UNH Hockey 2023 Off Season Thread Turn and Face the Strange

[Scott]

I'll stand for no ripping on the prestigious Latvian Ice Hockey Federation, currently ranked #10 in the world.

IIHF - World Ranking

Let's say your coach spent time on the IIHF #18 ranked team ... those crafty Latvians would look like STUDS!!

I say we try to tap into the Mexican Ice Hockey Federation. Just imagine UNH hockey games on Mexican television!!! :-)

GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!!!!

Whadda bout the Latvian pipeline?

It advanced him right out of skates,,,lol. My problem with the coach is since August 1st he's picked up a local kid that didn't even average a point a game in one of the weakest jr leages in New England. Watcher is right they have no pipeline anywhere and changes are needed.

What an ingrate. Doesn't he remember how much UNH did to advance his older brother's career over four seasons???

Well that didn't take long committed to BU.

Maybe a large vat of chowdah perched on a bonfire in the foyer adjacent to the ticket windows would have landed him?

Perfect!!! We should have thought of this sooner..not too late! Who doesn't love a good hot cup o chowda. Make it like Captain Parkers that ought to
get future recruits from MA who would have normally committed to BU, BC, NU or even Hahvard.

[Snively65]

Welp. Maybe if the Whitt was up to par with the competition they'd have landed him. Exhibit A...

Put it on the wish list! Jumbotrons are old news...

Once again, the rich get richer.......

Sigh...well, not surprised. Still...would be awesome to have a player like this join us. But hey, we have a Fitzgerald I mean...!

This is great news for HE, and by proxy, for UNH. Having Celebrini and Eiserman go 1/2 in the draft (and Hagens 3 in 2025) will raise the profile of the league in its competition with Big 10/NCHC.

So you're telling me there's a (second) chance...

[Snively65]

Agree, HE has a large middle class with past NCAA champs PC/U.Mass, climbing U.Conn (just for you Chuck), and NU always solid UML, before you even get to the BC/BU perennials. But at least you've started to crawl. We're a 6 months away from starting that crawl, so you've got a head start.

No mention of UVM? Or, Merrimack, who have had a dynamic head coach the past few years?

[NCAA watcher]

Once in a while ? Beg to differ, lol. I have faith in the Ben-ster but its never an easy task crawling your way back to the upper echelon. Those other teams always seem to make it tuff.
