Hockey East: The Bertagna Cup

[Patman]

He has provided leadership for Hockey East and has/is doing a commendable job. He took the time to respond to a letter I wrote a couple of years ago. Didn't really think he would respond. Not sure I would honor his name while currently serving as commissioner though.

He's done an adequate job and in grand boston area tradition we are seeking to reward him because he was neither fired or has died.

Now, I don't think he's that bad, I don't like the idea of awarding somebody for marking time. I'm sure Joe is a great guy but he has been adequate... That's about it.

Where is Patronick to spread some wisdom on Bertagna?

Re: Hockey East: The Bertagna Cup

One plus for Bertagna is that he is in favor of showing replays of all goals to paying fans in arena
At BU and I assume other arenas we never see the opposition goals.

Just don't ask for any sound when the refs are reviewing those goals, especially at the Garden.

The Jerry York Cup would be more appropriate.

It should be the Dick Umile trophy, as he always focuses his team on winning HE RS more than anything else.

Re: Hockey East: The Bertagna Cup

As mentioned in Jim Connelly's article for This week in Hockey East BC coach Jerry York is trying to make the HEA RS title be called the Bertagna Cup, after the current commissioner Joe Bertagna.

I think it'd be a great idea, considering all that he has done for HEA in his now 16 years as commissioner. Any thoughts?

It was the game Quinn made a tremendous save for the Terriers.

Re: Hockey East: The Bertagna Cup

this is a pretty good rookie class.......from hockeyeastonline.com

The All-Rookie team was highlighted by three unanimous selections, including: UMass-Lowell goaltender Connor Hellebuyck (Commerce, Mich.), Boston College defenseman Michael Matheson (Pointe-Claire, Que.) and Northeastern forward Kevin Roy (Lac-Beauport, Que.). They were joined on the team by Providence College netminder Jon Gillies (South Portland, Maine) and a pair Boston University players in defender Matt Grzelcyk (Charlestown, Mass.) and forward Danny O'Regan (Needham, Mass.).

Re: Hockey East: The Bertagna Cup

Gee

Mookie last week was talking to someone and hoped out loud that when jackpa quits in a couple weeks they name this after him.
And coincidence of coincidences, jrrwy devil wants to take that away from him!!!

They can name it after Parker, fine with me...as long as they then rename the playoff trophy after York

sterlippo, you in the wrong thread???

Re: Hockey East: The Bertagna Cup

Does Bertagna need ANOTHER trophy named after him?
