    It’s been forever. What should expectations be for this season? Is this a “Final Four or bust” season or a “let’s make the tourney” season?

      Final four is hard to bank on every year with how competitive Division III hockey has become. Certainly competing for a NEHC title and giving yourself a shot to compete in the NCAAs I believe is a standard for this program.

      With over 50 percent of the roster as new players this year and nearly 75 percent of the roster turning over from the last "real" season, tough to predict what could happen.

      One thing is for sure, I have full confidence in Coach Ellsworth to prepare the team and get them ready to be successful. He's more than proven that in his three years to date. Can't wait for Oct. 30!

            In my eyes, an informed NU hockey fan should view it this way: NEHC championship = GREAT season, NCAA win = excellent season, Final Four = fantastic season, Natl. Champs = dream come true.

            It's hard to win in college athletics, period. Winning a conference title is a great season, no matter who, no matter where. I know you agree, Mr. Pastime.

                    I most certainly do. The “Final Four or bust” was slightly tongue in cheek. About two years removed from a full season of hockey I have no clue what goals and expectations are this season. Furthermore, I appreciate the roster updates, but I don’t really know what it means to get a kid from *insert junior league here*.

                    I do know that I have a lot of faith in Coach Ellsworth to continue to attract too talent and to develop the talent he already has.

                      Curry won 2-1 in OT 12 seconds in. 3x3 OT.

                        Norwich is a very solid defensive team. Still working together to make it click on offense. Curry was a talented team who looks like they have improved a ton in recruiting. Looks like we are in for a fun year. Go Norwich!

                          Looking at Neutral Zone, Norwich has actually had considerably stronger recruitment over the last couple years than Curry. That's just "on paper" of course.

                              I watched starting from the 2nd period on and it was a pretty close game. Both teams had chances to score throughout and shots were close. Curry has built up a strong/hard-working program over the last decade or so under previous head coach TJ Manastersky. He left to go take an assistant job at D1 Union this summer.

                              I'd say Norwich had more grade-A scoring chances, but couldn't put multiple past the goalie. I like the team speed and depth for Norwich. There may not be any Downs/Chicoine/Brassard etc. high-end scorers, but there are a lot of guys that can hurt you on any shot.

                              Probably the biggest blue line Norwich has had since the 2010 championship team. They all can skate pretty well too.

                              Looking forward to Saturday against another strong CCC program in Salve Regina. Should be a good test. Hoping for a packed house for opening night and the third sock toss event! For those that are coming, please bring new or unused socks to the game to throw out on the ice after Norwich scores its first goal!

                              Every sock thrown out onto the ice in addition to Darn Tough's generous donation will be donated back to local Central Vermont organizations to help keep Vermonters warm this winter!
