Fills one of the open positions. We’ve heard the other finalists were from the northeast and western Canada.
Merrimack associate head coach Curtis Carr has been hired by new Bowling Green head coach Ty Eigner to join his staff. Terrific addition to the BG staff.

And it looks like there’s the other.
According to multiple sources, the other new assistant (in addition to Curtis Carr) on the BG staff is Wisconsin alum Maco Balkovec, the head coach of Burnaby Winter Club.

The third finalist was an assistant coach at an ECAC program. Eigner seemed to have a deep pool of candidates to pick from during this search.

Seven current WCHA members, Bemidji State, Bowling Green, Ferris State, Lake Superior, Michigan Tech, Minnesota State, and Northern Michigan, have notified the WCHA of their intent to leave the league. This is the first step in forming a new conference.

This may come at a later time. There’s a lot of emotion/hurt feelings right now.
Simply: those financially committed to hockey were tired of being anchored by programs who struggled/refused to do the same.

@BGSUHockeySite any chance of a write up detailing the reasons behind the desire to leave the WCHA?

I’ve also spoken to a few around the league who were pretty frustrated with the league’s decision to allow UAA to move their games to a practice rink. The league requires rinks to seat at least 2,500.
That decision was made without input from every member school.

I’m also not sold that these seven programs will all end up in the same league in two years.
Common sense would dictate that BSU and MSU would be better suited in the NCHC. Miami and WMU would be equally benefitted by moving back to a Great Lakes league.
