UNH- How Far West Do We Go?
1000% Flag. Shrinking the Whittemore Center ice from 200×100 to 200×90 erased UNH’s old home‑ice advantage because the rink now plays like every other NCAA sheet, eliminating the extra space that once threw visiting teams off and favored UNH’s speed‑driven style. I am pretty sure the move was...- Jellsville USA

UNH- How Far West Do We Go?
The deadline for ST renewals at the current price is 3/21. I am certain those numbers will have an impact on decisions moving forward. My guess would be if they start to average below 50% of capacity the losses could start to add up quickly. They may be getting close to that threshold now, hence...- Jellsville USA

UNH- How Far West Do We Go?
Just floating an interesting idea out into the UNH fan forum- Imagine Jim Tortorella is ready to step aside, and Mike Souza wants to redirect his energy into the areas where he has the greatest impact. In that scenario, transitioning Souza into the Director of Operations role becomes a natural...- Jellsville USA

Had to share this. A bit like Collin Hemingway's goal in 2006. although CH did it between the legs in live action vs 1-1. https://x.com/barstoolsports/status/2033660039647424752?s=20- Jellsville USA

UNH- How Far West Do We Go?
If the bar is really that low, then you could also argue the opposite of what McMahon is saying: a tough situation can be a massive opportunity. Programs that look “insurmountable” from the outside are exactly the kinds of jobs where a hungry, ambitious coach can make their name. Turning around...- Jellsville USA

UNH- How Far West Do We Go?
I found this very interesting... Chuck may actually be onto something. I get that the sports media shouldn't be negative towards coaches or players but advocating for losing is irresponsible. I was actually considering signing up for the pay version of his newsletter/podcast. Not so much. I did...- Jellsville USA

UNH- How Far West Do We Go?
I get what you’re saying about institutional support, but there’s a piece of this conversation that often gets overlooked: UNH has to see losing hockey as a problem, because the financial structure of the Whittemore Center forces them to. The Whitt is enormously expensive to operate. The only...- Jellsville USA

UNH- How Far West Do We Go?
Hi Mike, Thank you again for taking the time to respond. I respect your commitment to your players, staff, and family. My note wasn’t meant to overlook the realities of your contract—it was meant to express, directly and honestly, the concerns many longtime supporters have about the direction...- Jellsville USA

UNH- How Far West Do We Go?
Dear Mike, I want to start by thanking you for everything you have given to the University of New Hampshire hockey program over the years. Your commitment, work ethic, and loyalty to the program have been clear, and there is no question that you care deeply about UNH hockey and the players who...- Jellsville USA

UNH- How Far West Do We Go?
100%! Thanks for sharing, JB. I wonder if MS7 fears losing kids to the portal if he is too hard on them. Of course, the coach has to model that hard work philosophy by working hard, late, and simply showing up for all UNH events. Captured loosely in the classic film "Miracle"...- Jellsville USA

UNH- How Far West Do We Go?
Game Day! Northeastern essentially started UNH's downfall with a sweep in January (the boys were 11-8 at the time). From that series we went 0-6-1. Conversely, however, NE proceeded to go on an 0-5-1 stretch. Both teams have had similar struggles in the second half (NE with no home ice and UNH...- Jellsville USA

UNH- How Far West Do We Go?
What struck me the most in the game last night (that, by the way, was quite winnable until the non-call on Ring) was when the coaches messed up getting KC off the ice to at least have a shot at getting it to OT. Then shortly after a gift from the Ref's (because they knew they handed the game to...- Jellsville USA
