Uh, yes?

Pretty sure Dave Allan had the role of working with FOGO's not the tenders, nor did I see him on the recruiting trail when my goalie son was coming up. I don't think he was in the lead role for recruiting, nor training, tenders at least not during the era in which goaltending went downhill versus earlier eras of tender after tender excellence.

That said, he was by far my best goalie coach, excellent technique and drilling, detail oriented...same as he was as a field tactician. Tremendously successful in both stints as HC at Gilman.

I don't know that Quinn was involved in the recruiting either...full time job as lawyer.

As I've written earlier, I think goalie recruitment got fouled up primarily during ER.

Yes on Allen. I forget the year but Quinn noticed a flaw in our goalies positioning and made a suggestion. After implementation goalie play improved and Hopkins went on an end of season run. The following year he joined the staff.

Believe it was Schneider in 2015.

I think that would be an incorrect assumption.
According to NCAA rules, there were 2 paid assistants plus one volunteer assistant. Total 3 paid on field.
Dwan and Benson were the paid assistants.

The change in #'s would be this coming year.

Feel free to correct me.

but there are side benefits right for the volunteer coaches? like if their kids get in they get the employee tuition discount?

these guys post some hopkins stuff every few weeks. the other day was 1980 uva-hopkins. have to think the gb guys loved the 70s/80s astrostuf because seems like it was a lot easier to pick up gbs.

I would argue grad school and job prospects are much improved with a Hopkins diploma vs. a Salisbury one for many reasons

I wish him well.

Maybe he didn’t think he could get through school there and was depressed?
