Red retires at ttun. Sorry to put this in the Ohio State hockey thread.

An all-time great coach, but his teams were consistently, year in and year out the chippiest bunch of cheap shotting little bitches in college hockey. It wasn't one batch of players or any specific assistant coaches. It was the core identity of his program. I had far more respect for a flat-out, in-you-face goon squad than I did for Red's little bitches.

The smoke is getting thicker. But, honestly, 4K is really too small. We average over 4K in the Schott right now with big games getting around 7K. I think somewhere around 6500 would be perfect.

Ohio State could decide to move forward with construction a new hockey arena, as the university has issued a request for bids on the project.

Ohio State’s men’s hockey program currently shares Value City Arena at The Jerome Schottenstein Center with men’s and women’s basketball, and has done so since the venue’s opening in 1998. What university officials are considering is whether to move the program into a new facility that would be built to specifically accommodate hockey.

Preliminary plans call for a roughly 4,000-seat arena. The proposal would not only affect men’s hockey, but also women’s hockey, which would shift its games from the OSU Ice Rink, a venue that was originally constructed in 1961. The arena would have two rinks, including one dedicated to the two programs and another that is available for intramurals and other events.

OHIO STATE ALUM JB BITTNER NAMED ASSISTANT COACH OF MEN’S HOCKEY

When Joe Exter took a position in the new regime at Michigan State two weeks ago he left a gap on the Ohio State men’s hockey bench. OSU wasted no time in filling that void. The school today announced former Buckeye JB Bittner as the team’s new assistant coach.

A WAY-TOO-EARLY LOOK AT OHIO STATE MEN'S HOCKEY FOR THE 2017-2018 SEASON

82658_h.jpg,qitok=K-qNRONm.pagespeed.ce.iQM0yXf_Uk.jpg


For the first time since 2009, Ohio State men's hockey secured a bid into the NCAA tournament. After a 3-2, overtime loss to Minnesota-Duluth in the first round of the West Region, however, seven Buckeyes had played their final games.

Forwards Nick Schilkey and David Gust, defensemen Drew Brevig and Josh Healey, and goaltenders Christian Frey, Matt Tomkins and Logan Davis all wore the Scarlet and Gray sweater for the last time that night — leaving a large hole in coach Steve Rohlik's roster.

The future for this group of seven is bright, though, as Healey signed an entry level contract with the Calgary Flames in March and I'm sure a handful will have their names called

With this in mind, you would think that Ohio State would have a difficult time repeating the success of a 21-win season, the program's most victories in eight years. However, the Buckeyes return an experienced core of players in all positions, including All-American forward Mason Jobst.

A Speedway, Indiana native, Jobst concluded his sophomore season atop the Big Ten statistics in the points (55) and assists (36), and tied for fifth in goals (19). At one point in the season, he went on a tear where he record a point in 14-straight games to help propel the Buckeyes to big results in the middle of the season.

Additionally outside of Jobst, forwards Dakota Joshua and Tanner Laczynski are bright spots of the Scarlet and Gray attack. Joshua was a massive asset to the Buckeyes down the stretch and finished the season with 35 points (12 goals, 23 assists) while the quick-handed Laczynski capped his freshman season with 32 points (10 goals, 22 assists)

Interesting article about Ohio State's failure to recruit local talent, much of which heads to Fredo.

He completely gets it wrong about King Football marginalizing all non-revenue sports. Had he bothered to look at the Athletic Director Cup standings for the last twenty years he'd see that we usually finish in the top 10 and often the top 5 (#2 last year) with multiple national championships in a several Olympic sports. No, it's a hockey specific problem. Most of our coaches are from the Wisconsin-Minnesota hockey axis, and I wonder if there's some built in bias and snobbery against the notion that Ohio talent is worth recruiting.
