Josh Holmstrom signs ATO with AHL’s Bridgeport Sound Tigers.

Gambardella slightly reminds me of a Pendenza early in his career. Great wheels and energy but just needs to have the rest of his brain/body catch up with his feet. Would be great for Lowell if that ends up happening.

Could not agree more with the DCU. I will say they did do a nice job with the outer facade but the sightlines and inside of that place is still terrible. I think eating the 20 dollar bill I spent on food would have been better than what I consumed.

They ran out of water at one of the stands near our section ... prior to the game on Sunday. As in before the game even started.

I'm glad that so many of the seniors are going to the AHL. They deserve it.

I would imagine they'll be back on campus in a few weeks to finish up school.

My guess is he doesn't play unless it's wrapped up... Sorta like when the AHL tried to get Gordie Howe in a game a decade back

Off topic: My god is the DCU center an absolute dump. What an awful venue.

I take that over the Nazis in the Gahden any day. At least you could make noise, the ushers had a sense of humor and you could move around. I will take that over the Gahden and needing to watch everything so you don't get kicked out any day of the week.

The Wild play the Bruins on the 8th. Too bad the game is in Minnesota. I am sure it would have been a thrill for Folin to possibly play in the Garden with his new pro team when he was just there a few weeks ago winning the HE championship.

Re: UMass Lowell Offseason 2014: Brave New World

While I am a little surprised you guys are done, have to say I have been ultra impressed with the way your program has looked and played the last few seasons. Nearly every time I've seen UML play I am amazed at how many things they do right and do well. Bazin is one of brightest and best coaches in the NCAA right now. At this point I think only bad luck will keep you from winning an NCAA title in the next few years. I believe you guys are a championship program. While unfortunate for the program, players leaving early is usually a sign of doing something right

Flames are starting to look scarier down the line. Once JG goes there and with either Carr or Gilles they could be almost decent :P

From the PC thread...it appears Gilles will be back for another year.

And Gilles will be back according to his twitter

JG is a great college hockey player but i wonder how he'll do at the next level with his size.

Thanks for the post. It's amazing the progress the program has made under Norm the past three seasons. Hopefully they can keep it going.

We can say the same thing about any college hockey player....
