UNH Hockey Off Season Thread 2026

Seems a weird change for a player that seemed to be coming on for UNH down the stretch. It is hard to look good on a bad team and still he seemed to be winning on the wall and getting the puck to the net. It's not like he didn't have playing time. Pushed? Writing on the wall?

This departure is all about role. While I don't think Robert Morris is the hotbed of hockey if he was promised something and a coach follows through it could be better in the long run for the player.

I wonder if this means Souza looks to get one more?

Or perhaps the situation arose where Souza picked up more guys than initially anticipated, and he had a tough conversation with Walsh that he likely wasnt going to get much playing time, or any at all.

I wish him all the best. He is a bigger forward at 6’4”. I could see an AHA team taking a flyer on him, or perhaps a move down to DIII.

Go home to Andover and play at Plymouth State...

EDIT: Oops, I see Norbert had the inside on this. Good get for coach Russell.

Will have to go up and watch him play! Nice little arena and they have had a winning tradition. Ive mentioned the time I went to a game and saw Peter Laviolette on the ice...

My first couple of years at Plymouth were when Laviolette played. Was a force in front of the net and helped lead the team to relevance as a tournament qualifier for D3. He's still kicking around the ECHL, think he's one of the few Plymouth grads that "went pro." Oh yeah... and his dad taking time to come view primetime matchups against.... D3 Salem State
 
FWIW, over the past 10 years nobody has done more for UNH hockey than Mike Lowry. His blog is the heartbeat of UNH hockey, particularly since NOBODY in the athletic department is willing to promote the team.

Thank you Mike Lowry.
