    Utica University 2024-25 - Retooled and Reloaded

    Not as familiar with Breault, but I agree with you on Scoville. Every time I tuned in to a Utica game that kid impressed me. Definitely had an amazing tourney…but decisions may have already been made by then?

    Hobart Statesmen Hockey 2024-2025 Reigning D3 Back to Back Champions

    I think you are right. Hobart and Utica squared off in Geneva plenty of times back in the ECAC-W days...and it was a fierce rivalry back then. I was at a few of those Cooler games. I don't ever remember the Utica crowd swarming the Cooler. Elmira and Oswego crowds would sometimes outnumber...

    Hobart Statesmen Hockey 2024-2025 Reigning D3 Back to Back Champions

    Yep - I think you're spot on. There has been "speculation" and/or "rumors" for 25+ years that there was potential for a new rink...on or off campus. When William Smith began to field an NCAA program, alumni were convinced that this would finally prompt a new facility. Nope. The 2007...

    Utica University 2024-25 - Retooled and Reloaded

    Yep. Well said. I don't think you can credibly can argue that the overtime was not an absolute, EPIC nailbiter. Could have gone either way. Congrats to the Pio's on an amazing season. Also, I used to love the old ECAC-West battles....and I think the last two tourney games were about as...

    Hobart Statesmen Hockey 2024-2025 Reigning D3 Back to Back Champions

    Damn....what a game. Talk about a heavyweight battle. Utica gave Hobart all they could handle...and then some. Congrats to UU for an amazing season. Something tells me their time will come soon...just glad it wasn't at our expense tonight. BTW - What a display of goaltending! Beaver...

    Hobart Statesmen Hockey 2024-2025 Reigning D3 Back to Back Champions

    C’mon now, you know know the saying…. “They don’t ask how, they just ask how many”. 😛 I think Iasenza would be the first to admit that if you gave him another 10 tries he wouldn’t thread that needle again. Harris was awesome for Genny…I had no idea that he was that good. But I’m guessing...

    Hobart Statesmen Hockey 2024-2025 Reigning D3 Back to Back Champions

    Hey 'Bart! Yeah 'Bart! Go "Bart! Win 'Bart! The dream of a 3-peat is still alive! Congrats to Geneseo on an amazing season. If I'm not mistaken, I think that is a very young team. Guessing we'll (continue to) see more from Genny in the coming years. Hobart looked like Hobart this...

    Utica University 2024-25 - Retooled and Reloaded

    That's an interesting point - and definitely food for thought. Although being outshot (and still winning) kind of validates Russell's point...sort of. Flip it around....Utica is 1-0 against top-10 defenses. Check me on this - but I believe St. Norbert was the only top-10 defense they faced...

    Utica University 2024-25 - Retooled and Reloaded

    I hear you...and it is pretty hard to argue that point. Many of us watched that kid (almost) single-handedly carry his team through 4 overtimes at Hobart in the tourney last year. One short of 100 saves that night. The kid is an absolute stud and has only got better this season. But I do...

    2025 Bracketology: The Road to Utica!

    OK, just to spur discussion....check out the chart below. Two of the FF teams rank at the very top in team Defense....the other two rank at the top in team Offense. Does the old cliche "defense wins championships" hold true....or is it the alternative cliche "you can't win if you don't...

    "Captain America"....LUUUUUUUUke Aquaro!! What a snipe... Hat's off to Trine - that's a tough team to put away. Not surprised they had so much success this year. On the the Frozen Four....still chasing the 3-peat. :p

    What a tilt....that's two really good teams going at it. Skill, speed, great saves, big hits, momentum swings.....this one had it all. Congrats to Utica. I thought they looked a bit out of sorts in the first....but they got stronger as the game went on and played their best hockey in the...

    Hobart Statesmen Hockey 2024-2025 Reigning D3 Back to Back Champions

    It sure looks that way. I'm not sure if Hobart played a team this season that was top 15 (NPI) at the time the game was played...maybe? I can't remember a season where Hobart's SOS was this weak. I'm not sayin for one second that this was intentional....this year's schedule looks a bit...

    Utica University 2024-25 - Retooled and Reloaded

    Yep - completely agree. From a players' perspective they are 100% focused on Saturday...nothing else. For us fans, I think we know by now the NCAA does not necessarily prioritize what we think is best for us. Now that they cleaned up the selection process, maybe the hosting site details are...
