Selected tidbits from "Powers to lead Falcons on ice", Sentinel-Tribune, July 12, 1994, by Kevin Gordon "...ever since he left BG, Powers has been waiting to return." "'This is a real big event in my life and my family's life,' said Powers..." "'This is a great place to be because of its location, its tradition, its academics and the people in the community,' Powers said about BG." "Powers likes BG's nucleus [of players]....Eighteen of the 21 players who dressed for BG's final game last season return." "'Our goal is to make a run at the CCHA and the national playoffs right away,' Powers said. 'This is a great program.'" "Powers agreed to a four-year contract, but he declined to give his salary." "'Buddy is a perfect fit,' said retiring BG athletic director Jack Gregory." "Gregory said money was not [an] issue with [Rick] Comley, who recently agreed to a 3-year contract extension at NMU. But the extension...was never signed [allowing Rick to consider the BG job]." "Gregory also denied a report [that] Comley did not want to retain [Wayne] Wilson as BG's top assistant coach, if Comley was hired as the new coach." "Wilson will be Powers' No. 1 assistant....Todd Flichel, a[nother] defenseman on BG's national championship team, will be BG's graduate assistant coach next season....One other assistant coach remains to be named, although it could be [HOCKEY-L member!] Mike Cavanaugh, a volunteer assistant coach with the Falcons during the 1992-93 season. He's currently an assistant at Dartmouth."
