    2025-2026 Little East

    I get it, but I don't think we can ask if Norwich has enough to "beat those teams" when they've already beaten those teams. I forgot to mention in my previous post that they'd already beaten NEC as well. I guess my point is we don't have to hypothesize whether Norwich CAN beat those teams when...

    2025-2026 Little East

    I realize there is more to play, but you said (re: Norwich) "still have to wait to see against the contenders". Again, round two coming up for all but they have already defeated PSU, USM, and spanked Castleton. OT loss to UMB. Obviously, the Babson loss wasn't great but did feature a furious...

    Norwich Hockey - Time to Regroup

    To be frank, it's been a disaster. I won't get into it here. But yes, there has been a lot of turnover and it hasn't been good.

    Norwich Hockey - Time to Regroup

    Totally agree. I've noticed this season, in general, I can barely make out most of what comes through the PA. Also (and I'm gonna be the old man for a minute) there has been more than a half dozen instances of the music being played not being the "clean" version. Seems wild that they're playing...

    Norwich Hockey - Time to Regroup

    I could chime in but I didn’t see anything other than what’s already been stated. I know I say this a lot, but while the more aggressive offensive style is awesome I’m concerned about the amount of quality chances Norwich gives up. They’re not good enough on offense yet to overcome giving up a...

    Norwich Hockey - Time to Regroup

    Hit two crossbars that I saw for sure. Keene State goalie played well, especially early. Norwich clearly the better team. Again, I think we’re still a recruiting class away for Dawes to get the guys he wants for his style of play. D’Ancona, Benjamin, and Stahlbaum continue to be, in my...

    Norwich Hockey - Time to Regroup

    Good crowd tonight. Student section was jammed, primarily with football and men’s lacrosse players. They were loud and energetic. Almost resembled the old days.

    Norwich Hockey - Time to Regroup

    I agree with just about everything Jerry said. I would add Benjamin; at some point I feel like he's really going to break out. I've been high on Stahlbaum from day one so I'm glad he has been proving me right! I am concerned about one thing. While there is no question that Norwich is far more...

    Norwich Hockey - Time to Regroup

    I think you'll see the overall team speed gradually increase as Dawes brings in more guys for "his style" of play. D'Ancona and Benjamin are two freshmen who move well, and Fancy can be quick when he really wants to - especially for a bigger kid. Not only are the crowds sparse; they're dead...

    Norwich Hockey - Time to Regroup

    I thought Sami was pretty sharp. Outside of the usual "Steady Eddies" I thought Kashul and Benjamin played well. I've been impressed with Schubert's improvement this year; IMO he has come a long way. I love watching Brazo, Thibodeau, and Bertrand. High effort kids. Of note, the Cadets have...

    2025-2026 Little East

    Time will tell but I’d pump the brakes on Norwich “running out of gas”. Great game in the OT loss to Nazareth who looked better than any LEC team I’ve seen this year followed by a win over Misericordia whose goalie stood on his head to keep it close despite being outshot 49-10. Norwich this...

    Harroun beat cancer last year. Walcarius was dealing with something personal last year, which prevented him from playing more than the one (IIRC) game he appeared in.

    Norwich Hockey - Time to Regroup

    I mean, the shot disparity was staggering. I thought Misericordia’s goalie played well. The Cadets clearly carried play all night and it didn’t feel like a close game, despite the score. Sloppy in their own zone at times, one occasion resulted in the Cougars second goal. Misericordia played...

    Norwich Hockey - Time to Regroup

    Nazareth was good. Cadets were flat for the whole first period. Got outplayed for about 60% of the game. I still think they come out very timid against good teams and spend the early part of games on their heels. Not sure why. Sami, to me, has looked just “ok” for much of this year. Finally...

    D3 schools CHL rule change

    Generally, you're correct that D3 to pro is limited. I'd argue we see it more in hockey than any other sport though. Probably due to both the smaller gap (no real D2) and the number of pro hockey leagues.

    Norwich Hockey - Time to Regroup

    Heading into the long December break, perhaps we can stir up some hockey discussion to tide us over. A couple of thoughts from the first "half": - I'd love to play Curry again. I think it's a much better hockey game now than it was then. - The only game I'd really like to have back is UMB...

    Norwich Hockey - Time to Regroup

    Happily. One of my main takeaways from last weekend was I don't think we will ever know how much not having Walcarius available hurt the team last season. I've said it before, but I think he is very, very good. By the end of 2024-25 I thought Sami was very average and I'm sure it was a result...

    Norwich Hockey - Time to Regroup

    I believe there’s going to be a paywall for every game in which an LEC team is the host, probably until the NCAAs (God willing).

    Norwich Hockey - Time to Regroup

    Great first and third last night. I thought they took their foot off the gas a bit to start the second and ended up on their heels for much of the period. All in all a good performance. My heart wants a classic Norwich/Middlebury packed house clash tonight but my head knows better. Went down a...
