The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways.
Please note that you can switch between light and dark modes by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right of the main menu bar.
We are hoping that this new platform will prove to be faster and more reliable. Please feel free to explore its features.
Sorry norbie ... potty has been on the line with his politician pal(s?) trying to figure out what they haven't told him ... and after all that charity for the U ... 😂
Maybe it's time to move the emerging story about a department-wide review and the AD's future over here, seems more offseason than unfinished business ...
Ooooohhh ... you done hurt potty's feels, norbie! He writes heap big checks to feel like an "insider", and here he is now, holding the "left out of key info" bag 😂 😂
This is perhaps the most interesting (and potentially encouraging) piece of news to emerge from UNH Athletics in some time.
One would think there could be some wide-ranging impacts across the department, in any number of ways.
Wondering out loud if this has any bearing on the future of the...
"Mainstream" = one (1) writer beholden to his sources at each program, who will never speak ill of even the most incompetent coach. LO fecking L!! 😂 😂
"Shrink The Rink" was supposed to hold the key to a UNH Hockey renaissance, UNH gave it to him, and ... nothing changed. What's the...
I'm glad you pointed that out, potty. The debate earlier this month got roughly 1.6K-1.7K impressions for both MM and myself apiece, and the exchange ended when I challenged Mike on his "you can choose to believe otherwise" quip regarding his purported insight into the true reasons UNH doesn't...
I'm compelled to point out that while Plandowski was indeed a 5th round pick a few years ago (DRW), the Wings long ago relinquished his draft rights, and to the best of my knowledge never offered him a pro contract. Keep in mind as well, this is not an uncommon fate for 5th round draft picks...
There's a glistening nugget of insight shining through in your post that bears repeating. Dan has been consistent for years in preaching on this issue. (y)
Here's the ultimate test of the college hockey "media" and their willingness to do some real hard-hitting investigative journalism ...
... which one of the "fearless" Connollys or McMahons or NESN hack fill-in-the-blank will write the story of how one formerly prominent HEA school banished one...
He is playing for your Idaho Steelheads, pride of the hockey hotbed that is Boise ID. (y) 🇺🇸
I'm sure the college hockey advisor/agent network has already taken note, and upgraded their assessment of MS7's developmental skills ... 😂 😂
I don't think an extension of the AD is going to require a public announcement. Maybe just a brief Friday afternoon press release. FWIW I do expect her to stay, unless something opens up at Princeton in the near future.
As far as our libelous pal potty .... he seems happy to throw out...
Technically, I do believe there is time remaining for the school to act on the Men's Hockey HC. Realistically, with the AD in lame duck status (as we believe she is) there's no reason to think the T-Hall folks would allow her to make any "premature" termination decisions (i.e. buyouts) if her...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
