    Portal signings for Lowell have been underwhelming on the offensive side so far and other than goalie Pavicich, no help on the D line either. Was hoping we'd look to bolster our roster, but disappointing in my view thus far. Northeastern and Maine doing a great job adding offense. No clue what Norm's thinking other his interest in a 25 yo player from HC. Yikes indeed!!!!
    There may be room to add a couple more forwards from the portal. They currently have 9 forwards returning, Peterson will make 10. They have to bring in '02 Jonathan Horn. I believe they'll also bring in Jaiden Moriello, Shawn O'Donnell, Girts Silkalns and Jak Vaarwerk, so that makes 15 forwards.

    Any updates on the future plans of Jake Stella and Filip Fornaa Svensson? They are both 24 years old.

    I don't believe there's any room to add to the defense. If nothing changes, they currently have 7 players returning. They have to bring in '02 recruits, Ben Brunette and Sean Kilcullen. I think they will also bring in Adam Cardona, so that makes 10 defensemen on the roster.

        The way Fornaa-Svensson spoke in this senior tribute video, it sounds like he is coming back. https://twitter.com/riverhawkhockey/...FOeYdtq3w-44SQ

        • In his first shift of his first NHL game, Lucas Condotta scored his first NHL goal against the Bruins last night. Not really surprised, as Condotta has scored against Swayman before. He got his 2nd career collegiate goal against Swayman up in Orono in November of 2018 (credit to Russ Bedel on the research of that one last night).

                • Norm Bazin was hired as the 6th head coach in Lowell hockey history 12 years ago today. I'd say that was a good choice.

                      That’s a fantastic pickup for Lowell.

                        Don't know enough about him to know what type of player we're getting. 101 games played, 17-19-36.

                          I watched some Big10 games, including the Michigan vs. Harvard games, Penn State and Minnesota games, and the slaughterhouse regional game against Colgate. Very good skater and quick. Will be noticeable. I would say he is like a Conner Wilson type, but a better skater than Conner. Hope that helps.

                            Grano will be a 25 year old grad student next year.

                            can provide penalty kill, clean up some loose rebounds around the net. Decent skater.

                            may have potential to increase point production from 10 to 15-20 if received more playing time.

                            he was not a regular his first 3 years with all the forward talent at Michigan. Found a role this year. Disciplined role player.
