Quinnipiac Bobcats 2026 Off-season

I think we are going to see Quinnipiac go more with the year to year recruiting method and less committing guys when they are 16 unless they are bigger talented guys. I have to think that at least a 1/3 or more of the players on my recruiting spreadsheet never make it to Hamden. This is based on what I’ve seen in the past year committing 6 players from the CHL for this years team. If commits don’t develop in juniors the way the program expects then I see QU pushing them back further until they decide switch their commitment elsewhere because the program can find plenty of talent available north of the border and many of them drafted by NHL teams.

I think all recruiting will drastically change for everyone if the NCAA passes the proposed 5 yr rule. It will dramatically affect D-I hockey.

You call Donato an overrated coach yet in head to head when it mattered, he's dead even with your coach. So how does that make him the most overrated coach in D-1 when you guys can't even dominate us in the games that really matter? Cripes, get a grip.
HES OVERRATED BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS HAVE 186 NHL DRAFT PICKS ON THE ROSTER. SIT DOWN
