Hi All. Been hanging around here for past few years and not posting much. Decided to start a twitter account focused on PC hockey while also touching on other Hockey East and other NCAA hockey news. Have future roster projection in first few posts based on recruiting commits. Feel free to follow at TheCollegeHockeyHoodlum or @CHHoodlum. Let me know what else you would like to see discussed on Friars Hockey.

Well, Bennett got hired and Isles coaching job is taken. I'm sure that will disappoint no more than one of you here.

Bennett got an ECHL gig. His stock has plummeted.

With Barry Trotz out with NYI, is it possible Lou takes a look at Leaman? My gut says he at least interviews for it if he can. I'm surprised I haven't seen him linked with Detroit other than a couple speculative blogs

So now we're frowning on a coach's professional development ? Doesn't coaching against teams with the best young players from all over the world add to a coach's experience ? Rand Pecknold will miss two weeks this coming season to coach the USA Jr. National Team at World's. His AC's are from WMU (Ferschweiler)and Dartmouth (Cashman). Are they also neglecting their squads ? C'mon man.... The reason guys like Leaman and Pecknold are tapped for these roles is that they are GREAT coaches.

PC has/or would have missed three straight NCAA tournaments now. The trend since 2019 has not been good and he deserves to be questioned on his decisions.

He has spent now three straight summers focusing on the USA program instead of the PC program.

In the last three seasons, who has he really recruited that has elite talent?

Berard isn't a recruit as he was coming to PC no matter what with his family connections.

Did you know there's a University of Providence & they're looking for a head coach?

Leaman is staying so that miserable *****, ExZlax can be happy.

So Nate is going to miss 3-4 weeks in the middle of the summer when he could be out evaluating potential 2023-2024 recruits....Take that for what his focus is on.

Friars scored 61 goals in conference play…near the bottom of the league.

PC scored 118 goals this season which was the MOST out of all the conference teams. Why do they struggle so much against conference teams?

And now we enter into season 7 of our "Will Nate Leave PC?" summer drama.
