    UNH Hockey Off Season Thread 2026

    All fair comments, 100% You and I have our battles here but we are closely aligned in terms of identifying the root cause of the dysfunction. I am sure that over dinner or beers we could conduct our own analysis and built out a portfolio of solutions. That said, this is a hockey board, not a...

    As is the the incompetence of UNH and its Athletic Department. Exhausting, indeed. I evaluate outcomes at face value, good or bad. I refuse to put lipstick on a pig.

    UNH Hockey Off Season Thread 2026

    As a taxpayer and alum, I've grown tired of the gross mismanagement, excuses and justifications spewed to fans about why the program has regressed. While I fully understand that a state institution will never be run like a corporate entity, the fact remains there has been zero accountability...

    Or, a realist. He accomplished what 99% of hockey players dont; a chance to play D1 hockey as a scholarship athlete. That is a tremendous accomplishment. Kudos to he and his family Less 7% of college players play ine game in the NHL. 30-50% (depending on sources) have the opportunity to play...

    Tricks to save his job or build a competitive team? He's had enough runway to showcase what he can and cannot do as a coach. The results are damning.

    Or, lack of professional options?

    Temperance. We were all optimistic about last year's CHL as well. Look how that turned out.

    You beat me to the punch, Snives. More apt to see useless "Sports Management" degrees than engineering or any other hard science.

    If only he worked as hard as a coach as he does working the portal.

    Desperate men do desperate things. On one hand, I want to see a measurable improvement to next season's team. On the other, I want the status quo to continue to trigger the hiring of a new coach.

    Perhaps. The bar is pathetically low. There was optimism at this time last year as well when all the CHLers joined the team. Look at how that turned out. The question to ask is why do players under the watch of MS7 plateau or regress? Is Durham a place where talent goes to die or is the...

    Bogie intrigues me and not because he lived next door to me (with Tom Nolan) freshman year at Lord Hall. He brings the experience, the energy, the attitude and the gift of gab UNH desperately needs.

    Would love to be a fly on the wall in the office of MS7 today.

    We agree, but at the same time this isn't a situation where a new coach came in and cleaned house. These are players he and his staff identified, recruited and bought to Durham. There are so many variables in play, admittedly, but at what point does MS7 look in the mirror and say, "what...
