He can still recruit, but will not be able to skate during his recovery time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not sure there&#8217;s a level [Kleinendorst] hasn&#8217;t coached at,&#8221; Huskies head coach Bob Motzko said in the report. &#8220;With Gibby&#8217;s situation, we don&#8217;t know where that&#8217;s going to lead. Especially, early in the year, we&#8217;re hoping it&#8217;s a one-month thing that Gibby&#8217;s back, but the doctor wants him off [the ice] for six months. Gibby&#8217;s telling you six days.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a great rule in the NCAA to allow for a provisional coach because we still have to do our business.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kleinendorst, who played at Providence, coached Alabama-Huntsville in 2012-13, as well as the U.S. National Team Development Program in 2009-10, and was coaching the AHL&#8217;s Iowa Wild until he was fired Nov. 9, 2014.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s fresh, gets me back at it and it&#8217;s a good group,&#8221; Kleinendorst said in the article. &#8220;I do know Bob and the little bit we&#8217;ve crossed paths, I&#8217;ve always appreciated him. He&#8217;s done a nice job here and built a great program.
