The Lake Erie Monsters have a new head coach, and I have to admit it's a rather interesting choice. Replacing Joe Sacco will be former BU Terrier David Quinn. Quinn has been an associate coach with the Terriers for the last few years, including this past NCAA championship seasons. This means, of course, he has a great deal of familiarity with Avalanche prospects Kevin Shattenkirk, Colby Cohen and Brandon Yip.

Here's the Avalanche press release announcing the hiring as well as Quinn's BU coaching bio.

sorry doc – I see your post too, but I was already in the middle of this one

haha, no worries. your post is much more…professional than mine anyways. :)

it looks like a good hire on paper. he’s got the record, the accolades, and he’s even familiar with some of our prospects already.

so, I know Shattenkirk is expected to return to BU next year (as captain), but I wonder if this will affect that decision in any way? (Yip was a senior last year, and Cohen isn’t quite there yet, from what I understand)

I like it

Anytime you can hire someone away from Jack Parker’s staff, you’ve done a tremendous job, especially when you consider that BU is an Avalanche farm team anyway.
