No one will argue that his hockey knowledge is far superior, but the issue lies with his coaching in a game setting. He needs to make a better effort bringing everyone together to rock the rink. He's been around a long time though so not sure that will ever change.

Coach Van Buskirk is by far the most hockey knowledgable coach I have had. He is a true student of the game, and his passion for the nuances of the game is infectious. This also means he can talk for hours about it. If you love the game, his passion will only bring the best out of you.

Have never felt more mistreated or depersonalized by a coach inmy life. Not only is he unwilling to make changes to the lineup, when asked why a player isn't getting ice time he has no constructive criticism and portrays that there is not possibility to break into the line up regardless of performance.

He can talk a ton, and sometimes it can get tedious, but the guy really knows his stuff. Been around forever so has a ton of knowledge. Doesn't play favorites but if someone has more skill or works harder they'll get more playing time, simple as that. Nicest guy and super flexible when it comes to academics.
