The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways.
Please note that you can switch between light and dark modes by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right of the main menu bar.
We are hoping that this new platform will prove to be faster and more reliable. Please feel free to explore its features.
D looked pretty solid out of the gate. Can't wait till they get ramped up.
Im sure Hastings wasn't happy with that W.
RMU goalie is 6'6". Have to work to score. He made some incredible saves.
I'm just convinced attendance
Great longer form interview from Coach Hastings. Wish Butchie would have asked a couple questions on the new guys coming in, especially how well Badgers did in the portal, and how that effects the guys coming back and the tough conversations with guys who may be on the outside looking in. Also...
I think the Weasels are absolutely a rival in the sense that they used to be in the WCHA and bolted because of travel costs after the 1980-81 season, along with Notre Dame and Michigan State and basically became the defacto winners of the CCHA each year and had a much easier path to the NCAAs...
Early '27 means it'll be either the goofs, Weasels or Sparty. That will likely make it a Thursday at Kohl and Saturday at Lambeau.
Bet it will not be Sparty bc Packers last 2 games are at home in Jan & there is a lot of logistics putting a portable rink and making ice between two home pacmers...
Part of me feels starting so early in October seriously hurts attendance competing against football (which Im secretly hoping gets taken off life support this year under Fickell, which would help turn attn to hockey).
But this could be a problem Across the D1 landscape. the smaller achools that...
So I asked TM why they would play an exhibition game vs someone like Western MI after the yr started and not during winter break, and all he really said was they wanted to fill 1 of the 2 open weekends.
Couple thoughts:
1) NCAA needs to either allow more games, or
2) they need to not start...
We need to start ginning up some ideas for the 26/27 season page here....just FYI folks. Don't leave me in a desert outside of Lancaster, PA!
MY first salvo: Mike Hastings, on Goofer suckery 26/27.
Concur, I'm sure the contract excludes them from NIL for helmets/pads. Jerseys are U/A as I remember, but I would imagine, unless a high falutin player that is just so dedicated to CCM/Warrior comes in with a 1st round top 15 NHL draft pick pedigree, they would be more than happy to select from...
I forgot about Orpana as he was supposed to come in next year originally but I saw they bumped him up a yr. Looks like he slated in place of Peapenburg.
So here is my list of official/unofficial roster for 26/27, to this point that it has been announced or from recent postings on their X account:
Goalies: Hauser, Cournoyer, Miceli
Blue Liners: Schulz, Knox, Palodichuk, Phelan, Uhlenkamp
Forwards/Ctrs: Pietela, Zelenov, Idzan, Blanck...
I expect to see a big jump from Tulk (I genuinely feel like he has the nastiest/quickest shot on the team). I also loved how much Brink came on as a frosh at the back end of last year and want to see him make a big jump as well. And not that I disliked Monty, but he disappeared in the 2nd half...
