    UNH Hockey Off Season Thread 2026

    A coaching change doesn’t have to hurt recruiting—there are plenty of recent examples that show the opposite. Look at Maine under Ben Barr, where a new staff quickly re‑energized the program and gave incoming players clear opportunity and momentum. Providence under Nate Leaman, UConn under Mike...

    UNH Hockey Off Season Thread 2026

    They were inconsistent 5x5. Brown had to do a lot of line shuffling due to a couple of key injuries and they never developed any consistency after winning the beanpot. Hockey East was simply not good this year. My guess is Conmy's stock may have been better served staying with UNH :)

    UNH Hockey Off Season Thread 2026

    UNH hasn’t been relevant in ages, but this forum stays elite because the people here actually show up. The mix of diehards, cynics, historians, and chaos agents makes every thread more entertaining than most games. We argue, we overanalyze, we meltdown, and we come back like nothing happened...

    UNH Hockey Off Season Thread 2026

    Leadership should absolutely be examining systemic issues within the athletic department, but that effort shouldn’t preclude simultaneously evaluating alternate coaching options. Both can—and should—happen at the same time, because while the problems may be broader than one person, Souza is...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    1000% Flag. Shrinking the Whittemore Center ice from 200×100 to 200×90 erased UNH’s old home‑ice advantage because the rink now plays like every other NCAA sheet, eliminating the extra space that once threw visiting teams off and favored UNH’s speed‑driven style. I am pretty sure the move was...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    The deadline for ST renewals at the current price is 3/21. I am certain those numbers will have an impact on decisions moving forward. My guess would be if they start to average below 50% of capacity the losses could start to add up quickly. They may be getting close to that threshold now, hence...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Just floating an interesting idea out into the UNH fan forum- Imagine Jim Tortorella is ready to step aside, and Mike Souza wants to redirect his energy into the areas where he has the greatest impact. In that scenario, transitioning Souza into the Director of Operations role becomes a natural...

    Had to share this. A bit like Collin Hemingway's goal in 2006. although CH did it between the legs in live action vs 1-1. https://x.com/barstoolsports/status/2033660039647424752?s=20

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    If the bar is really that low, then you could also argue the opposite of what McMahon is saying: a tough situation can be a massive opportunity. Programs that look “insurmountable” from the outside are exactly the kinds of jobs where a hungry, ambitious coach can make their name. Turning around...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    I found this very interesting... Chuck may actually be onto something. I get that the sports media shouldn't be negative towards coaches or players but advocating for losing is irresponsible. I was actually considering signing up for the pay version of his newsletter/podcast. Not so much. I did...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    I get what you’re saying about institutional support, but there’s a piece of this conversation that often gets overlooked: UNH has to see losing hockey as a problem, because the financial structure of the Whittemore Center forces them to. The Whitt is enormously expensive to operate. The only...

    Hi Mike, Thank you again for taking the time to respond. I respect your commitment to your players, staff, and family. My note wasn’t meant to overlook the realities of your contract—it was meant to express, directly and honestly, the concerns many longtime supporters have about the direction...

    Dear Mike, I want to start by thanking you for everything you have given to the University of New Hampshire hockey program over the years. Your commitment, work ethic, and loyalty to the program have been clear, and there is no question that you care deeply about UNH hockey and the players who...
