    UMass Lowell 2025-2026: Youth will be served

    That's awful news for Buchbinder, who I had hoped would take a big step forward this year. And interesting that there's still no comment about Mirko Buttazzoni. I have no idea if we will see him tonight, but I'd still guess not.

    It's midweek and still nothing from the league regarding Buttazzoni?

    UML Recruiting: Finally in the 20s!

    Seeing how many players could be on the roster next year (with the current baseline returning and the list of commits for 2026), I'm not that surprised that recruiting is quiet. But I'd also guess there are other schools that are somewhat in the same situation. So since I'm bored this morning...

    Agreed. As I noted, whatever it was isn't acceptable. Call me "woke" but none of those words are acceptable anymore. I do expect a league (or team) suspension. Coach Bazin says it will be addressed, from a CHN article:

    Thank you both for your comments. You're both spot on. Throwing out "racial slur" created a major reaction amongst the fans, myself included. As a POC, I don't ever want to have anyone representing my school/team/whatever that does something like that. And the only way we find out it wasn't is...

    Glad we got the sweep. I can honestly say I expected a split because we've seen enough of this program to know that no matter who's on the roster, they play down to certain teams. So I was extremely pleased to see that comeback on Saturday night.

    I'm wondering if it's tough for a "newer" D1 program to find opponents? It also might be to help some of the local D3 teams? I know I've said for a couple of years that it's too many.

    Going back to the Gill and Merrimack issue... Interestingly, this is now crossing sports as a major coach in NCAAB wasn't happy about G-Leaguers now committing to play college hoops. Tom Izzo spoke about this yesterday (ESPN article in the link). FWIW, I agree with Izzo.

    Not hockey related, but Lowell picked fourth in the America East Men's Basketball preseason rankings, and they even gave us one first-place vote. Which is shocking considering this team is almost completely new and has even more questions than Lowell hockey did going into the season...

    Diego Buttazzoni is listed as a 6th/7th Round pick potential in the 2026 NHL Scouting Prelim list. No current commits are on the list.

    These are games that we as fans expect Ws but we know how that's worked in the past.

    Of course, the bad news is they had 11 penalties. :)

    That was a massive step backwards for Lowell last night. We didn't even look like we belonged on the same ice. Disappointing performance.

    The season opener, Lowell came out flying. Last night, they came out flat. Western Michigan took it to us hard and it was 2-0 quickly. Only five shots each in the first and second periods. They had moments where they seemed to come alive, but damned if WMU didn't just shut it down. I don't know...

    Wonder what that means for ticketing for the Lowell away game at Lowell. :)

    Interesting note that won't impact this year's seniors, but there's a chance going forward that the NCAA will grant a fifth year of eligibility across the board. That's going to impact recruiting even more, I'd imagine.

    Well, National Champions Western Michigan come to town this weekend for 2. They're currently 1-1, losing their opener at home to Ferris State before going on the road and getting the W vs the same club. Let's see how the Hawks react this weekend to a bad loss at Merrimack.

    So now you can play pro hockey and then revert to college? Who knew?

    I do think that Scott Borek is a good coach, so I expect Merrimack to come out better than they did the last weekend. Hopefully Lowell is ready for this.
