Ohio State Buckeyes 2023-24 The Muzzinator Gonna Muzzinate!!

[Hockeybuckeye]

I'm going to start this now since last season is behind us and we Buckeyes can hardly wait for the new season.
I was at our rink today watching our hockey camps and had the opportunity to interact with Coach Muzerall and Elander along with others and some of our players. I picked up some interesting tidbits, some I'll mention now, others later.
One of them is the capacity of our new arena has yet to be decided.
One of the other is the opinion is this may well be our most potent roster yet in the upcoming season. If true we may quickly regain the number one national ranking and hold onto it again throughout the season. Others here on forum will challenge that assumption but we shall see, won't we?
In the recruiting world the Muzzinator's sphere of influence has spread nationally and internationally and things are in the works to make it even more so! If any program thinking they have a lock on top talent in their region, that will be changing.

What's to argue...The yuckeyes added the top two players from bc's roster...A top 4 defenseman from the fighting nurses...Quinnipiac's leading scorer and Penn State's leading scorer plus the landcow's top goal scorer. No one else even comes close to addiing that kind of veteran talent to an already talented roster. Heck, I'm not sure the season should even be played. Might as well just give the trophy to the yuckeyes.

I guess they need to hope they're at least one goal better than last year.

I noticed this write-up about the incoming recruits at Ohio State. You certainly have a lot of firepower up front.

Well played. The heartache has subsided enough now that I can take it. Unlike Timothy I don't do thinner! LOL!

Our youth and high school elite camps are currently happening and higher level camps will be in July.
The Muzzinator just had an Ohio State camp in Minnesota which I believe went very well in looking over regional talent.
You may start seeing Ohio State girls hockey camps appearing all over the country, there are no boundaries in her recruiting skills.

As Robertearle inferred, I feel she's going all out for offense as she's determined to never again lose 1-0

WI heads to The Dump @ Hayes Dr sponsored by Andy's Asbestos Abatement LLC on 11/17 and 11/18. That will be you first chance to get the #1 spot. After last season my perspective on being ranked uber high all season is completely different.

Yes, it's mostly irrelevant except for two things, pride and the best seeding come tournament time.
When we have our new barn we will indeed be applying to host the WHCA Final Four, NCAA regionals and Frozen Fours.

Diss our barn if you want, It will be poster in our locker room for the extra motivation! It's been screenshot to show coach today. She'll just LOVE you all that more Timothy! (Wink)

Very true and very funny

Two goals better, for the win.

Here's another tidbit, there will be charged admission to our games this coming season. I don't believe the cost of a ticket has been set yet.

Haha, don't be trying to jinx us! If last season showed us fans anything, it's that games are not won on paper. I hated getting to the final game, then getting shut out 1-0 (only time this team was shut out all season), but that disappointing ending will motivate this program. Hopefully our team comes out of the locker room ****ed off about that every game. Went to one of our camps earlier today. As Hockeybuckeye already mentioned this, after being free for years, OSU Women's Hockey will be selling tickets for games now. Not sure what the price will be, but one of the reasons for tickets was seeing so many want to come to games, but were turned away due to the OSU Ice Rink reaching capacity. Hockeybuckeye mentioned this earlier, but Gene Smith and the athletic department have not decided on a capacity for the new arena. I sincerely hope they take into consideration all the times people were turned away this past season and decided on a capacity where that is unlikely to happen. My magic number would be something similar to Ridder (somewhere in the 3K range). Have some foresight and do it right so that we can host the WCHA Final FaceOff, Frozen Four, and possibly the IIHF Women's World Championship. Anything less than 3,000 and all three of those are out the window. That is all I have for now, at least until I read some more posts.
