UAH Hockey 2013-14: Feeling like a real D-I program again

[4four4]

Can the WCHA utilize the Internet?
If so the league will be very successful..

I hope the tradition, and. rivals make the WCHA. Stronger then the bigger market teams with tv contracts.

In the west outside of the Big 10 I don't think there are many big television markets.

I hope you eventually learn how to properly use a period.

Nice to see improved recruiting at UAH. I can't imagine what Cole or Lu has to go through, and Kurt started out in a hole after losing a couple key players after Portera's attempted slaughter of the program. Kleinendorst got it stabilized and now Corby is set up well to lead the program into a new era. It will take a little time, but I believe UAH can contend for a playoff berth within a couple years and for home ice in a couple more. Nice to see this program back on its feet!

Soquila is a 2013 recruit according to that article below. He's on campus.

Indeed he is, and the roster is live. http://www.uahchargers.com/roster.aspx?path=mhockey

Christian Costello missed everyone's radar that I saw. He gets Brice's old #5, as the big man now wears 57 in honor of the HOF Canadiens in his family tree. IIRC, Blake was wearing 57 in his last season in Montréal's organization. Danton did not like non-traditional numbers, and Lou stuck with that. I don't know what Kurt thought about such things, but clearly Mike is okay with it.

No other departures. 29-man roster — that's as big as I've ever seen us have.

Had a good conversation today with Dr. Altenkirch. I'm saving the results for an article on uahhockey.com to kick off our season, but my favorite was something along the lines of, "Let's face it: more people are going to come to a hockey or basketball game than are going to come to a high-end lecture on our campus."

There are 108 universities that are classified by the Carnegie Classification of Institutes of Higher Education. 17 of the 59 D-I hockey schools are on that list. One of the ten WCHA schools is on that list. Hint: I hold a degree from that one.

ETA: the others are BU, Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, Princeton, RPI, UConn, UMass, UMichigan, UMinn, Notre Dame, and Yale. That's good company.

Looks like Fox Sports Go is kaput for this season: http://www.westerncollegehockeyblog....rts-go-delayed

I don't know if we'll be back with American ONE or what. I expect so.

The Syrians need to know better than to mess with Huntsville. Drones get developed here.
