Could be a bridge guy with awesome experience....
Since Fortney’s great goal, I think that there were a few very good moments followed by not so great moments when we beat Cornell in Albany at the 2010 regionals before getting embarrassed by RIT, beat Miami in Manchvegas at the 2011 regionals before getting umiliated by NICC, beat DU (the university) in Manchvegas again at the 2013 regionals before gettin bazined by UML, and beat PC at da Garden in the Hockey East semi’s in 2015 before getting bazined once again by UML. Wow, it has been only eleven years but seems like ancient history, with apologies to Prof Allen Linden.Probably the last "great" moment in UNH hockey history
Maybe a Helsten 2.0?

That happened on the Merrimack PA and I remember looking at the bench and seeing DU have a little laugh with one of his assistants about it. Of course given how the last 8 years have gone I wish the assistant coach he was laughing with was someone other than who it was...I've heard it pronounced U Meal
Thanks again for the updates, CHC!
Not surprised to hear Kennedy and Hyles both confirmed to matriculate this fall. Looking forward to seeing what they can do for the ‘Cats!
Incoming class is already at 6, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Henriquez joins as well to make 7. Very curious to see how may we grab in the portal (and likewise how many we lose).

I was hearing on social media other teams fans were also clamoring for him. At 6’4” and with his save % / record from last year, I imagine he will get a fair amount of interest across Div 1.
I agree though he looks like a solid fit for UNH!
We can always ask the question of the soon to be unemployed AD
Speaking a bit more of the 603 Challenge, I haven’t seen one video of Souza asking for donations… theres at least one main one of Rich speaking for the Athletics department.
Looking at the board now, hockey has raised a little over $40K with a goal of $47K by the end of today. If they reach this, a “Generous group of UNH hockey alumni and supporters” will tack on $134K.
Hopefully they can get there! Looking at other athletics though, I’m a bit surprised to see hockey is not at the top of donations across athletics. Currently they are behind:
Football ($192K)
Skiing ($106K)
Swimming/Diving ($61K)
Perhaps just another sign of how far things have fallen recently…
Hopefully if they don’t reach their goal it isn’t another source of complaints from MS7. Again I haven’t seen any advocacy for him regarding this. I’ve seen a few short videos of a few players advertising the challenge.
Skiing = winners!

'Just get to the game'. After watching Wisco dismantle heavily favored NoDak team that had a very bad outing at the Frozen Four thats all I could think of. Get to the game and you never know what is going to happen. Told a NoDak fan that was sitting in our row how sorry I was that they lost and she said "we were here". Yup. 54 other teams weren't.
Number 1 and number 2 out. Walking in the arena told Mr HR that Wisco would win it..what a feat for them. Who knows whats gonna happen Saturday for the biggest prize in 'Cawlidge Hawkey' but if you don't get there...you can't dance. Good luck Badgers! Love your mascot!!!
Beating a very good Denver team will take a huge effort..some puck luck. But who knows! Not the first time a lower seed won it thinking back to the Yale and Union wins of '13 and '14.
With the climate being what it is do I think UNH has the chance to be another one of these longshots? You never know. Just get to the game. You gotta do that first.
Ps awesome seeing and chatting with board members who made the trek. Quite a few UNH jerseys in the crowd.

Any indication of whether they were voluntary, forced, or suggested departures?

Seriously? Did you hear this from the players directly?
Sounds like mostly voluntary? Conversations about playing time I believe was a big factor for most. And yes I heard from them directly
There is no great loss on the list. The combined +/- for the group is -23 with a total of 12 points

Sounds like addition by subtraction.
