The Beanpot is always a good time. We have gone the last 4 years and will be there Monday. The environment is great and fun to watch when you have no stake in who wins.Some rambling thoughts...
Too bad NU had to lose in a shoot out last night...echoing the hockey pundits. Maybe another 5 min OT and then shootout for big events like the Beanpot. But I suppose that would mess up the works. My money's on the Eagles for the 'Pot.
Any word on Marty? Imagine MS7 will mention his status at his presser tomorrow...
Heart goes out to the family friends and teammates of those 3 skaters lost from a car accident on the way to practice yesterday. Rest in Power boys...
I imagine he will be out for a bit. I haven’t heard yet the severity but potentially season ending unfortunately

I’m curious who your insiders are? I’m sure you’d be happy to share since you’re always asking us to name drop ours? Would be pretty hypocritical if you didn’t
Be careful, you start talking about former players and you will get a nickname from Porta.
I talked to Colin MacDonald at Libbys Saturday. From what he said Austin Block, Kyle Smith, Mike Robinson, Eric McAdams, Cam Gendron, Nikolai Jensen played in the game.

Add Charlie Kelleher to the list was fortunate to chat with him...said aTyK wished he could be there. Alas #27 couldn't make it..

Go 'cats!
Any players from the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, early 2000s?

I spoke with Cam and he was joking about how out of shape he was skating against the grads from the 80s and 90s

Much to my surprise, Colin Hemingway was there alongside Royal and Cavecchi from the 90s
I believe Greg Rota was there
While not hockey related, it appears UNH is breaking ground on a new Ocean Science building ($10M) funded through external grants from NOAA and the National Institute for Standards and Technology. There will also be space to accommodate more industry partners looking to collaborate with UNH on this work.
More external partners means more money for the school, and state in general. Never a bad thing - maybe some of it will eventually bleed over to hockey!
Building is set to open in Fall 2027.

UNH Breaks Ground on Ocean Mapping Center of Excellence
The University of New Hampshire has broken ground on a new 70,500-square foot building that will house the Center of Excellence for Operational Ocean and Great Lakes Mapping, a state-of-the-art research, office, and instructional space.
I heard this today. IT is an interesting additional while 3 older buildings are set to close in the fall.While not hockey related, it appears UNH is breaking ground on a new Ocean Science building ($10M) funded through external grants from NOAA and the National Institute for Standards and Technology.

So they decided on 3? I read the initial report they were proposing 6, but I wasn’t sure if that was set in stone or not. I wonder if they found buyers for any of them, but perhaps not if they are older and in need of significant renovations and/or upgrades…
That is what I remember but who knows. Either way it is sad that they can't keep buildings open. I doubt they will sell them but I wonder what the cost is to maintain versus use. The biggest problem is the president is the fundraiser for UNH but there is no vision on where to go.
I still think they missed the mark with the NE Center especially with Paul School opening.
Back to hockey, PC is #7 in the poll and #1 in HEA. Something I missed being disconnected with a team in the basement. Is this the upset with the short weekend or the expected blow out? How do the lines get shuffled with Lavin's most likely out? I would load up the front line with Cy, Morgan, and Ringer but see Oliver sliding back on Cy's line

The last I saw the 3 being moth balled are Nesmith, Morrill and Taylor. They are all in need of up grades, it is unfortunate they are all at the intersection of Main Street and College Road (essentially across the street from the Whitt). Going to need to spend some money keeping them looking acceptable even if not populated. This is what happens when enrollment shifts (to different majors) and shrinks.
None of these buildings has the right foot print to be refurbished into an Ocean Mapping building. Additionally they aren't putting the new Ocean Mapping near the Ocean Engineering building where Ocean Mapping currently has space (other side of the tracks from Morse). I am guessing they have plans for regular tractor trailer visits and that is why this expansion is out closer to RTE 4, instead of in the traffic mess of campus.
I knew you had mentioned this earlier but was too lazy to go back and find the post. It is how the campus has evolved with the inner buildings getting the money and the outskirts being abandoned. I do know Nesmith got a small reno 10 years ago but that's a lip stick on a pig type. Same with NH Hall. They have spent millions on a building that probably should have been demolished and redone.

All these building were built in first decade (ish) UNH was in Durham making them all at least 120 year old. They were all originally part of the Ag program. Over the years the Ag program has grown and spread out away from central campus. Some of the land UNH has owned for a very long time and other pieces were "gifted" to the University by farming families. The Kingman Farm in Madbury is 360 acres and the Demeritt farm in Lee 278+ acres are both about the same size as central campus ~300 acres. (These 2 are particularly beautiful farms that ultimately have remained open space by the foresight of these families, Demeritt occupies most of one side of the Lee Hook Road, between the road and the Lampre River.) It has just made sense to have the buildings/offices/labs next to the land where the research is being conducted.
Unfortunately much of that movement away from campus was done after the 1960's eye sore construction era (Horton, McConnell, Stoke). There is probably argument to be made that instead of turning a parking lot into Rudman Hall or Building Gregg Hall on the other side of the train tracks from main campus or The new Paul School building being across from Stoke that maybe these older buildings should have been renovated or torn down and rebuilt. The University does extensive master planning for buildings and it would seem that with these being shuttered there needs to be a conversation around why this was missed along the way. I will note much of the new construction in Durham has had spaces that just don't fit in the space the these 3 occupy, Gregg, Ocean Engineering and (new)Ocean Mapping all contain high bay space for experiments.

I would like to see Gagnon centering Cy and Winters. He showed some flashes early in the season that he can maybe recreate with the ice opening up a little from the speed of winters and playmaking of Cy.
It does feel like a trap game where they could surprise a forward-looking Prov team (who has a loss to UAA in January) but I don't suspect it will be a favorable result for the 'Cats.
