    UNH Hockey Off Season Thread 2026

    Well it is a good thing UNH Athletics has a sport nutritionist on staff. Kaidy Wallace is going on 4 years. Clearly she is the reason the hockey program has improved over the last 4 years... Oh wait.

    Agreed due process is important. Accusations are easy, in the moment generally he who cries foul first gets the advantage, proof when the facts are all gathered and dispassionately considered is hard. I will note, I am not a fan of "charge the felony first then down grade", those years when I...

    It is not like there is a wave of bad behavior coming out of NCAA Hockey. There are ~1,690 players (65 x 26) and we see maybe 1 or 2 a year on average for all of the NCAA. Best my friend Google Gemini I can find looking for legal or academic trouble is: Gavin McKenna (Penn State - 2026): In...

    Well the only 2 goalies with similar USHL numbers played in the national championship game their freshman year... One won it. All 3 basically the same height, with Henriquez being a bit lighter than the other 2. Even as amazing as a hot goalie can be, I don't think UNH is a goalie away from...

    It doesn't seem to me like he was available to flip until UNH decided to push him back a year. Since he is going to be at BC we will get to see if he is a college star like the few goalies with similar USHL numbers that have come along in recent years, if he is a Flower or Slukynsky it will be...

    Well the announcement came on April 19th via Henriquez's social media. SI Roberto Leonardo Henriquez, Simpson and Kendrick both appeared here on USCHO as transfers on April 15th, 3-4 days before that. Nothing official and this looks suspiciously like Souza got two transfers and tried to push...

    Relax... never attributed anything to you. In most ways I am agreeing with you. STEM degrees for Hockey, most D1 athletes, are rare. The class requirements and the practice/game requirements are a very difficult mix. I went STEM because that is the simplest way to see if anybody other than...

    Gemini and I have different definitions. I say Biomedical Science is more "hard science" and Exercise Science, OT etc. are more Healthcare. There does seem to be a debate about what parts of health care are actually STEM. Do you need to be more research / hard science focused to be considered...

    I was noting a Hockey player getting a STEM education, which is rare. So yes, I was including biological sciences etc. Dr. Fortney has been in the news lately, so it wasn't even a search to find him. Gemini says - Alex Gagne and Luke Reid were also STEM Biomedical Science and 4.0 GPA 2025...

    UNH has not turned out goalies in more than a decade. While BC regularly does. I am guessing the sales pitch is simple, we (BC) have a successful program and 4 Goalies playing either NHL/AHL that have been at BC over the last 10 years (yes Demko is about to time out of that pitch) and part of...

    There have been a handful over the years, Dr. Fortney being the most prominent. Business, finance, communication, physiology/physical therapy tend to be the most common

    Interesting read RMS analysis of the junior leagues translating to college. It points out, not directly, how far below expected point totals the UNH CHL 1st year players performed.

    UNH Hockey Off Season Thread 2026

    Seems a weird change for a player that seemed to be coming on for UNH down the stretch. It is hard to look good on a bad team and still he seemed to be winning on the wall and getting the puck to the net. It's not like he didn't have playing time. Pushed? Writing on the wall?

    Physician, heal thyself Only footage I can find in a quick google is the ECAC ALL Rookie Team Svartstrom starts at about 1 minute mark. 4 of the 5 goals highlighted are at the crease.

    UNH Hockey Off Season Thread 2026

    I am curious about style of play for the in coming players. It is easy to assume that Svartstrom as a large frame forward is going to be good around the net. However his game might be from the half walls or he could be like Wisconsin's Montgomery how is a similar size yet more crafty with the...

    If only he worked as hard as a coach as he does to get an extension in a contract year.

    This feels a little worrying. Just looking at his numbers in the USHL and how those historically translate into NCAA hockey I would have wanted him this year minimum splitting time and allowing him to compete for the job outright. This feel like a fish on the line, that if you leave it in the...

    For me on this item the jury is still out... or maybe it is perspective First will there be more movement, absolutely! The reality is sometimes program and player don't mesh for whatever reason, ask JJ Wiebusch. He is at Penn State which is one of the "big $$$", schools, newer facility (13...

    Ok.... But it isn't a chemistry problem. It is a matching "talent with task". If you have guys good a banging in rebounds but all the other players are shooting high/wide there are no rebounds to work with.... That is strategy and game planning.
