    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    That period is probably a close second to the 3rd period against PC with regard to being the worst period of the season… They don’t even have Musa out there either…

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Alternate blues again tonight! I’m honesty a bit surprised they are going to them 3 games in a row, but I’m not complaining! Let’s get another W in them tonight!

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Love your blog, CHC! Been following it for years (as I imagine most of us here have been). Certainly a Herculean effort gathering all the info for all the players and chatting with the new recruits. Your efforts do not go unnoticed!

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Ive also been perplexed as to why we haven’t seen Coombs at all this year… he’s a bigger guy (6’2”) and posted a very good save pct (.926) for a championship team in the SJHL last year. I’m not as familiar with this league, but it may be similar to the BCHL? It appears long gone are the days of...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Prediction time again for this weekend. All weekends are big at this point of the season, and this one is no different. This prediction is a bit tough, as I feel UNH has usually played much better on Friday vs. Saturday this season, but they’re away on Friday this go around. Fri: UNH 3 UMA 2...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    He’s been absolute money this year at the Faceoff dish. UNH has had a fair number of goals right off the face off win. More than I can remember in recent years. I hope he doesn’t hit the portal this off-season… I’ve been fairly impressed with him, Newcombe, and McDonald from the recent...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Looks like Alex Westlund was hired as as a UConn assistant this year as the goalie coach (replacing Vince Stalletti - who left for the AHL). Westlund was the goalie coach for the Red Wings for 3 years and also the Goalie coach for Team USA in 2024 for the IIHF Championship. Appears to be decent...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    That’s fair, perhaps depending on what direction is taken (do we let MS7 go this year? Do we get an interim? Etc). I wouldn’t be surprised if Jimmy T at least gives him a phone call - if for nothing else maybe to get his opinion on potential candidates to look into. Who knows, maybe if Lassonde...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Came across a name today that I hadn’t heard in a long time - former longtime assistant Lassonde, who has mostly been working with the USN U17/18 teams for the last 5-6 years (and Olympics back in 2022). A few weeks back we were talking about prospective replacements/interims if MS7 is let go...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Can we be greedy and get 2? I’d even take a 4 point weekend with an OT/SO loss. The question is - which will we win? Friday we are in Amherst. Earlier this year, we couldn’t buy a win on a Saturday night… but with us away on Friday, maybe the win comes on Saturday? Hoping they wear their...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    My guess is they are also taking inspiration from Dartmouth, who similarly got a new coach (relatively new) and plans for major renovations, and have shown steady improvement in short order. Wonder who they will end up with, something to keep an eye on as the season winds down!

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Question for the group during the mid week “lull” between games: This conversation may be a bit too early, as the Canadian major Junior leagues are only in their first year with guys going to the NCAAs. But overall, how do people thing players from the different leagues (OHL, QMJHL, WHL) have...

    Thanks for sharing CHC! I know Heisenberg will sometimes post matriculation estimates for some players - how accurate do you think he is?

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    No worries at all - I understand it is a bit far-fetched. And perhaps I was thinking moreso in my line of work it is not wholly uncommon for people to move between government work and the private sector (in both directions). Alas though, I don’t work in athletics or admin, and it seems less...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    The concern would be football as we have talked about recently, and given the large recent investments in the new stadium / scoreboard… I agree hockey makes the most sense, and with the “potential” private investments in the Whitt renovations, I think that could really tip the scales in hockeys...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Also makes me wonder… if AD Rich is concerned with how budget cuts for this year may impact UNH (as it seems more may be on the way) if she decides to leave on her own accord and go somewhere in the private sector? Perhaps if she feels her long term outlook at UNH is cloudy and if raises/bonuses...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Totally agree. I bet Poirier stays in Maine as this year has been an aberration of late and he likely sees the bigger picture. I imagine Carolina probably wants him to stay at least one (maybe 2) more years with continued development. Maybe with another bad year next year he jumps ship to a...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Not sure if Lowell will lose our after their recent strong weekend. They finish with 2 at home against NU, away at Merrimack, and then home vs BU. I see at least 2 wins in there (perhaps more). I’m hoping for more than 26 points but we need a strong showing this weekend against UMA. Gotta play...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    I wonder if this is related to the recent gain of Romeo? Perhaps Carcone’s scholarship is going to Romeo, and maybe MS7 and co. Value Romeo moreso than Carcone? Either that, or perhaps Carcone saw the sinking ship, and is thinking his development may be better suited elsewhere… I wish him all...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    I imagine if Quinnipiac were to join, they would consistently land in the 4-6 range, as I’m not sure how often they would come out on top against the likes of BC and PC 2-3X a year. I haven’t heard much on if they plan to make the switch though. Perhaps they want to stay top dog in the ECAC...
