The timing of the firing of Troy Ward as the University of Wisconsin associate men’s hockey coach puts head coach Mike Eaves in a bit of a bind for finding a replacement.
…the Badgers now have a short window in which to hire a new assistant coach. The job will be posted starting Monday and Eaves must wait two weeks before making a move, putting the calendar at Aug. 15. Classes begin Sept. 2, which is probably around the earliest time the new hire would be able to start if the process moves along quickly.
