    University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

    The tweet didn't say where he was going, just said it's rumored he's getting a CHL head coaching gig. If I had to guess I would say Niagara IceDogs, Fortier follows them on twitter and they have an opening. I'm not sure why the tweet was taken down, but Fortier follows the account that posted...

    According to this anonymous rumors account he’s getting a head coaching job in the CHL. Congrats to him if it’s true. https://x.com/nahockeyrumors/status/1933154993948803489?s=46

    I don't think not opting in this year is the end of the world. The school had less than two weeks from the official settlement was finalized to the deadline to opt in this year. Like I said in February, Barr didn't seem very enthusiastic about opting in when he was on the CHN Insiders podcast...

    Are you the parent of a player that got cut or something? The only time you post on USCHO is to shit on Barr. If he's so toxic why do good players never leave? Why would Boija and Holt stay when they could've gone pro? How could he recruit the best recruiting class in over a decade if Maine is...

    Soltys has been named GM at Lake State. Seems like this opens up a spot for John O'Connor from Mount Saint Charles to be named Maine's GM. https://x.com/MikeMcMahonCHN/status/1930264363643928746

    Usereau decommiting would make sense. Holt, Langlois, Usereau, and Coughlin all at LD wouldn't make sense and if Holt was going pro I would think it would be announced by now. My hot take for next year's roster is that after the NHL draft Evan Van Gorp is announced to come in next year. Maine...

    Maine Recruits: When Ashes Fall, Legends Rise

    Malachi McKinnon was traded to Pentiction. Looks like he's going to be playing in the WHL next year, and the Penticton to Maine pipeline keeps going.

    Maine Recruits: When Ashes Fall, Legends Rise

    The portal is closed except for coaching changes and scholarships being pulled. I could potentially see Arnott trying to get some time as a forward.

    Maine Recruits: When Ashes Fall, Legends Rise

    Seems like good news but I have to wonder if Holt is going pro, or Langlois isn't recovering they way they hoped. Holt - Djurasevic Langlois - Chabrier Usuereau - Peterson Coughlin - Motew - Nobes/Arnott Is a crowded blue line.

    Jaden Lipinski 6'4 center from the Vancouver Giants commits to Maine. 4th round pick by Calgary in 2023. He played 3 AHL games, not sure how that works eligibility wise. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/585619/jaden-lipinski

    I would agree that older Pearson/Fossier might make last years top 6, but I think 16/17 freshman Pearson/Fossier are on the 4th line. I don't think Shea, Vesey and especially Smith crack the lineup, but Cam Brown might've. Having Shea over Russell is actually insane. I think Hamilton was too...

    University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

    I agree that the lack of elite forwards has been a little disappointing, but what Barr has done is brought in high end college players and substantially raised the talent floor. Look at the roster from Byrons senior year, 16/17 and tell me who would've made last years lineup. The 16/17 team went...

    University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

    I take it more as a sign that Holt/Djurasevic/Chabrier are all coming back. I imagine Usereau and Longlois take the two open LD spots, so that leaves one RD spot and the extra skater for Motew/Peterson/Arnott to compete for. I'm not shocked Antonacci wouldn't want to compete to be the extra...

    I'm not sure if they can commit after the portal ends. It seems incredibly likely that Landon Sims commits to Maine once his season ends but I'm not sure about other CHL players. It seems like there's still at least 1 center that needs to come in for next year.

    Isaac Gordon to NoDak. The portal closes in 14 days.

    Rickwood to NoDak. I really hope they have more than Landon Sims lined up once the CHL season ends.

    University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

    This seems overly pessimistic. American born first round draft picks are getting roughly 100k/year, and foreign players on a student visa aren't able to receive anything (although it seems like this is changing or they're getting different visas). There aren't any schools/NIL collectives...
