 It was actually walking out of work when I heard it yesterday, just at one o'clock. And as I was walking out the door, I was saying yes. And I was excited about it and very honored to have this position. And I have a lot of investment in the program and not just in the high school program, but also with the youth hockey too as well. And I look forward to working with youth hockey throughout the season and throughout the years, so I'm real excited about it. I mean, there's a lot of things, just organizational things. And how to manage certain lines and how to put combos together and stuff and things that you're looking for in kids. But I've known Wade for a long time. His father and I used to do hockey camp together and be co-coaches sometimes. So I've known Wade since he's been a little kid at hockey camp. And nothing but a lot of respect for him. He did a great job with this program. The foundation was built many years ago and he came in here and knocked up a few more walls on that foundation. And so I just want to kind of carry on what he started and continue on what's been done and just keep moving forward. Yeah, I have, yeah, I've gotten some text messages and I've also ran into some guys too as well. And so right now it's still fresh. And I've already had a couple phone conversations with some coaches throughout the state here. And so just trying to finalize schedules and things like that. And move things around if we can. And but it's just, it's really fun. I'll tell you right from the start, it's just been really a go, go, go. So I'm excited. I've been around Lumberjack hockey for a while. I did coach for a while back from 97 to the early 2000. So and then I've been back now for about six years. So being behind the bench, I'm not worried about any of that bench management stuff, anything like that. I know that our kids are gonna be prepared every game to play. And so I'm just excited to get moving forward here and look forward to meeting with all the kids and getting things started for the summer. It's really huge. My brother played here back in the early 80s too as well. So and he was here through like the mid 80s. So I heard a lot of those guys back in the day when they went to the state tournament that was like 29 years ago when we first went a few years ago. So I got to hear a lot about those guys. And to me they were kind of legends as I would hear from my brother, some of those guys. And so they come up here, play at BSU, get to kind of know the program and watch them because they did play at the same place that we played at. And so we got to watch them and when I got done playing college hockey, I just felt like it's a natural fit, move right in and got a coaching job here with the high school and just kind of ran with it for a while. And I'll tell you, I'm originally from Rochester, Minnesota, but when I came up here I fell in love with Bemidji and I've been here for 20 plus years. And when they asked me where do I call home and this is where I call home. Oh yeah, it's huge. I mean, Minnesota hockey is right up there with Texas football. I mean, it's number one. And when you get in a position like this, there's a lot of responsibility. You've got 40 guys that you've got to look out for and 40 other kids that aren't yours, but you treat them like they are yours. And the hockey community is a great community. I have some coaches have reached out to me and congratulated me. And it's just really good. And I'm just looking forward to getting together with some of those coaches here in the future. No, youth hockey is, you know, that's our feeder program to the high school. And those kids spend about eight to nine years in that youth program before they get to us. So I think it's real important for me to, you know, come in and help out youth hockey and be a part of making some decisions and making some changes if they have to be some changes and, you know, or just sitting down and trying to figure it out. There's a lot of good hockey minds in this community that are part of youth hockey. And so I think if we all just get down collectively, put our heads together, we can figure some things out and, you know, not only can we pump hockey players out of this town, but we can also pump good men and good women, too, as well.
