Re: Declaring Our Independence: UAH 2010-11, Part the First

For UAH and CHA fans... Here is a link to a random bunch of my photos on my site that I use for linking photos to the web. You'll find some from as far back as the Wayne State days up to some from this season... also a few shots of my grandson, JD Cousart #17, so you'll know who you're looking at and a few other random shots... even the UAH girls softball team shot of their league championship win. Enjoy...

I'm working on setting up a web server with some low-res photos (fit for looking at on monitors, too low for good printing) for fans and parents to look through. Time is my biggest problem of course...

Why aren't you using Flickr for this, or if not them, something like Zenfolio?

I've added a few additional scans to the scans of the 1983, 1984, and 1985 National Collegiate Club Hockey Championship program covers.

I have a Flickr account but I can send something to this "parking" site much faster than I can upload and link to Flickr... and I control this site.

Last D-1 games for Burkholder, Baxter, Ruffini, Koudys, Fairbanks, Bruni in Grand Rapids, MI this weekend.

Hopefully the Chargers can play well on the road against another strong opponent. Ferris State coming off an impressive sweep at Alaska (no other NCAA team has done that in the last 3 years).

Everybody healthy?

As far as I know, everyone's healthy.

Good first period from the guys last night, and then not for the other two. 5GA on 31SOG just won't cut it. Neither will allowing two SHG.

Losing Baxter will hurt. He's really come into his own this year. He did play in juniors, but Jim is the age of the average college student, having enrolled at 18.

Losing Burkholder hurts on- and off-ice. Sadly, Ryan was never the same after his shoulder injury the first weekend against Ferris. I never heard him use that as an excuse.

Ruffini and Bruni ... both really good guys, but they've been inconsistent this year, unfortunately. I really thought that Ruffles would be a consistent scorer this year, and it just didn't happen.

Koudys has played well this year, working his way back into the lineup after not playing much last year.

Lastly, Fairbanks. Chris knows what he is and isn't. I don't see him taking many shifts off. He told me once at a post-game meal that he knows that he's not playing hockey at the next level, but he's worked hard and had fun. I talk more with Chris than the other guys, and I know that he speaks for all of them when he expresses his frustration with the results this year.

Losing senior experience is never easy, and having a two-man junior class compounds that. If there's a good thing amidst all the frustration, it's that the freshmen got a lot of ice time this year. The game should slow down for them next year. What will also help is a full offseason of cohesion with the coaching. Bringing in assistants in very late meant that they were all feeling each other out while working in new players.

In other news, there's a feature about UAH in USCHO Extra, but unfortunately logging in with my account doesn't let me access it. Grrrr.

Oddly enough, I was able to read it without needing Extra: http://www.uscho.com/2011/02/15/road...see-positives/

If you can't see it, here's some quick bullet points. There were many quotes from Luongo and Burkholder, and there didn't seem to be anything UAH followers didn't already know.

* Coach Luongo felt tough schedule strengthened players' resolve.
* Freshmen goaltenders showed signs of promise.
* Baxter and Easton stepped up with upperclassmen leadership.
* Luongo sees tough, independent schedule as selling point in recruiting.
* Waiting on what happens with Penn State.
