    UMASS-NEWMASS 2025-2026

    So, after last night's results and if Dartmouth loses in the ECAC tourney, the ECAC will have 4 teams in the NCAAs and HE might only have one or two. SOS for Q-39, Cornell 41, Dartmouth 55. If UMASS loses today with a SOS of 29, 21 wins AND finishing 2nd in HE, they will miss the NCAAs...

    UMASS-NEWMASS 2025-2026

    While I usually like objective measures, I also look at fairness and common sense when deciding whether it is a good measure. Right now the NPI is questionable. The reason it makes me question the usefulness is that it is possible that Hockey East only gets one team in the NCAAs, while ECAC has...

    UMASS-NEWMASS 2025-2026

    Well, well, well....so you say there is still a chance! Not sure what to make of last night's games. BC, BU and UCONN decide to self-destruct while UMASS continues its hot streak. Does this mean that HE is loaded with lots of good teams or just mediocre ones (except for Providence). UMASS needs...

    UMASS-NEWMASS 2025-2026

    While no system is perfect, the system used needs to be seen as fair and understandable. A win away and OT win at home against a higher ranked opponent should move the needle a bit. In the wins against UCONN, no movement. Yesterday UMASS beats BC at home and they jump two spots. Strange.

    UMASS-NEWMASS 2025-2026

    I think this is a good article with some food for thought. I thought a win at UCONN and a OT win in Amherst would have really helped UMASS' NPI since UCONN was rated much higher. Instead nothing really changed. It seems like wins don't move a team so much but a loss is devastating...

    I've always hated the strobe effect after goals and home runs. I'm glad the HE did something about it. If it had gone the other way against UMASS, I would have been pissed as well.

    BOSTON COLLEGE 2025 - 2026

    Many schools will be facing this dilemma. Northeast schools in particular as well as schools that have mediocre football programs. Even lower tier schools in the Big 10 and SEC are having attendance problems. Students and alumni really only want to go to games that their school wins...

    What good are a bunch of 6'5" hockey players who cannot put the puck in the net? Losing 1-0 to UNH should be an embarrassment to these player. Hrabel cannot pitch a shutout every night! Now they must win their last five games to have any shot at the NCAAs. Carvey needs to recruit some goal scorers.

    OK, good night last night. Didn't play but we nt from 21 to 19 in the NPI. Not playing again tonight...hope to get up to 17! ;)

    UMASS-NEWMASS 2025-2026

    Didn't play, went from 19 to 21 on NPI. While recruiting looks good for next year, I am still holding out a faint hope of making the tournament for this year. Perhaps Hrabel can start practicing standing on his head....UMASS needs him to show up big.

    2 out of 3 versus UML, good but not what they needed if they want to get in the playoffs. #19 NPI. 3 games against UNH, 2 vs UCONN and 1 vs BS. UMASS needs to go at least 4-2 or maybe 5-1 to have any chance.

    Thanks for the recruiting updates!

    Another grinding win. Will they ever win a game 5-1? Up to 19 on the NPI.
