Re: UNH Wildcats 2016-17 -- We're Going to Have a Hockey Season Here!!

Watched the goal. Just as I remembered. Great outlet pass from Tim Murray, Bogey comes down the left wing, cuts to the middle and scores. One fan, behind the net jumping up and down, a fan who I found out later was Mr. Boguniecki, the father. The arena, which on TV (or maybe it was the DVD) was pretty dark but it looked about half full. So I whipped out my 1994-1995 Media Guide which had the game wrap ups from the year before and, lo and behold, the attendance was 2,795. So Chuck, you and I were right. The game was on March 12, a Sunday I think, probably during spring break.

Btw, and no surprise, Eric Boguniecki was one of the more dynamic players UNH has ever had, on and off the ice. Always remember the Hockey Banquet at the end of his senior year in 1997. After the festivities were over, he walks out of the New England Center with his parents, with a whole bunch of kids trailing behind shouting his name. He turned around, gave them all a small pep talk, got into the car, rolled down the window and waved to his adoring masses as he drove out of Durham for the last time. Actually, he still was in Durham getting ready for graduation, but I couldn't resist a bit of hyperbole.

My favorite Bogey memory was after getting a game misconduct, I believe during his senior year, he threw the first out on the first UNH goal. Th crowd went wild!

Yes on Red Berenson, but no mention of Bob Daniels in article, rather our own DU in third behind Rick Gotkin.

Sadly, I cannot make either of the "cupcake" games this weekend, but will be at Conte on Tuesday and back at the Whitt for AZ.

Right, I saw the article listed Dick third and Daniels may or may not be fourth but he is close behind at over 20 years himself. I did not do the research but did see that Daniels is only 57 - he certainly looks much older...

The first, or the phish, or the fish? Either way, agreed that the crowd went wild, as it was Snively!

Got me Snively! It was the Whitt however. Remember, he was probably a senior and those early Whitt years we could nearly fill the house.

And, you got me. Of course, Bogie was a freshman when he scored the last goal ever at Snively, was a sophomore during the year in Manchester, and played his last two years at the Whitt. But, I am guessing that he must have come back after graduation if he indeed threw the fish, as I do not think that players were ever involved in that ritual, which began in the early 70s at Snively.

Pretty sure it was as a player. IIRC, he got a game misconduct and had to sit out the next game. So he was in the stands and went down and did fish duties.

This is how I remembered that situation as well. Classic Bogie.

I stand corrected; sorry that I missed that one. Was Bogie a member of the fraternity that took on the fish duties?

Where is Collin Bouque this year? Was there something on one of our threads about his departure? Thanks.

If you are not one of his twitter followers, which I am not, you are apparently out of luck. But, he has not been on the team in two years, right?

Verizon isn't even bothering selling up level tickets for the game against Maine. Very sad how much attendance has declined in recent years. It definitely isn't just you.
