Re: UNO '13-'14 Season Thread: Barnstorming Through a New League and Raising a New Ba
This email was sent to UNO fans and supporters this weekend by Trev Alberts:
Since Trev obviously frequents USCHO.com it's my sincere hope that he takes what is intended as constructive criticism here about our program to heart.
He needs to be more visible and what is going on within the program needs to be far more transparent than it is, now.

Dear Maverick Hockey Fans,
I want to personally thank you for your ongoing commitment to Omaha hockey and our athletic department. Our inaugural season in the NCHC was successful and while we fell short in our attempt at a conference championship, we are proud of how well our team represented UNO and Omaha. Below are a few noteworthy accomplishments:
Finished Third – Pre-season picked eighth
Josh Archibald – Top 10 Hobey Baker Finalist and NCHC Player of the Year
Jake Guentzel – Rookie of the Year finalist
Dean Blais – NCHC Coach of the Year finalist
I am well aware that our success is largely dependent on the support of our fans and community. I continue to be humbled by the consistent and on-going support of this community from the inception of our program until now. One indicator of that support is attendance. I recently observed an article on USCHO.com regarding men’s hockey attendance for the 2013-2014 season, I thought you might be interested. Please see the attached document.
Omaha hockey continues to be one of the great national success stories in college hockey! Our program finished with a higher per-game average than Boston College, Penn State, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Boston University, and that is all because of our great fans. Additionally, please note the attendance of NCHC members. Five of our members finished in the top 11 nationally in attendance, putting us in very good company.
We are very proud of the program that each of you has helped to build, and we take our responsibility as stewards of the program very seriously. We continue to feel that we are in the best conference in college hockey, led by the best coach in college hockey, and we look forward to competing in the best venue for college hockey very soon.
