Wow. One year at NU. nu now has 0 assistant coaches

No assistant coaches in NU hockey?

How can this be?

How in the hell can Simon remain employed at NU??? What a mess! Guess he is pouring over data!

Assistant Coach Eddie Olczyk has left hockey to take an assistant at Bemidji.

It appears that NU hockey has no assistants.

I receive two emails a week from UN Club hockey (no idea why) and not one word, not a peep from Niagara Sports, Hockey or Simon.
Niagara doesn’t get it, and Niagara Athletics is spinning faster and faster out of control.
NU ended the season as the lowest team in Div !...the absolute lowest rated team and it appears that the current admin is trying to take it even lower…how can this be? How tone deaf can the administration be?

Come on, is anyone surprised? As I have said in the past, Niagara has no real interest in its athletic programs. They are not even on the admins radar. Look, you guys are the best, any college would love to have supporters like you so please don't tale this as an insult to the school or you. The insult is directed to the Niagara admin. Now for the insult: I see more competence out of the DNC then at Niagara; and that's saying something. But wait there's more. imo the Niagara admin is beyond incompetence, it flat out just doesn't give a damn about Niagara athletics, its alum, or any of its fans.

Supe, given the evidence it is hard to argue with your conclusions.

Some great people at NU but the admin is simply out-of-touch due to their arrogance and need to be in control, 100% control, about everything. As Steinbeck remarked, "the flies have conquered the fly paper".

Eagle, you couldn't have said it any better.

"Arrogance " sums it up perfectly in characterizing the administration . The basketball program is acting as if a " gag order " has been in effect since the end of the season . Yet , despite shunning their supporters , they will expect full blind support with no questions asked . DII basketball is served , and how dare anyone raise concerns about the dismal state of the program .

We are led to believe that over twenty transfers in three years is no big deal , merely a reflection of the current college landscape.......BS !!!!!!

Look at the Buffalo News article of a few months ago which exposed the situation at Niagara. Did it do anything positive for the basketball program? No ! You would think that that article would have pushed them in the right direction. Yeah right. In fact, if anything, Niagara is even more tight lipped and defiant.

Niagara knows that its true fans will continue to support the athletic programs no matter how many times those fans are kicked in the teeth.

BUT NOT THIS FAN !
