No, the team did meet and skated after the rookie camp and will be skating throughout the summer. But I do agree, with the weather outside we shouldn't we worried about hockey. But now with the team skating all summer, the Canadian summer league that Saginaw has a team in where some players are playing, I do think a coach is necessary.
Regardless, I will just hope that one is on the roster soon.

No reason to panic folks. I'm now retired so I can step in if need be. Chances are pretty good that I would not be the worst coach the Spirit have had. June 17 and no coach yet, I am liking the odds that you will be behind the bench! Start working on the line combinations now.

I expect a new coach to be announced early this week. Something tells me a young coach .... Other wise bpfox be ready.

Read into this what you will. I have spoken with the team. I have offered my services. They haven't returned my call. I suspect it was just the right motivation to do something sooner, rather than later. It's nice to know they are doing an extensive search. It should pay dividends down the road. Stop the worry, enjoy your summer.

I am going out on a limb and suggesting that its either:
Vince Laise former Assistant Coach Erie Otters
or
bpfox

While I don't know who it is, I don't think it's Vince Laise. I'm still holding out hope for bpfox. I just hope three things...(1) he still posts on here, (2) that he posts during the games and (3) GensFan lets "Bill" post on here during his coaching tenure to really get things riled up.

I like the way you think DJ! It reminds me of a theory that I have. I belive that when the temperature reaches 80 degrees plus, hockey fans loose their minds.

BP, my sincere sympathies on losing out on the coaching job. I cant tell you how much I was looking forward to seeing you behind the bench this season.
