    UNH Hockey Off Season Thread 2026

    I thought he had a lot of potential and always hoped he'd earn a larger opportunity. I saw the exhibition with the US NTDP last season and liked his game. He reminded me of a little sturdier version of Michael McNicholas. McNicholas struggled through his first two seasons but took off as a JR...

    Magnussen is heading to North Dakota; He would have been an impact fit. The Lindenwood guys have good numbers, but your guess is as good as mine on how that translates. I wouldn't be surprised if they follow their recruiting coach (Bill Muckalt) to MTU. Houde's centerman has already done so this...

    A few people closer to the program than I are very pleased to have him. Miami just lost a defenseman to Notre Dame and Helledy seems the type to just slide right in to that spot without missing a beat…

    I'd be surprised if he wasn't the rumored DIII transfer previously discussed... UNH has 25 players, with at least one (Kendrick) a designated student-athlete. So they do have two roster spots available if they did choose to wade back into the portal/recruiting realm. Id rather they pass unless...

    I am especially intrigued by Ryan Johnson, who I think would be grabbing more fanfare if his UAA seasons were reversed. After scoring 27 goals and 52 points in his final junior season with New Mexico (NAHL) he posted 11-14--25 in 33 games as a freshman with the Seawolves. He backed that up with...

    If it was year one of a contract extension, I think they roll with a transfer and the freshman. When it’s year three, you’ve gotta get the goaltender right and taking two swings at college experience makes sense… I think we’ve seen desperation in how the rostered goalies have been managed the...

    Well, that seems to be the last of Souza's chips - all into the middle of the table... Kendrick would have been interesting as the only goalie selected out of the portal, as the second pick-up its even more intriguing. He clearly played well at Sacred Heart, but was edged out of the crease by...

    Simpson made 27 saves to beat UNH 3-2 on February 28, in Durham. He surrendered a PP goal to Alex Carr and an EA goal to Marty Lavins for his second win. He beat Northeastern in Providence two weeks earlier, allowing just one PP goal...

    Hard to know exactly when each player was on each roster, but Michael Simpson has potentially played professionally alongside the following UNH alumni... 24-25 Belleville Senators (AHL) Angus Crookshank 24-25 Orlando Solar Bears (ECHL) Ara Nazarian Ryan Verrier Kohei Sato Liam Devlin Ty...

    Before I could finish my last post, Denver's Quentin Miller also jumped into the portal... He was Denver's starting goalie entering this season and played 25 games with a .916 SPCT and a 2.39 GAA. Denver still has Johnny Hicks (who went 16-0-1 to lead them to a title) so they're probably still...

    Sign him up! In all honesty, strange to see anyone - especially a goalie - leaving a school like Cornell. For an Ivy netminder that is the perfect combination of academics, winning hockey and goals against average. If he's entering the portal, my first instinct is that someone has bought...

    Goaltenders are starting to domino... Lehti, UAF to Minnesota State Moore, Bowling Green to Lowell Applebee, LSSU to Quinnipiac Sigurdson, Northeastern to Michigan State Strahl, Michigan State to Minnesota Wickstrom-Sturmer, Canisius to Maine Most intriguing goalies left with one year of...

    Pretty good day for a team with nothing to offer. No Kevin McHales, but four solid pick-ups. IMO, New Hampshire is better today than they were yesterday. How much better? We wait and see. Desperate Souza is, at the very least, the best version of Souza. Still need to add a pair of goaltenders...

    I hope so too. Projected line-ups from me are often a Frankenstein combination of what I would do, what I expect the coaches would do and player's paired up based on complimentary skill sets. The line-up you quoted had two scoring lines, a match-up/defensive line and a third, emerging scoring...

    I understand your reference. And I recall his comments also landing with a large, poorly-received thud... Nobody was clamoring for Larry Bird then, and no one is clamoring for Hobey Baker now. He didn't need HOFers to improve, and UNH doesn't need AAs to improve their offensive production, so...

    And somewhere in the miles and miles and miles wide chasm separating those AA's from the bottom half of UNH's roster there are players with more eligibility, more proven offensive ability or both. Players like these - either looking to move up a level and prove themselves, or down a level to...
