If Coach Tortorella leaves, Mike Bavis is available. Thoughts?

Maine will reportedly announce it's new Head Coach early next week. If Coach Tortorella gets the job, it will be an important loss for UNH. Tortorella taught the last two UNH teams how to play team defense.

Originally posted by Greg Ambrose View PostNo doubt internet sales have had some effect but I was told that the Friend's booth closed mainly because they could no longer afford the 20% usuary fee that the arena imposed on them. This is ancient history now but, before the Whit opened, the contract that the management company (forget their name now) had with the arena vendors required them to pay 20% of their gross income for the right to set up shop at the Whit. This fee also applied to the Friends of UNH Hockey even though it was a non-profit with the express purpose of plowing all revenues back into the hockey program. Some of us on the board at the time argued that requiring the Friends to pay was ludicrous given their mission. If it was ludicrous then, it is even more ludicrous now when every dollar earmarked to the program is important. Of course, the argument made at the time fell on deaf ears. For more than 15 years the Friends were able to absorb the fee which continued to be applied even after the University took over management of the Whit. However, as the perception of the team changed, the revenues for the booth dropped to the point that the 20% fee became such a big obstacle that it didn't make sense anymore to continue. The outcome of this decision is really disappointing. The Hardenbrooks worked very hard to make the displaying of the UNH Hockey logo among the fans a necessity. Too bad that the University didn't recognize this.

My heart wants the current T_Hall logo to remain, but my head understands the importance of the above and having a logo that encompasses more than just Durham. Watching the entire video presentation is important to understanding what they are trying to accomplish.

Originally posted by zoofer View PostThanks Darius for stating the obvious....it has nothing to do with the sports logo....I just thought that the Cat's face logo was better then what the Know-it-alls in NY had proposed! And Greg, the Friends shut down the booth because they cannot compete with what is available online for price and variety. Heck, Dan gave up the Hockey East website so there's a lot more to it....

In an attempt (likely in vain ) to get the discussion back to hockey, here's a short video I found on the UMaine thread:

Perhaps a clue or two in there as to why UNH teams aren't known for their late season success ...

How can that be ??? .... are any of the negative views getting through to the "central administration."
Anyway, for anyone who hasn't seen what $100,000 will buy you these days logo-wise, check out the following link to the Union-Leader website, which also gifts us with some independent feedback from marketing folks. And to be fair, it doesn't seem they are too impressed either ...

Turns out I wasn't too far off with my earlier speculation as to what they might look like. Two of them are (presumably intentionally) shaped like an old-style computer mouse, and the fourth is a 4-paneled shield that the "experts" concede is too busy and/or undecipherable. Keep up the good work, Erika ...
I can't believe we've been reduced to debating a new school logo ... ugh ...
