    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    So.you are saying that MS7 is either: Lazy - doesn't want to do the hard work to do his job right to get the benefits of having Torts (or anyone else) a named 3rd assistant using that money Or Incompetent - doesn't understand the value of having a named 3rd assistant Or Wants the excuse -...

    Chuck this is the place that of what we see of MS7, he is the weakest. What little we hear from him I can only imagine his pitch. Recruit - I don't see a weight room in the Whitt. MS7 - yeah, I mean, it's tough, we are working to fix that, and right now you got go to another building so we...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Well you can say that and yet. Merrimack went 16-5-2 since New Years, has been to 2 of the last 4 Hockey East Championship games, won 1 of them and went to OT in the other and has been to the NCAAs 2 times in 4 years. Mean while UNH has gone a highly consistent 10th, 6th, 10th, 10th with no...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    I hear you on this one UNH had the will - see Lavins and LeClerc playing hurt, guys blocking shots and the stretches of the season where they played a hard game UNH had some.skill - the problem was not have traditional "UNH" scoring talent. What they didn't have was the strategy. They did...

    If I had to guess MS7 is rolling it all back out the same. Too much self awareness and work to do something different.

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Not sure I trust College Factuals but it is the one place you can get some of this information, and it is good for comparisons. Merrimack Hockey - $2.47M UNH - $2.43M Now there is no way UNH should be spending less than Merrimack in hockey. Even just $40k less is bad based on the two schools...

    I mean Borek was smart enough to go with a 3rd assistant over a Director of Hockey operations. He also compensates for his bald and grey with 2 30 somethings and a 20 something for his coaches. (Relating to recruits and now players is always a plus)

    Borek needs to be careful that black polo buttoned to the top looks like a turtle neck if you look quick

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Well we are in the off season canyon of hopelessness... The gaping chasm between a 10th place season and another likely 10th place season as we know an extension is more likely then a replacement while we all just pray they let the bad decision contract run out and hope that next spring we...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    I am sorry Dan you must be wrong. The only way you win in college athletics is to give the problem to a committee for a deep review, then throw a ton of resources (aka $$$) at it. Only after that can you determine if you have the right coach in place. Once you have given the current coach...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    I guess the real questions are: 1) Did Souza get an extension because a) TDL donation b) he is a known commodity with a history with the school and a well timed media campaign (Souza was more in the media that contract year than before or since) c) he is cheap (I think if this was the case...

    I also would like people to attempt to back up there assertions with some additional facts that are relevant to the claim. As an example the claim that UNH is a failing University because of a 88% acceptance rate Using AI - so my usual warning about errors Universities Ranked by Acceptance...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    I think I am in the same general boat with Dan and NCAAWatcher. I am guessing we all agree on the what, and as FU17 (OK - FU you need a better shortened name) notes it is a bit of a chicken and the egg. 1) Funding - YES, UNH Hockey would be better with more money. I think the clear...

    In 2023-2024 Mike McMahon noted the "tremendous work" MS7 had done with UNH. He thought the "contact length makes sense". These opinions aged well.

    Also the 3rd paid assistant was a rule change in 2023. Converting the volunteer assistant to a potential 3rd position. So this last year was year 3. This is the first I have heard of that change and UNH should absolutely be funding that position. If the FoH still existed MS7 could...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    I think the hidden item is how much worse would it get if you don't renew MS7 and hire any coach? Hire the ORHS hockey coach. How much worse does it get? The team is annually 9th or 10th in HE and wins 4 games after new years. My question to Mr. McMahon. What evidence do you have to back up...
