    Re: Atlantic Hockey 2009-2010

    Very nice win for Sacred Heart on Sunday against Dartmouth. For the season they have gone a respectable 2-3-1 against the ECAC (including an OT loss). Those five points would have them in a tie with Princeton for 9th ahead of Clarkson, Harvard, and Dartmouth. Having a new head coach that came from the ECAC seems to have helped them prepare for these OOC games.

    If they can start to play with some of that consistency in conference, they can make a little move in the AHA.

    Anyone know what happened to the annual Army-RMC game? I thought that was a great hockey-centric rivalry for the service academies. 75 year rivalry was pretty impressive for hockey.

    And, Yale and Brown beat Quinnipiac (7-4 and 2-1) the previous two games, knocking the Bobcats from #4 to #7. And, Bentley beat Brown 3-2 the Tuesday before Thanksgiving when Brown was still winless, so.......... AHA teams did not get the big OOC upsets in the early season this year like last, but there is still time to make some noise over the holiday tournaments.

    Only problem is the games are this weekend and have not yet happened.

    Wonder what he was thinking?
    I'm sure there are some plausible explanations -

    He spent the weekend in Erie covering RIT-Mercyhurst and got some bad chicken.

    He's hedging his bets for this week. In the column he says AFA takes 3 pts from UConn, in his pick'em side bar he says AFA sweeps.

    He's planning ahead and intends to reuse the column next week.

    He sticks in one subtle mistake every week in a cunning plan to see if anyone actually reads his column, and pays attention.

    In an effort to support the Tigers, he's hoping that Serratore gets confused and AFA stays in Colorado waiting for AIC to show up, then has to forfeit the weekend to UConn.

    Finally had a chance to get to USCHO. I've been following Mercyhurst's struggles through texts from the school, but was a little shocked when I looked at the standings. Seeing Army and Mercyhurst at the bottom came as a slight surprise.

    RSTuthill - As long as the creek don't rise, I'll be at both AIC-UConn games. I'll either have my Detroit Tigers jacket or my Black RPI Lacrosse jacket on(if it is not freezing)

    Dude. Let it go, man!! That was two years ago!!

    They'll be just fine, not to worry. If they can endure 10,000 people, mostly students shouting nice four letter words at them, as in Wisconsin, Rochester or the Ritter, will be not much of a problem all things considered.

    Besides, they don't hear any crowd when they're winning on the road.
    Personally, I'm just looking forward to a new crop of teams coming to the barn. Even the teams we rarely play (see Quinnipiac last weekend) have all made the trek to the Island before.

    I guess that you never attended a Bentley game at John A. Ryan Rink in Watertown (Mass.) before they added some heat ducts over the seating a couple of years ago.

    No more free pizza , so the fan base has been sporadic the first three games at the JAR this season. Also, the JAR is about 3 miles from campus, which is a little far to walk, but no free bus.

    Sounds like the program is making strides. Building the fan base through free pizza and bus rides. That's worked pretty well for Canisius, so good luck to AIC. I'm all for better atmosphere in the league.

    I don't have to worry about it until next season when RMU comes onboard, but should I get studded snow tires for the road trips?
    Western NY is really no worse than any other place in the NE in the winter. Do we get big blizzards a couple times a year? Yes. Is it cold? Yes, its winter for crying out loud
