    Personally I say he plays a great year this year. He bulks up over the summer (he's far too small right now to picked up by a NHL team), plays an absolutely incredible year next year, carries us through to the Hockey East Final game, then leaves for an NHL team.
    That sounds about right. Although reading Mike's article in the Sunday Trib he went through an awful lot of trouble to get into college. He might want to see it through.

      Can you alumni please start petitioning for a new rink? There are D-3 teams across New England throwing up rinks left and right, yet Merrimack still plays in the same sh*t box. That was a new low last night without the scoreboard working....
      The Ice complex is my favorite rink of all time. It is a great barn with up close and personal view of the benches. You can hear everything the coaches are saying. A higher ceiling and a score board would be nice tho.

Also, supposively in a few years they want to be able to raise the ceiling..not sure how that works/the cost but that's the rumor. Information on this can be seen here:

        That's great to hear, especially the student section. If the current student fans/the administration can motivate the rest of the campus to fill the rink I think the coziness of Lawler will provide a really great environment. That student section is going to be right on top of the opposing goalie, and I applaud it.

          Yes, the stories all emphasized how hockey isn't really that big in France, and how he wanted to get an education in the US.

          Of course, with all due respect to everyone involved, there is a point in the process where just about every student athlete says that

          Glad to see MC get its own thread.

                  Thanks for the post, these two teams have some great history. I hope we can get it reignited. I know I'll be making the trek to Tsongas with some blue and gold facepaint...hopefully I don't get dumped into the rivah haha

                    The ice already is not safe again. Go down by the zamboni door and look at it. An accident waiting to happen. I love MC hockey and will root for them but the improvements this summer were not as billed. It looks exactly the same and the team deserves better. MC has to many clowns on the board of direectors with no clue. Clean sweep and bruing in some inovators with brains.

                          i have been there a couple times and the ice is fine. it is 100 % better and more safe from last year, no more cement showing or hills and valleys. no one will get hurt by doors, puck may bounce yes, but no one will get hurt. actually looking closely at it it DOES look improved. so why don't just shut up about it things are fine and just root on the team. stop trying to find negatives, its the kind of attitude the team and program doesn't need anymore

                            I agree, however I would have responded without using the term shut-up..it carries negativity its self.

                            The ice is a lot better than last year, I have skated on it. Sure it may not be as nice as Agganis's or Conte's but can you really expect that? It is certainly safe and honestly having it be a little bouncier than other rinks plays to the home team's advantage.

                            The program has gotten fresh blood with Glenn, and we are already seeing the improvements come.

                              BS

                              The ice by the zamboni door is not safe and it is in fact not much better then the past. To say it is 100% better is a lie spoken by someone who has not looked at it. Drive over today, walk down, look at it and then you shut your mouth because your wrong

                              The attitude that the team needs is people demanding that the administration step up and build them a hockey east rink. so far below any other rink it is laughable.

                              The board of directors at MC is a joke and has no clue what they are doing.

                                New rinks are nice but most have little to no character and aren't really a difficult place for opponents to play in. Volpe has potential at least. Who wants fans right on top of them in such close quarters? It will be interesting to see how the renovations turn out. It is amusing to hear some fans complaining about how horrible the ice or Volpe is and what an advantage it is to Merrimack. When their team won, it didn't seem to matter at all.

                                Season is still early but I'd guess Merrimack will win a lot more than the nine games they did last year. I'd be surprised if DaCosta leaves after this year. He's good, very good, but he doesn't have the JVR/Stalberg/Wilson body the pros love. I'd guess minimum two years and hopefully three for thier team's sake. Yah, Bigos looks like he going to end somebody's season at some point this year. Quick hands for a big fella too.
