    UNH Hockey Off Season Thread 2026

    The Jerry Azumah Performance center is a very nice strength and conditioning center located about 2.75 miles CLOSER to the Whitt than WMUs strength and conditioning facility to Lawson. In 2020 it had ~$2M renovation. Shockingly UNH has designated Strength and Conditioning Coaches too. As...

    UNH Hockey Off Season Thread 2026

    Is this on the player for not adjusting, the recruiter for not getting the right "groceries" or the coach for not having or tweaking the system that can utilize the player? I lean coach and can be convinced otherwise. My thinking is when you are climbing and spot talent you can get in an area...

    THANK YOU... I looked that guy up and he does the type of analysis I like... rmshockey.substack.com Example: "This scoring surge is the direct result of a deliberate tactical shift. While Denver spent six months during the regular season as a “possession engine”—averaging 14:20 of offensive...

    One of the comments from McCloskey, I think to the FoH years ago. There is something about UNH and even UMaine that feels like British Columbia. So even thought it is so far away, many of the players got on campus and felt comfortable and that was on the list of reason to pick these schools...

    Where did you find that stat? I haven't come across it, and it is a good one. I keep coming back the system. I was so impressed with how Denver generated offense particularly against Cornell. Lots of planned tip plays. (some luck on those at times too). Sometimes finishing is less about...

    It really depends on what your scorers need. UNHs recent problem is nobody that puts the puck in the net.

    Coombs as a 3rd could make sense as well. SJHL numbers just don't translate. I don't put much stock in goalie playing time under MS7. I worry Henriquez will be asked to sit simply because he is a freshman goalie.

    Sounds like Zebeski could in the future serve as the 3rd guy on a top two line. The one that does the dirty work to get the puck for the scorers.

    Well I worry about Henriquez a little in this regard. "... take that talent and use it inside a system that's designed for the betterment of the team." Herb Brooks I think UNH is starting to come around a bit on the D side in having a system... maybe, just maybe. If there aren't a pile of...

    Note: Coombs had really good numbers in the SJHL however those numbers don't seem to translate as well in NCAA D1. Honestly most don't seem to have any impact other than John Kotai from Augustina and his first NCAA D1 year was rough.

    So in college the Coach is GM and Coach. So when I read the Carle interview I see a clear strategy on both. As the GM you need to build a team and you need to get players willing to do the dirty work. During the Duluth games there was discussion that Sandalin had a defensive system that...

    So back to hockey and coaches... Did BC really just under achieve this year? It just seemed they had loads of talent and could win just about anytime they fully engaged for the full game. I did only watch a few. So I don't think the problem was talent. Was it mix? Or coaching? Or? It is a...

    Yeah loved Duluth. I was very impressed with Wisco. Neither stopped grinding. Just wished Duluth had started the game on time. They shockingly got away with it against Penn State, better goalie standing on his head is my theory.

    That is a great interview. Particularly the scoring vs defending part, Carle highlights several times. I think that scoring vs defending lesson is something Umile learned in 1998. Michigan just suffocated a fantastic UNH offense, without giving up their own offense. After that UNH defended...

    Flag... I think what you are looking for is a combination of: results on the ice, player progress and fan "service". It is the last that means the most to the fans. That the coach cares as much as the fans. You see the animation as caring (I do too). A coach can be stoic behind the bench...

    Don't get too full of yourself. It is the time of year many of us go do other things. As to Norbert you can be confident I will pull him back when golfing is over and hockey is starting again. I'll get him posting simply so you don't think you win, if for no other reason. You are just an @ss...

    I always find this to be an interesting discussion. There have been many animated college hockey coaches and most can get hot during games. However, arguably the best current college hockey coach is David Carle and he is generally reserved and cerebral. Even today during the DU vs WMU game...
