This is a really good point. I would hope all who are in the decision discussion remember what happened to men‘s hockey when they waited so long to replace Coach Lucia. The arena was empty. They added beer to attract fans and very cheap ticket packages that included food. It helped in bringing...

Me too after 40 years!

SO well said!!!!!

I have to give IOWA’s coach credit for putting a game together and the discipline needed by using Garza and all the other players- after losing some of his best talent- to the best of their ability.

So disappointing to see such a let down in effort and focus by some Gophers in such an important game. Even the Coach voiced his concern on the radio program following the game. I can be a supporter and fan of a team that loses but puts in the effort but it is hard to be one of a team that loses...

So disappointed in the apparent lack of effort tonight. We are to get home ice next week. I’ll be there cheering and hope each player comes to play

Add Coach Motzko to the list of Coyle’s hires.

If AD Coyle waits too long they will be playing to an empty arena like the hockey team did after waiting too long to replace Lucia.

Funny I haven’t heard that Duke is getting a new arena. The Red Sox and the Chicago Cubs do well in old stadiums. Win and it just won’t matter how comfortable fans are!

The University has to make a coaching change or they will have an empty basketball area just like the hockey team has had as a result of the AD waiting too long to replace Coach Lucia. By getting Coach Motzko they are on their way back but while waiting too long they lost many or most season...

So well said. Thank you! With less than 2 minutes left today with and 8 point lead we lose> I blame coaching!

Yes they did! Go Gophers!

Yes they did!

Yes they can!

It will be such a wonderful sound to hear the Battle Hymn once again- maybe even twice. Congrats to the team and the coaches for putting it all together. Thanks for bringing the PRIDE back on Ice!

Might this just be an ongoing Pitino recruiting challenge?

Minnesota “Pride on Ice” has returned! Congrats to the team for a great weekend of Gopher Hockey!

The AD waited way too long! This is the State of Hockey! This is the largest university in the state! The area was empty . The players did not always show up to play. The team was not working for years. I appreciate the hiring of Coach Motzko but the longer they waited the harder his job...

Pride on ice was back tonight. Thank you Gophers !

I have been a season ticket holder since 1981 and regular fan since 1975. It was a very sad feeling to see most seats empty for the USA National Under 18 Team last Friday. I know it didn’t count for much and there was a snowstorm but the empty arena was depressing. Even sadder was the outcome...
