PJ Fletcher was drafted in the third round by Dubuque in the USHL Phase II draft which is a pretty good sign he won't be returning in the fall.

Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats 2020 Off-Season

Jonathan, any word on Jayden Lee and how serious his injury was? Would he have been able to play this season or did he undergo surgery or longer term injury!? Kid has skills, and I liked his speed and capability to have the opponents defense on their heels.....or in Billy Sweezey's case, braced for impact only and i still believe their may have been some upper cut (accidentally or not) from a stick handle to the chin possibly...maybe i am projecting my disappointment on Billy Sweezey like I did with Luke Esposito a bit too harshly. But Jayen Lee can pass and distribution of the puck effectively, to another skater to the place where they can simply shoot is rare and he has that gift. That is very enabling skill packaged in a speedy skater but the Billy Sweezey's of the world will wait in hiding to impact those highly skilled players with softer skill sets like placing a threaded pass on the blade of another skater's stick...something the Billy Sweezeys will never be able to do. Jayden Lee, hope you're ok, healing and keep playing as hard as you can and rely on your teammates to warn you from the Sweeziness of lessor skilled hockey players....OK, my rant for the day and apologies for seemingly venting on Billy...and know as a hockey parent, few things make one more proud than watching your son on the ice making those type plays....but as a talent scouting fan, we view that player as a pothole.

Sweezey signed an AHL deal with the Pittsburgh Penguins this week.

The big thing I see missing is the ability to come in over the summer and workout together in the weight room, etc. That "bonding" helps the team gel and won't be available this year as best I can tell.

I'm also beginning to doubt the season will start October... we may even go without hockey at all for 20-21.

I believe this is most likely. It will take a long time for it to get to that point, though, because no one wants to actually face it and admit it.

I'm a bit of an outsider. Yet can tell you even in this environment the kids are training like crazy. Little concerned Harvard said they may not reopen until Jan 1. Yet boys are working hard to keep it going. They know they have a natty run next year, if next year happens.

Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats 2020 Off-Season

Just want to clarify that the green colored OOC teams are confirmed and the black colored teams are rumored or a guess by owing a visit. If you know something isn't right - just let me know and I can update!

Not at all, thanks for clarifying. I am very appreciative for this. My wife and I travel to many away games and it helps us plan . Thanks!

Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats 2020 Off-Season

Hey Mark, Congratulations again. The 20-21 schedule thread spreadsheet appears to be updated at least with the Non travel partner ECAC schedule. He’s got the OOC games as 4 home (ASU 2, UMASS, AIC). 4 Neutral ( Ireland and Bridgeport), and 5 OOC road games (Maine 2, VT, UMass and AIC). My math says that’s 35 games, but only 15 home.

Will they even play, will we be able to be in the stands if they do? At this point I would think the friendship four is doubtful.

Let’s hope this blows Over, be well, stay safe.

I hope Rand releases some details about the proposed schedule for next season (if there is one).

Not having sports had been a killer for me. Disney, Pixar, and Marvel just ain't cuttin' it, but I'm managing.

Hope everyone is well and stays safe...

Second, this whole virus mess made me rethink a few things and I got married on Saturday (instead of waiting until August). Whenever this mess goes away we'll celebrate properly with family and friends.

Congratulations Mark! After all you had nothing else to do since you couldn't go to the National Championship game Saturday night!!!

Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats 2020 Off-Season

So... an update of sorts...

First, a week and a half ago I found out that my job safe "for the foreseeable future" and we will not be closing in June as was planned. Additionally, we got bonuses for sticking it out, not to mention we've been deemed "essential" and are still working.

Lastly, I thought the team awards were all spot on. I will admit I wasn't even considering KP as MVP, but agree with the decision. The only surprise is that Tufto and Banjo didn't take home anything (but I expect both to be huge next year).

I hope Rand releases some details about the proposed schedule for next season (if there is one).
