This one has been percolating for a little while. Will definitely be a big loss. Mike has done a great job at URI.

Really sad to see him go. It was always nice to have someone who would engage with us here.

Best of luck, Mike. Great all-sports opportunity in the ACC (hockey + others).

Throw us a home and home please!

I will miss Mike. He was always willing to help anytime I had a special request.

More importantly, I know he worked his ass off for this program.

While I don't know Mike well enough to know his motivation for the move, I know he has a young child and I remember how much having a young child motivated me to get that money. I hope he is getting some ACC type cash!

Good luck to you and your family, Mike!

Daryl Jasper also left URI this summer for a promotion with Learfield Sports.

Happy for Mike but this is a significant loss to the program and department. Mike went above and beyond.

Even as we climb the ladder of success, we're going to lose people.

It's the nature of the beast. We just can't pay what the big boys can, from bottom to top.....

Did Laprey and his family already live in Boston? The BC press release reports it as their home. I would not have thought someone that just gave notice could get resettled that fast.

Ironically enough Mike & his family have been Providence residents to my knowledge in the Elmhurst area near that crappy black and white catholic school
