Re: Northeastern Huskies 2016-17 -- Great Expectations
Northeastern doesn't have Hobey candidates very often and quite frankly it's a joke the lack of marketing the athletic department has done. ZAR and Sikura deserve better. IIRC, they did a much better job promoting Thiessen in '09.

Re: Northeastern Huskies 2016-17 -- Great Expectations
Merrimack and CHN reporter Mike McMahon said on twitter today that ZAR would be his pick for Hobey.

Originally posted by Split-N View PostThis is very well written and goes well beyond surface glitter. My question is, why did this have to be written by an unofficial blog that the university doesn't recognize (and maybe wishes would go away) instead of the official NU Sports Information staff? Are the powers on high telling them to keep a lid on hockey publicity or are we looking at a lack of initiative? I'm just asking. All I'm seeing on the Athletics web page is a dated fluff piece on Sikura.
In addition to all of the things pointed out on the blog, Northeastern has not one but two serious Hobey Baker candidates (ZAR and Sikura) and unless something is going on that I'm not able to see, I'm not aware of any official university communications initiatives that support, enhance, or advance the national candidacies of either in the wider hockey world. Let's start with the fan voting (yes, I know it counts for only one percent of the award formula) but an organized campaign to get out the fan vote (one vote per person per device per day) would at the very least get students, alums, and the wider fan base involved, give them a personal connection to the team, and maybe even put an extra butt or two in the seats. Plus, the higher the vote totals, the greater the potential impact on the Hobey Baker Foundation higher ups, who have the major say in the final selection.
Apologies in advance if I'm missing something but from where I sit, I'm dumfounded and frustrated over the apparent fact that the official university communications channels don't seems to be even trying to leverage the two strong Hobey candidacies to the mutual benefit of both the players and the school.
We have an enormous number of people doing the job that Jack Grinold used to do by himself with the aid of several interns. The number of people employed by the Athletics Department. Why we don't employ the man(people)power in ways that will shine a positive light on our athletes achievements. This raises all kinds of questions about the management as well as the lack of creativity and initiative at Cabot.

Side note re: Hobey voting, which are you state counts for all of 1% of the criteria for inclusion- current leaders are Vecchione (Union) with 16.1%, Cam Brown (Maine) with 7.4%, Tyler Kelleher (UNH) with 5.3%, Anthony Lewis (Miami) with 5.2%, and Parker Gahagen (Army) with 4.4%. Only three of those players belong in the discussion- Vecchione, Kelleher, Gahagen. All those schools, to my knowledge, are also smaller than NU, and most are hockey-centric (Miami/Maine/UNH/Union). So I imagine their athletic departments are pushing their players hard as a publicity thing.Last edited by NU_Husky; 02-16-2017, 01:31 PM.

Originally posted by HHound View PostSchultz' description sound like Tanner Pond with better balance and better offensive skills. That would be just fine. The kid must be a tough bird, as he came back from a back injury that cost him the second half of the season with Waterloo last year.

Originally posted by NU_Husky View PostIn a response to our post above, Scott Herbst, who follows the Cedar Rapids Roughriders in the USHL, commented that Schultz plays a similar game to Ryan McGrath, who went to UML. McGrath played in 139 games at Lowell, won one Hockey East championship, scored 60 points (including 21 his freshman year), and put up 88 PIM. He is listed at 5'7'', just like Schultz. If we can get that kind of production from Schultz in the bottom 6, I think we would be very happy. Herbst also added that Schultz "definitely plays the agitator role."

Originally posted by NU_Husky View PostBarring anything very unforeseen he will be here. He signed an NLI. I think he fully can take the job and run from day 1, but it would not be abnormal for Jim to rotate early in the season. We saw that with Witt/Roy and then Roy/Ruck before Witt and Ruck both took the jobs.

Originally posted by scorer View PostThanks for reaching out to a good source. Assuming Primeau is still arriving next season, if he still needs more experience to fully develop he can do so while sharing time with Ruck. I know Huskies fans are looking forward to having another goalie option.
