    Re: UML Offseason Begins

    alright, stupid question... when do teams stop practicing... RPI being done for a few weeks now but looking at the possibility of an NCAA bid makes me wonder when teams are actually obligated to stop... I would think any coach (provided the team has one) would like teams practicing at some level as long as possible... I mean look at the talk about the gains during the bowl period for football teams... does anybody around here know?

      usually when a team is done (no way to get in the tournament) they stop their usual practice schedule. this week being spring break for a lot of schools, a lot of guys have gone home for the week or gone away somewhere. not sure how teams like rpi do things. i remember last year UNH was on the bubble and lost in the first-round but Umile said we will practice like we are going to be in it, until the announcement was made that they made the tournament. not sure how rigorous the actual practices are for teams that may or may not have a real chance at the tourney.

        They practice until they absolutely know they aren't in it. Full out like any other week in the season. Any time off other than what is usual in the season and you lose the edge physically but more important you mess up the 'rhythm' of the team. Once they are out they stop having ice. Most teams have an off ice regimen that goes into place right after they are done. That might be with the team in an unofficial way or not but certainly everyone knows what to do.

              I was just wondering because I could assume you could play dumb though its harder if your RPI is well below .5000. I'm not trying to tempt fate, but if you can squeeze out an opportunity to make your team better...

                  Imagine if Merrimack actually takes the banner.

                    It must be nice to head into the HE playoffs with a NCAA bid all ready locked up.

                        actually, it all came to a halt about 10 years ago when "the midget was hired!"

                            Not sure if he's a candidate or anything, but if he wants the job, there was no better time to hit a coaching milestone. UML is looking for a coach and the top article on the hockey webpage is about an alum's coaching success in juniors.

                            Not sure if the best choice is a (1) good USHL coach, (2) assistant from prominent NCAA program, or (3) something else (old pro player, etc.) but hopefully we hear soon and the current recruits and freshmen stay put.

                            Nice to see they added Ben Holmstrom's picture from a Flyers game to the the website's scrolling pictures of former UML players that have seen time in the NHL (even if he has only played one game so far).

                            Good win for the baseball team in NE-10 opener. Will be nice if they can get another one in Bentley today to start the conference slate strong.

                              As of March 21st, the baseball team was the first in the receiving votes category off the rankings. They have a top 30 in their poll.

                                Or 4) a current NCAA head coach. Anyway, that's what the Sun's article had said a couple of weeks ago. I think they're hoping to have someone hired before the coach's meeting which starts in April at some point. But with the Tournament about to start up, if they're looking at any assistant or coach that's involved, they'd have to wait.
