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.
This is the difficulty in trying to dig out of last-place finishes in a conference. Trying to recruit a class that can change the culture is extremely challenging. Colgate managed to do it in 2015 and has not looked back since. For Harvard, Dartmouth, RPI, and a few others, it is an uphill climb...
I don't think the program is shutting down. I think they are moving back to D-2 or D-3. So the players can stay and continue playing or enter the transfer portal in the hopes of landing at a D-1 program. Again, I don't see Harvard using the portal. The transfer process for Harvard applies to all...
The transfer portal did not exist in 2006. Tobe had to go through the transfer application process that every student wanting to transfer to Harvard has to go through. Transfers get notified in late May or early June after admissions tallies how many students are coming in and how many are...
It's not that they can't use the portal. I think it is more of a choice not to participate. And if I had to guess (given my history in working with Admissions), this is more about academics and the idea that these kids use the portal to move between schools like they are dropping and picking up...
On an unrelated note, the Bruins signed Bancroft from Cornell even though he had one more year of eligibility. I'd like to see the B's sign Ryan Walsh now as well. Put a dent into Cornell for next season.
Okay, so I'll take the bait and offer some thoughts on your rankings:
First, the forwards. I don't think Tresca warrants being in the top tier. Yes, he's had injury issues, but he's not a top-six forward by any stretch. I would put him in the lower tier. We don't know anything about Will...
Matt Davis owns you guys. Plain and simple. Had Devine not coughed up the puck at the blue line late in the second period, it would have been back-to-back shutouts counting last year's championship game. The other thing that jumped out at me was the physical play. I understand why BC wanted to...
I was wondering if he would redshirt this year and come back next year. Harvard eliminated that possibility about ten years ago I think. They don't allow redshirts unless the student takes time off from school. I'm guessing that Kyle Aucoin is entering as a grad transfer, although his...
I have to say I was truly stunned by last night's result. Having seen you guys play several times this year and at the most recent HE tournament, I did not see last night coming at all. You have a fun team to watch - it would have been great to see you in St. Louis. Maybe next year.
This is from a Harvard fan. Please beat the snot out of Cornell today. Run it up as much as you can. I'm not a fan of Pandolfo after what he did to us in the Beanpot, but I hate Cornell and Schaefer even more.
The UConn goalie was the difference, in my opinion. Especially in the third period. The third UConn goal was the killer because you guys were coming on and finding your game. You had the Huskies on their heels. Poor coverage down low enabled them to score and being down two heading to the third...
They still need another goalie for next season. To go into the year with only two will mean they will need an exemption to play with one if the other gets hurt. Too risky.
BTW, Ian Moore signs with San Diego of the AHL. Nice place to play pro hockey.
Hmm. I rely on RinkNet College Commitments (https://www.collegecommitments.com) and they had him listed as going to Harvard next year. I have no reason to doubt your source. I'm wondering why RinkNet didn't remove him from their list. This also means Donato has to find another goalie w/o the use...
Callow in particular is perplexing. How a kid with his size and shot doesn't produce more is beyond me. If I were on the coaching staff, I would make sure that he bulks up this summer, works on his skating and when he returns to Cambridge, teach him to go to the dirty areas to create scoring...
Time to close the book on the season. The series was a lot closer than I expected and while it was great that we took them to OT, you could see that Clarkson was the better team and it was only a matter of time. Tough way to end the season but at least there was some improvement.
My wish list...
First off, I'm 68 years old and I walk to Bright Landry from the Square even on cold winter nights. If you are telling me that 18 -to 21-year-old kids can't make the same trek, then something is radically wrong with our youth. Puhleeze.
Second, Bright Landry is light years better than Walter...
