Trent Bonnett has signed to play pro hockey with the Mississippi Surge in Biloxi in the SPHL. I know I'm a little late to the party in reporting this.

Originally posted by Snively65 View PostI really thought that our coaching staff had our guys totally relaxed last year at Yost. At least that is the way our players appeared to me as they got off the bus and walked by our 60-strong tail-gating greeting party outside Yost before the Friday night game.
Bentley's visit at Yost was definitely my favorite weekend of college hockey ever, which includes 10 Frozen Fours, four that included my alma mater UNH. Perhaps it is my long-time connection to U Michigan through their geology field camp in Wyoming and my tough decision to attend Maine instead of Michigan for my first graduate degree. I am really pleased that we got invited back to Yost for a game this season, and regret that I cannot attend this time around. Hope that the Falcons can hang tough for a full 60 minutes this year.
Thanks for the comments, Streaker. I do not know Humanoid, but if I hear of someone streaking across Bentley's campus around 10 pm on October 19th, I will know the reason!
One note though: Our freshmen netminder Rutledge apparently had some minor eye surgery and is having irritation with contacts, also. He is most likely out for the exhibitions this weekend/next week and may not play in the RIT series. Not sure if he'll be back for Bentley.

Originally posted by Humanoid View PostStreaker - appreciate the input, and I can only hope that your name refers to winning and not what I'll do through Bentley's campus if they beat Michigan.
I heard a rumor that Michigan is providing Bentley's team with tickets to the Saturday football game as part of goodwill for going out to the hockey trip. I think that puts Bentley in the Big House for the Michigan St. game? it's still a very classy act of goodwill if true by the Michigan athletic department towards the visiting team.
I know that Bentley is taking a much different approach. From conversations with different people associated with the program, the team is a little bit more numb to the atmosphere of a place like Yost, which is a far cry from the JAR. But what they might've gotten bug-eyes at last year is boiling down to the fact that it's still frozen water (and a bunch of chemicals from the Zamboni) and it's no different from JAR ice except that it's probably a little bit smoother and a lotta bit cleaner.
It'll be very interesting, especially since Michigan is smack dab in the middle of some big games out this way. i'm kind of excited that Bentley isn't playing UMass-Lowell on the 13th so they'll be better rested for Michigan. I also anticipate that Komm will play at Michigan but not against Alabama-Huntsville. He was too overtaxed next year.
Then again I could be wrong.
If what you say is true, and I have some moles checking it out, then you would indeed have your team see the MSU game. It will be a dandy.

Dan's AHA champion is Air Force.
Shocker - so's everyone else's pick. I guess someone's going to have to unseat them at some point right?

Wow, that is an impressive collection, Ryan. Thanks for posting on our thread. Will look into the Bentley jersey thing for you. Meanwhile, this thread recently passed 20,000 views when I was not paying attention.

Just kidding - this is the real display and includes most of the collection.

I tried to talk the Bentley Bookstore into selling nylon jersey replicas, but they would not bite. They only sell hockey t-shirts.

We have Bentley slated at 2nd in the AHA this year. Go ahead and call us homers. But we think this team is going to be something special.... as long as it all comes together.

Originally posted by JohnsonsJerseys View PostSorry for the off topic post, but I would love to add a couple Bentley jerseys to my collection. I'm trying to get at least one from Every D-I team. Can someone give me an idea what the team does with them once they are no longer used? Sold outright? Raffle? Give-a-ways?
Thanks,

Re: Bentley Hockey 2012-2013: The New Era of JAR Pride Begins
You know.. we run preseason predictions and capsules, but the fact remains that any of these teams in the top 6 for the AHA could finish anywhere in that spot. The toughest thing to think through was the whole "Who can beat who on this night" thing. Unfortunately, too often it boils down to who played the night before, who needs a rest, who's running a hot streak. Looking at these teams on pure paper statistics might be the toughest thing we've done in a long time.
The fact remains that a loss in November against Robert Morris doesn't seem like a lot, but if you go back to last year and put back that 6-6 tie against Holy Cross when Bentley was winning, then had to come from behind on a Tuesday night? If they win that game, they're the 4 or the 5. Instead they were the 6. If they don't blow that game against Army last year at home and lose 3-1, AND they don't blow that Holy Cross game, there's three points and all of a sudden Bentley has the same amount of points as Air Force. And I'm not sure but since Bentley took 3 points from Air Force last year, that would've given them the top seed.
What's this mean? It means Bentley can win those games, and I personally think they do this year. The playoffs are another story though. That's a crapshoot.
And yes, this will probably be an article at some point for those of you who are wondering.
