Nahrgang Quitting Michigan Tech

HOUGHTON—It may be easier to become a legend than to replace one. That’s the harsh lesson Michigan Tech hockey coach Jim Nahrgang learned recently when he discovered it was one thing to follow in the footsteps of the legendary John Maclnnes, but quite another thing to fill his shoes. So Nahrgang, nearing the end of his third season as coach of the Huskies, resigned effective May 31. “I’ve been thinking about it from the start of the season,” Nahrgang said. “You have to have satisfaction from your work, no matter what you do. And in hockey, the satisfaction comes from the number of wins you have, nothing else. “For me, the only way I could feel satisfied would be to have a substantially larger number of wins than losses.

Picard Hopes Elevator Stops In Winnipeg

WINNIPEG JETS WINNIPEG—It is 5:31 a.m. when the first elevator plunks down, its bell dingling to welcome this early bird to the hotel’s barren lobby. No teammates are waiting for him. Not even the bus. But Robert Rene Joseph Picard is dressed, packed and ready to go. Startled, he sees a figure move. A writer who is either late or uncharacteristically early smiles sheepishly, knowing he has probably spoiled Picard’s day, having arrived before him. But such a suspicion is painfully presumptuous. He is glad to see you—cheerful and curious, as always. Among the people who call themselves the Winnipeg Jets, Picard is regarded as a novel human being, a would be travel agent and a born-again defenseman, having the best year of his career at the age of 27. “Robert has found his place in…
