    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Sadly, I've come to accept this as (a very harsh) reality, and a clear indication that most of us fans care far more about UNH Hockey than UNH itself does. What we need is an athletic director who demands excellence from those running their programs, not just compliance (and mediocrity by...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Watching on TV, the attendance or the first semi was abysmal. Not surprising for a UMass Amherst-Merrimack game in Boston. Nigel HAS to be pulling for a BC win in the late semi. Attendance for a Merrimack-UConn HEA Final would be scary low, especially with both UConn Hoops teams progressing...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    I'm about to turn on the NESN broadcast of the Hockey East semis. This was a frequent destination for our program when Dick Umile was the head coach. It was a routine long weekend/take Friday off decision ... and it's one we haven't been able to make for over a decade (at least with UNH...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Bill Herrion was out of contract when UNH's brand new AD made the decision to sever ties and not offer an extension. Passive and impersonal - the UNH way. Probably the same way that Mike Souza's UNH career will end a year from now.

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    First, I can't imagine Jimmy T. voluntarily stepping aside so early in his DO position. Second, Souza would have to take a substantial negotiated pay cut to take himself out of the line of fire i.e. the 3rd and final year on his latest contract. UNH would likely have to extend him a few years...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Because he clearly hates the State of New Hampshire more than he cares for his alma mater. We are the antithesis of the swampy world where he has operated for most of his adult life. It's why he has such a hard on ... err ... an *issue* with the folks in Concord. To potty, the bigger the...

    One would think the oft-mentioned Joe Dumais from nearby Quinnipiac could very well be one of those "blue bloods" expressing early interest?

    UNH Hockey Off Season Thread 2026

    It will be very interesting to see how many current UNH players hit the transfer portal after it opens on April 13th ...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Nervous times now for hockey fans in the Downeast. I can't even imagine Barr refusing Minnesota if he's offered that job. That's the pinnacle of D-1 hockey. And suddenly, the potential path of "Andy Jones to UNH" is ready to be gazumped by UMaine, just like when UNH clung to MS7 and let Barr...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    The "HC Andy Jones to UNH" bandwagon is picking up steam. I do expect, however, that someone who's got a professional CV that includes at least one (and possibly/probably two by the end of this weekend) trips to the NCAA's is gonna be able to demand at least $300K, and will expect to be able to...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    So ... midday yesterday, I stopped by the Effingwoods Post Office to pick up a parcel, and on my way in, I passed an older gentleman (kinda my age, actually!!) wearing a UNH Hockey cap on his way out. Brief exchange of "g'days", but wondered afterwards if it might be one of my fellow USCHO...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    This much we know for sure ... MS7 is WAY better at personal finances than he is at coaching hockey. He was basically given a 3 year extension at the same rate of pay he's been on since his initial hiring, which is a reflection of how little he has impressed the world in his current position...

    There he is, folks ... the self-proclaimed original Grouch, in all of his glorious grouchiness ... I think a Grouch Summit meeting needs to be arranged, eh?? At the risk of inflaming your hemorrhoids delicate sensitivities mon ami ... have you ever considered the delectable Ramona may sometimes...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    It's why when Dick was nearing the end of the road, Scotty B left when it became abundantly clear he was not going to be considered as Dick's successor. UNH (whether you consider "UNH" to be Blue Skies and/or the T-Hall folks) kneecapped Dick's two most logical and experienced successors in...

    You know ... there have to be mornings when Coach Umile wakes up at his Bow Lake retirement estate, sits down to have his morning cup of joe, comes on here to check out how the UNH faithful are feeling about his old program ... and then he sees a list like the one acs64 has cranked out above...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    C'mon Nick, don't be a tool. Every Kid like Conmy dreams of making The Show, and once they do, they hope to stick around to earn a pension. Never said he would make it - he's a 6th round pick, ferchrissakes, a super long shot - but he thinks he will, and he's the only one who counts, no??
