    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    Just checking in on my UMaine-iacs friends during quiet time in the offseason ... not baiting and not trolling, promise ... can anyone explain to me what's going on with the US Senatorial race, and what the folks in and around the Downeast think about the two leading candidates? Seems like a...

    In other UNH related news ... former UNH defenseman Kevin Dean was let go by the Vancouver Canucks, as he was an assistant under HC Adam Foote, who was shown the door after one disappointing season. Dean was a key contributor during the UNH turnaround in the late '80's/early '90's and enjoyed a...

    Looks like Makar is out for Game One tonight, but Malinski (sp?) might be back. So we wait to see if Gagne dresses for Game One of the WCF, we'll see shortly ...

    Therein lies the rub, as The Bard might say. The next AD is unlikely to be old school paisan like the old Scarano/Umile combo that set Souza up to begin with, not will s/he be a novice cupcake pushover with no experience with the game like the current outgoing AD. Charm Offensive 2.0 won't be...

    More likely they're being rested - especially "senior citizen" Burns - but having Gagne out there to round out practices isn't the worst thing, either ...

    Good for him. Avs had 8 defensemen on their playoffs roster, one was already down, and supposedly Makar is day-to-day for the West Conference Finals, so even if he sits out a game or two, the Avs still have 6 "healthy" d-men, and now Gagne is the 9th rostered D-man. It's possible he could...

    Mark Mowers, circa 1997, at The Whitt, I believe as part of the since-defunct Governors' Cup. Almost 30 years ago. Nasty hit from behind, IIRC Guite got a match penalty, which made no difference as UNH was already pounding UMaine. Prime "Champions of November" era Wildcats firewagon hockey...

    LOL ... I suspect that reference may have wooshed over many younger posters' heads. Wasn't that long ago his would-be "dad" was an assistant at UMaine IIRC?

    UNH Hockey Off Season Thread 2026

    OK so I was bored, and with the UNH thread stuck in a holding pattern, I asked a popular AI site what's gonna happen with the UNH AD search ... If UNH follows typical collegiate hiring patterns, internal athletic administrators or individuals with strong regional ties could potentially be...

    Me too, Felgie. And it's a shame, it didn't always used to be this way ... for me, maybe it's due in small part to being present at the original Jackson's Landing rink skating with our then 6 year old daughter the night before its roof collapsed ('96), which was when we were living in Dover...

    Location and visibility, norbie. Think of it this way, and I'll let Snives speak to the core mapping project and its logistics ... if we've seen past trends over the last two plus generations, it's been the withering of downtown businesses in the face of more available alternatives on the...
