We've grown accustomed to seeing the new football coach at midcourt of a basketball floor talking to his new fan base during a hoops game. But on the ice at a hockey match?

Welcome to Western Michigan, PJ Fleck. The Broncos new head coach continued spreading his message for the program (and even illustrated it briefly using a hockey stick to mimic rowing the boat) on campus this week. That message is: he plans to win a title.

"This won't be easy, but those who stay will be champions," Fleck said. "It will take all of us to get what we all want, and that's a ring on our finger. I am so proud to be your coach."
