INCH ranked Troy Grosenick as the 8th best incoming goalie in this year's frosh group. The class overall was not in their top 15. http://insidecollegehockey.com/7Arch...sgoal_1011.htm

Our depth at forward this year is nothing short of spectacular when guys like Kyle Bodie and Sullivan aren't regulars. Very excited to see how the boys do up north this weekend!

been looking forward to this trip ever since it was announced. This is a good opportunity for the team, and here's hoping they take advantage of it. any word on media for the games? I haven't gone to the UAF site yet, but I'm sure one of you die-hards know how to at least hear the game.
You have to like how things have started out, but this is a good test to see how this team should skate this year.

GooooooU!

Here's a link to the local newspaper's article on last night's game. It sounds like Union acquitted itself well in a tightly contested game. Too bad they couldn't come out with at least a tie, but the opposition was definitely a big upgrade from last weekend. Let's hope for a better result tonight. Go U!

I saw most of the first two periods, before I crashed, and from what I saw this was a very even hockey game. The boys definitely had plenty of chances to grab a win, but UAFs goaltender came up big several times. Bodie made a bad freshman mistake trying to pass the puck through the slot on UAFs first goal, which was a turning point of sorts as it tied up the game. This was compounded by U missing on several grade A chances in the 2nd period, especially on 2 PPs. Not being able to get the lead back would've helped a lot against a team like the Nanooks. UAF is a very nice team. They have a lot of speed and play strong defense, to go along with excellent goaltending. They were as good as advertised. What I saw was very entertaining hockey, as there was a lot of good flow back & forth by both teams and not a lot of clutch & grab.

Overall, I thought the team looked good, though they needed to bury more of their chances. Kinkaid looked sharp and had no chance on the goal I saw and sounds the same on the game-winner. Like the line of Prez-Zajac-W. Simpson, they were buzzing a lot but just couldn't hit the twine. Carr, Jooris & Ingoldsby looked good for the frosh. Bodie definitely has great vision and makes some pretty plays, but needs to learn what he can and cannot get away with at this level.

Hopefully a little more finish tonight will get a W. This loss could be a tough one down the line for making NCAAs, as U does not play many TUC teams out of conference. They could end up playing only one more TUC team OOC, which is too bad because this was a winnable game.

I agree with ADK11. I was at the game and left impressed with Union. Nice team, well coached, good system. The game was very entertaining. Pretty fast paced, up and down action, with few penalties. Like I said in the other thread, an odd bounce here or there, and the game goes in a different direction. As much as Union needed to bury chances, so did the Nooks. I thought we were a little faster, but otherwise pretty evenly matched. Great game and good luck to Union the rest of their season!

Union Dutchmen represented well. Good luck to your team. Especially tonight.

I posted a few photos on the Brice thread, but HERE are a few more. Not great quality but maybe they can give you a sense of being there.

BTW. The trip up to Alaska is usually not that much of an killer. But after a few days in a hotel, the long trip back east, and classroom pressures, the accumuated impact is more real. Be concerned about next weekends series if you have one. But don't feel too sorry for them, our guys do it six or seven times a year. They're young, they can handle it.

And for us locals, the game is being broadcast on WVKZ-AM 1240. It's amazing the amount of delay there is between Teamline and the radio. I'm in the den listening on the computer, and spouse is in the living room listening on the radio.

Was wishing for more than a split but it's still a good weekend when you can go across the continent and pick up a win. Looking to keep the momentum up next weekend against RIT and Niagara, Lets go U!

Re: Union College Dutchmen Hockey 2010-11: There's one way and that's to Atlantic Cit

It was tough to get a real feel for the games, but all in all I guess it was a decent weekend's result. Two wins would have been nice but two losses would have been a bitter pill to swallow after all that time and travel. Sounds like we just held on last night and that KK came up big in the final period when U was outshot 18-2 after giving up a 3 goal lead. I imagine the boys may have been running on fumes by the end of the game what with the travel and all. Next weekend at home with Niagara and RIT should be an entertaining weekend. Let's hope U can keep the good efforts coming. I'll be interested to see if Corey gets a start, perhaps against Niagara, Friday night.
