, but it has seemed historically like our goaltending has been better/more consistent when we've had a volunteer assistant who was a goaltender working with them: (Ben Scrivens with Ian Burt was the most recent example). Glad to have him!

This is nice but you'd think if one school had enough alumni up to the task, it'd be Cornell. Maybe because most of ours are gainfully employed in pro hockey ranks. His role begs the question, what's he doing in Ithaca, and the Cornell story is silent on that.

I was wondering the same. My initial assumption was that he's in grad school, but I would have expected the article to state such if that were the case.

According to everybody's favorite terrible hockey reporter, he has done a lot of this in the past.

Maybe he is pursuing some sort of business credential in order to open up a goalie school.

I don't understand this part:

QuoteMayotte was a full-time goalie coach last season in Maryland, having spent the previous seven years of his playing career as a part-time instructor.

Since he left Union in 2006, and played 5 pro years; does that mean he was also a goalie instructor in college and pro?

Probably a youth instructor at goalie camp or something.
