UNH Hockey 2023 Off Season Thread Turn and Face the Strange

[Whalers]

The only ones blowing up bud light were the "marketing" people. 25% decrease in sales is a lot of Bengies. I have been saying for years that the AD should have taken the sad UNH hockey story to the Paul College and let them dissect the financial problem. The same will be done at many business schools across the country for Anheuser-Busch.

After the Whistle, I am all for respectful communication and meeting with or talking to whomever at the school. They werent interested in reaching out after I didnt renew. The VERY old adage that someone else will take his place. Unfortunately, I couldnt give the tickets away to people so I knew the "someone" wasnt really a person, just a figment of the Admin's memories from the late 90's and 2000's. That UNH is still able to fill the barn to 50% (maybe), is a testament to the fans desire for better times AND the willingness to support the team. Up to the AD to give us a Coach and a product worth supporting.

I got this email a while back and expressed some of my concerns (team performance, lack of parking, no deposit, ect) and did not get anywhere. My guess is that these are students working the ticket office for work study/summer job and this is part of their tasks. I was unsuccessful in engaging said emailer and after my second response indicating my displeasure have not heard back.

I would say try the meeting but my guess is the person you talk with will have no say.

I'm certain the the meeting will not be with a "decision maker", and this is only a telephone "meeting", essentially an appointment to get a sales pitch.

I also got this email, along with a number of phones calls asking me to renew. I responded to the email with my reasons (and there were several) for being hesitant to renew, I did get a response. They thanked me for reaching out and indicated the are "compiling concerns to bring forward as we want to show support to our season ticket holders". The email also said "they hope to have more information on parking soon". The lines of communication do seem improved this year, which is a good sign, but as far as changes that move the needle on renewal, not so much. I've had season tickets since the inaugural season of the Whit, it will be a sad day if I ultimately choose not to renew.

Rush: Nobody's Hero

I knew he was different in his sexuality
I went to his parties as a straight minority
It never seemed a threat to my masculinity
He only introduced me to a wider reality

Potential double-digit goal scorer, I hope. Center or wing?

Hopefully Hughes from Northeastern or Malone from Cornell. Malone would be a good fit with experience.

It's Martin Lavins from Latvia was committed to St Cloud St and flipped to UNH for this coming year. Soeza's really stock piling the Europeans hopefully a couple pan out.

Yeah..blowing up tons of beer after it was purchased really hurt Bud Light

You don't read the Wall Street Journal much, do you?

Pollyanna here and I ain’t feeling it. Does this require scholarship $? As so many of you note on here, appears to be another bottom 6 based on his numbers to date. Sure hope I am wrong!

Well..think about this for a sec...look at how Sards came about esp in the second half.

Two goals and five assists for a 3rd round NHL pick isn't exactly what I'd trumpet as "coming about/around" FWIW ...

Gotta hand it to the Panthers...Took down the top two teams with the best record the B's and now the Canes.
hey if I'm MS7 I'm using them as an example of what #8 really is capable of...Im being serious here....

Finished 43 points behind Boston...19 behind the Canes.

Now it's up the Bruce Cassidys Vegas Knights to stop 'em
if they get by the Stars which seems likely.

Our UNH NHL connection for this year has come to an end.

Anyone seen a schedule yet?
