    UML Recruiting: Finally in the 20s!

    Thanks for the analysis. Norm is French Canadian, and several of us here have wondered why he hasn’t leveraged that to recruit players from the Q up to this point.

    I would welcome a new recruiting philosophy

    “Any implementation is expected to be phased in as is the case with most new NCAA policy.”

    UMass Lowell 2025-2026: Youth will be served

    Interesting. With the CHL eligible now the talent pool is as big as its ever been. Age restrictions might not hurt Lowell as much as they would in the past.

    UML Recruiting: Finally in the 20s!

    He's ranked #193 on the NA Central Scouting draft list too.

    UMass Lowell 2025-2026: Youth will be served

    I'm assuming Bazin will be back. ScottK made a comment here recently saying he isn't going anywhere. Also, despite the lack of wins in recent seasons, the building is still drawing large crowds, although I noticed fewer students coming to the games. I'm not sure if I will renew my ticket for...

    UMass Lowell 2025-2026: Youth will be served

    Absolutely. Some of the national talking heads didn’t think he should be the starter because he was coming off a knee injury. I’m glad he’s proved them wrong. Also, all Hockey East fans should be proud that all the goalies are from our league. I’ve long felt that the best goaltending comes from...

    UMass Lowell 2025-2026: Youth will be served

    That's how I feel. I'm not a fan who knows the game well enough to know the X's and O's, but we've been seeing similar results with multiple rosters, and I feel like they got off to the hot start last season because the new players hadn't yet adjusted to that system.

    UMass Lowell 2025-2026: Youth will be served

    I think this team is the most talented Norm has had in the past few seasons, yet there has been no improvement in scoring. The recruiting pipeline looks grim, and any transfer with scoring ability will likely not produce in this system.

    You’ve said it with every post you make, but I don’t disagree with you.

    Thanks, instead of inept, I should have said they can’t finish. They are inefficient with their shot selection, given those possession numbers.

    UMass Lowell 2025-2026: Youth will be served

    They are averaging 1.5 goals this season at home too. Tonight was my first time seeing them in the 2nd half. I thought they played with good energy and skated well against BU, but they are just offensively inept. I really don’t understand why they score more on the road. It’s like the Tsongas is...

    The team that scores first wins most of the time anyway, but once the other team scores first against this Lowell team, you know the game is already over. It’s deflating.

    UML Recruiting: Finally in the 20s!

    I can understand some of the others, but telling 19 year old Elliot Gulley, averaging more than a PPG in USHL that there’s no room on the roster seems reckless. I guess NIL could be a factor though. He might be exceeding expectations and wants more money.

    UMass Lowell 2025-2026: Youth will be served

    Their record at home since the start of the 23-24 season is 11-24-5 (.287%). It is getting hard for me to want to renew my ticket.

    Owen Fowler with GWG too.

    UML Recruiting: Finally in the 20s!

    I would put Cam Ellsworth on the short list too. Not sure if he's still interested in coaching, but he had an incredible record at Norwich (66–14–10), one of the best D3 programs, and he was the primary recruiter during those UML glory days.

    UMass Lowell 2025-2026: Youth will be served

    I think it's more like the team carried Welsch in the first half. Injured or not, Henry did not deserve much ice time in the 2nd half with an .892 save %. I didn't know he was hurt. I assumed he was not playing due to performance.

    UML Recruiting: Finally in the 20s!

    No. You must be confusing me with the other poster who mentioned Andre Lee. If you don’t recognize the analogy as it relates to a coach’s past performance, I can’t help you. Lowell is #55 in NPI right now. I hope Norm can turn it around and improve this team, but if they finish the season in the...

    I guess the Patriots should have kept Bill Belichick then
