[Mike Hutter]

Here we go!! A tip of the hat to Bruno for the title.

For an initial comment, here is some info Bruno came up with:

Johnny Gaudreau - 2010 - 2011 USHL Dubuque Fighting Saints Regular Season - 36 - 36 - 72 points

Kevin Roy - 2011 - 2012 USHL Lincoln Stars Regular Season(2 games to go) - 52 - 48 - 100 points

I am trying to control my excitement.

Let's hope we get to tip our hats to Bruno for a different kind of title next March/April!

Bruno: Will any of the home Saturday games be played in the afternoon?

Re: Brown Hockey 2012-2013:Climbing the ECAC Ladder

I know others like it, but I'm SO sick of the Ivy Showcase. I think we discussed this last year, so I won't get too into it, but I'd way rather play a couple Hockey East teams (hell, let's play Providence twice! Home-and-home Mayor's Cup series!) so we get a new, refreshing challenge, rather than just losing to Dartmouth for the 50th time since Gaudet left Brown.

I see the Mayor's Cup is an afterthought again. After being played on New Year's Day this past season, it'll be on the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend, when no one's on campus. Blah.

Also, I'm not happy the Harvard/Dartmouth home series is over Brown's winter break. These are the two games the students actually show up for, and this year, they'll be away.

Another thought: we should have our home-and-home with Yale on the last weekend of the year. Penn and Princeton do that in basketball, and it's really intense. Then again, I don't think Yale considers us to be a rival, so they probably wouldn't be as enthused.

That said, we actually have as many home games as away games this year! That never happens!

The following games are tentative possibilities:

Saturday, November 10 CLARKSON 4:00 or 7:00 p.m.
Saturday, November 17 ARMY 4:00 or 7:00 p.m.
Saturday, December 8 RENSSELAER 4:00 or 7:00 p.m.
Saturday, January 19 HARVARD 4:00 or 7:00 p.m.
Saturday, February 2 PRINCETON 4:00 or 7:00 p.m.
Saturday, March 2 COLGATE 4:00 or 7:00 p.m.

I will re-post the full schedule when all of the game times have been finalized.

Another story on Kevin Roy:

For the record, one of the other USHL players mentioned in the story, Zach Aston-Reese, will be attending Northeastern, not Brown.

The plan, which may or may not be realized this year, is to turn the Mayor's Cup into a city-wide family event, possibly combining it into a doubleheader with the P-Bruins and including a hockey clinic by players from both Brown and Providence College at the rink downtown. Thanksgiving weekend appears to be a good time to carry this plan out. Let's give coaches Whittet and Leaman, as well as Providence Economic Development Director Jim Bennet (Brown'79), the chance to bring it to eventual fruition.

I wish we could dump the Ivy Showcase and pick up some quality OOC games.

The Showcase allows the coaches to experiment and particularly to see what young players can do in game situations before the real season starts. For example, last year Coach Whittet used eight different defensemen during the weekend, giving freshmen Kyle Quick and Joey DeConsylsis the opportunity to show what they were capable of.

Ideally the Ivy Showcase would be played in a neutral site (e.g., New York City) that would allow for large attendance by alumni from the four schools. Brown and Yale tried that in 1997 and 1998 with considerable success (the games were held at Chelsea Piers and followed by a reception for alumni, players and families), but it appears that the Ivy League frowned on it (as it does on essentially any idea that makes good sense), and the game was dropped.

Not to take anything away from Roy (I actually brought up how well he was doing in the other Brown thread), but to be fair, keep in mind that Gaudreau was about 15 months younger than Roy when they both put up those numbers. Again, I'm sure Roy will be a great player, but who knows what Gaudreau could have done as an 18 year old in that league...
