    UNH Hockey Off Season Thread 2026

    Billing out of state students more than in state students isn't unique to UVM, UNH OR UMaine. Hardly. In fact, UMass does the very same thing, and the ratio between in state rates and out of state rates between UNH and UMass (45%-ish) are nearly identical. The delta for UMaine is slightly...

    Thanks for sharing, sincerely. Could have done without the editorial "sounds a lot like UNH" snark, but so be it. In addition to Burlington having been a very popular draw among out of state students from NY and MA, there was also a fair share of NH kids seeing UVM as a viable...

    It's hockey related, but not college hockey ... the Brady Tkachuk trade this past weekend to Florida continued the recent trends of (1) migration of players from the haves to the have-nots, and (2) most of that migration emanating from Canada and the northern tier US cities to the teams in the...

    First, kudos to wading in on an off-topic issue you are usually hesitant to engage in. Fair take BTW. Personally, I'm not seeing any race to the middle (yet) but I do hope you and wally are proven right in the long run. More balance is long overdue. That Fox has thrived in recent years says...

    Why, Snives ... why (see you in September?)??

    Yes, good point Larry ... we can only aspire to achieve the high level of discourse on the UMaine thread, where endless speculation as to the final few open schedule slots for the '26/'27 season is only matched by the yearning for re-litigation of the NCAA transgressions of the past emanating...

    Spent the better part of my first 20 years in a community close to Boston ... next 15-ish years in school or working along Rte. 128 ... first home in NH at age 26 just north of Titletown, 9 years later we built our own place on two wooded acres in Effingwoods ... worked along Rte. 495 for...

    Let's put it this way ... for you to pretend you've experienced more Boston than myself, would be like me claiming to have experienced more DC than you. We can drill (much) deeper on those issues if you'd like, but I get the sense from past inquires that you don't want to reveal that kind of...

    Glad that Tortorella lost. Not a big fan of his act to begin with, and even less so after the 2023/2024 NHL regular season finale.

    UNH's Kyle Chauvette will be attending the B's upcoming developmental camp, per today's UL. Also, I did not realize Cup winning Carolina G Brandon Bussi was an undrafted former B's farmhand down in Providence as recently as a year ago. Moral of the story? Sometimes it's all about being in the...

    Don't worry, the hockey will be coming back soon enough. Not much to discuss on topic now, is there? You are free and encouraged to bring the discussion back to college hockey, or hockey in general. We have some folks who do that. Flag and Snives to name two, but they're also entitled to...

    That may have been the case a generation ago, but that is no longer the case. And if your scenario was hanging on by a thread already by 2019, it's changed completely since then. There are not only a growing number of "reverse commuters" who like doing their commutes with relatively clear...

    I figured I'd take this one separately, and it is the question as to why the capital of MA was allowed to remain in Boston. The only thing that is admittedly unrealistic is to make that change now. I agree, there's a 99.99% chance that is not gonna happen. But considering the highly ironic...

    I'd forgotten about "the Fabulous Judy" until I read his obit yesterday. Their kids apparently are behind the "Phantom Gourmet" program. Big step up in class and quality of food from Dad's "Hot Dog Safari". Eddie was also up front when WEEI first went to an all-sports talk format in the...

    Passing of a legend, and a pioneer in the field of sports broadcasting ... Eddie Andelman, the "face" of the groundbreaking sports radio show, "Sports Huddle". Amazing he made it to age 89, given his diet and health, but a life well lived, no doubt ...

    Bingo. And those magic beans don't usually last forever. Look at places like Buffalo and Detroit, who were once eons ahead of Boston a century or less ago. Universities and colleges are not going to be able to sustain the same pace of growth, now that a ceiling seems to have been reached. So...

    As far as the MA-to-NH dynamic goes, I think we know exactly what NH would look like without its proximity to the Merrimack Valley. It's called Vermont. Vermont has less than half the population of NH (as well as Maine, which I believe is about <1% smaller than NH), yet is the same size, so...

    I think if you drill down further, we would find that more conservative types leaving MA are trending towards NH, and more liberal folks leaving MA might be tempted by the Portland ME area, with a smaller segment of the latter possibly drifting as far as Vermont, which is otherwise the...

    The only reason that symbol is being lampooned by Whalers in his post is because in a case of staggering, mind-bending irony, the political party that has made its practice to accuse everyone they disagree with as a "Nazi" has just nominated a candidate with an actual "Nazi" symbol tattooed onto...

    But billionaires these days are hardly exclusive to conservativism, wally. You sound like the hopelessly outdated Robert Reich (lefty Cafe idol), who assumes anyone even the slightest bit to his right is a conservative lol. Is Jeff Bezos MAGA? LOL hardly. How's about ABC with Clinton lackey...
