Union College: 2021-2022

[Dutchman]

We were outshot 49-11. I guess that says it all. It's going to be a long season.

Nine of our starters are playing their first career game. The UNH rink is packed.

We used three different goalies in our scrimmage with RPI. Will be interesting to see how Coach develops this year's team.

No visual or play by play so hard to ascertain exhibition play. We are picked by coaches and media to finish near the bottom. Should get a better sense when they square off against UNH next week. Fotballwon their 5th straight but all against very weak teams. They now face St Lawrence, Hobart, and Ithaca with a combined record of 11-1, and Hobart and Ithaca are both ranked. They have not been overpowering or dominating weak teams and the stats tell us the contests may be closer than the scores show.

The roster is finally out. Looks like 5 seniors, (4 defensemen, and one forward), 10 Juniors, 8 Sophomores, and 8 Freshmen. Total 31. Not particularly big or small. No recognizable scoring punch. If the new goalie transfer from Northeastern works out, we could be a respectable defensive-orientated team. Because of Covid lots of unknowns going into the year. https://unionathletics.com/sports/me...-hockey/roster I see us starting out really bad to start, and then just being so so bad as the season progresses. With our politically correct new president, it will be back to mediocrity for the Dutchmen as 2013 fades into memory.

Exhibition Game vs RPI this Saturday at 4:00 - Mesa Rink. "PLEASE NOTE: Unless otherwise noted, masks will be required in all indoor facilities at Union, including Messa Rink, regardless of vaccination status."

This is the Union College "Dutchmen" hockey thread for 2021-2022. We have 31 players on the roster as of 09/30/2021. There are Four Senior Defensemen and a Senior Forward. It is unclear what overall talent we have this year. Given all the transfers, the success of the team may be a big challenge for the coaching staff. Here is hoping we can fill the stands again and be respectable. Colgate, Clarkson, St. Lawrence, and Qpac all have the benefit of some play last year. We have a very tough non-conference schedule.
