I want to make this clear as I begin...this is not an attack on a coach, this is not an attack on a program...it's merely an observation that the Western Michigan hockey team is not living up to the standards born in the mid-80's and 90's Bronco Hockey teams.
It has often been said that the only true place WMU can compete on a national level in Varsity athletics is on the ice. Even as the Football and Basketball programs continue to get more exposure...the national championship statement reigns true today.
In an NCAA Sport in which Ferris State can win the CCHA and make it to the NCAA playoffs...the Broncos are falling terribly short. In College Hockey their is no mid-major, there is no mountain to climb to be noticed, and yet the Broncos still approach it that way.
It is often said that Michigan State has an inferiority complex with Michigan...Western Michigan may have one with itself. Why does the athletics department settle for mediocrity in "THE" sport that could bring them the most glory?
After a 4-0 loss to Ferris Friday night in Grand Rapids...shouldn't the University be asking itself...why are we allowing this to happen?
Build on the great resources you have...don't let them fall to the wayside.
Bring a swagger back to Lawson.
Tonight: Broncos VS Ferris State Bulldogs from Lawson at 7:35.
