From Ken Schott's blog, Welsh was given the ECAC Rookie of the Week Award for this past weekend

I loved the way the team looked over the weekend. The balanced and abundant scoring and a defense that started to answer some of the questions left after the '09 senior departures was very encouraging. I honestly think the talent level on this team is the best ever. The danger is in reading too much into the weekend's success but I don't think the coaching staff is likely to let that happen, especially with a quality opponent coming up this weekend.

The frosh looked awesome, including Welsh, Forgaard, and Coburn. Little (?) Simpson looks like he has a real nose for the puck and some skills to go with it and White looks like he could be a force. I'm trying to temper my enthusiasm going forward but have to admit its difficult.

It looks like some more scoring punch is on the way next season too, 2010 recruit Daniel Carr is tied for the lead in scoring in the AJHL, with 28 pts in 13 games.

The coaching staff is doing a phenomenal job IMO in upgrading the offense as we've seen the past few seasons.

I'm wondering if we'll see Kinkaid in action this weekend and also the mystery man Ekstrom?

Like what I'm hearing about this past weekend . I can't wait to see this year's team in person...gotta get through the kids soccer season first. I've always been leary of preseason rankings and those coming from INCH, but being placed just above Michigan State? Mind boggling...not sure if I can fathom it after all these years . God, I hope this season is going to be as fun as we all hope! GoooooooooU!

I'm liking that the official blog seems to be uploading video all the goals from the games this year. At least the home ones.

Well, not all of us. It's certainly the most entertaining non-hockey-related thread I've ever read, however.

Unionathletics.com has been revamped. Not sure if I like the new site layout, the colors are better, but the old site seemed simpler.
