Here are the three "unknowns" for this season... our goalies!
Who will get the start?
Will they be platooned all season?
Will one emerge as the leader?

Minor correction, Doug: Johnny is apparently redshirting last year.

If you sit in the lower bowl, I suggest bringing a dust rag with you on Thursday night. No, really. The construction dust is probably not going to be cleaned by the VBC by the time you get there, and you're going to want to wipe your seat down.

I love the VBC.

Actually, they were mopping yesterday morning during practice, so I'm hopeful. I'll be at practice again this morning, so I'll be able to tell.

Soupy had started school in BC in 2005-06, without any thought about playing US college hockey, while playing in junior B. He stopped after a term and didn't go back to school until coming to UAH. It was almost two years before he had any contact with UAH's Dennis Williams, who recruited him out of Burnaby. Because he had started school, this started his five-year NCAA eligibility clock.

The school is appealing his ineligibility, and for Soupy's sake even more than the team's, I hope that they reconsider.

From what I have seen in the NCAA, the appeal will be denied. I remember an AFA student with problems, I will see how close it was to this situation.

Yes, this stinks for UAH, but moreso, horrid for Campbell.

Hey Doug, you're still too red.

And so it begins.

Which is stupid, since I can think of more than a couple players who left college and then returned later to finish out their eligibility beyond the 5 year mark. A certain Florida State quarterback comes to mind as the most excessive example.

If you are talking about Chris Weinke, he never started college before going to play minor league baseball, therefore, he didn't start his 5-year clock. He was drafted out of HS to play baseball, left after 6 years, and then went to college.

Unfortunately, it looks clear that Campbell's eligibility has run out. Hopefully the NCAA D-1 folks will at least take a look at his situation and consider making a change to its rules for situations like his.

All credit to Soupy: he's still busting his *** in practice.

If I remember correctly, some UAH fans were coming on the Ferris State thread saying they will be listening to me (Ferris State's Radio Guy) this week.

You sure you guys don't have a radio broadcaster?

Looks like UAH has a video feed for this week:

Hey Will, I'm color blind, what do you expect... These test shots are just as they came out of the camera with WB set to Auto and no touch ups. And, I do tend to like them a little warmer than you do... must be my colorblindness again...

See you at the rink Thursday...

Hey, I tested out our new seats at this morning's practice and guess what? One of the seat-backs was not bolted down so I leaned back and kept going until I hit the concrete step behind the seat. Quality work...

As far as I know (not very much), no radio broadcast for UAH.

Dominic:

We don't have radio right now. Steve Moulton does audio for the B2 broadcasts. In some future time when the student/alumni section doesn't think they have to have me there to be loud, I would gladly return to the broadcast booth. I did color for Steve on the radio broadcast we put together for the Fort Wayne regional last year, and it reminded me just how much I enjoy radio, mainly because I get to watch the game without any distractions whatsoever.

Aside from your eyes , I think it may be something specific to your camera. Dieter at the Times is shooting the same rig as you and his comes out even more saturated into the red than yours.

There is some primo shooting from the blank area in front of the new boxes to be had though. May have to start adding a 300mm to my bag of tricks and take advantage of the location.
