    The Effingwoods Hockey Almanac - "Won't Get Fooled Again" edition

    The EHA - the news side of WIS - has learned from multiple sources close to the process that current HEA commissioner Steve "Commish Nigel" Metcalf is in advanced discussions with his former employer UNH to leave his current job as commissioner of the league, and will likely be returning to UNH...

    UNH Wildcats 2021/2022 - Return of the Champions of October?

    Inspired by Sinvely65 at the end of the offseason/preseason thread ... no one else has stepped up to start the new season thread (unless I missed something?) so here goes. UNH has started off the season with two wins over Union, which will now be followed up by the program's trip to the desert...

    WIS Productions Presents ... The Hockey East Offseason Comedy Special

    We're less than a month into the offseason, and the weather seems to have taken a good turn recently. So the traffic on the usual threads has understandably begun to trail off. With that in mind, it occurred to me that in these uber-PC times, we still yearn for comedy as a tie that binds us...

    UMass and the Carvel/Barr transformation - biggest HEA disruptors since ... ???

    I don't think there's any question that what the Carvel/Barr team has accomplished in Amherst over the last half-decade has made them and their program the biggest disruptors in Hockey East in the last generation. As discussed in the UNH thread, I daresay the Carvel/Barr transformation can only...

    Manhunt Begins as Local Man Goes Missing for 100 Days

    WAKEFIELD (WIS) - A local man with a prominent pseudo-leadership role in a regional college hockey alliance has recently been reported to local officials as "missing" after failing to report for work at his job for 100 days in a row. Reporters from the Effingwoods Hockey Almanac learned...

    COVID-19 - Part 2

    After some early turbulence, the last thread closed with some sane, rational discussion. Big decisions coming up on the horizon. Let's keep it going, right here. Thanks to all who have been contributing to a marked increase in the quality of discussion, and for taking the temperature down...

    WIS Productions Presents ... The Effingwoods Hockey Almanac

    As mentioned on the latest UNH thread, but with the genesis being towards the tail end of the prior UNH thread … events over the last week have provided me with the impetus to accelerate a new project I've been tinkering with for this coming off-season. Tonight's launch of The Effingwoods...

    WIS Productions Presents ... Once Upon a Time in Hockey East

    There's been some discussion of late regarding how things aren't quite the same in Hockey East these days, and how the league's good ol' days have long since passed, back at around the turn of the century (and millennium). Which got me to thinking … and that's always a dangerous proposition...

    UNH Wildcats 2019 Offseason - How Much Progress Did We Really Make This Past Season?

    Just wanted to put a bow on this now-completed season, which was Coach Souza's first season fully in charge. We saw some good things, and some not-so-good things over the last 6 or so months. Just thinking things over a bit in the last few days, and before we turn our complete attention to...

    UNH Wildcats 2017/2018 - Umile's Last Stand - The Grand Finale

    At long last, it's time to bring the excitement and anticipation built up over these last three seasons to a rousing finish, and with the previous season thread all but spent, I've set things up here for the stretch run. Two more losses this past weekend to UConn have extended the 'Cats'...

    UNH Wildcats 2016-17 -- We're Going to Have a Hockey Season Here!!

    OK then - the people have spoken. There's been a lot of discussion in the offseason about medium-term and long-term issues that are currently swirling around the UNH Hockey program, but there is the simple issue of the upcoming 2016/2017 season to get on with. And after what was Coach Umile's...

    UNH Wildcats 2016 Offseason Thread - Searching for Direction

    OK Felger and 'dc - youze guys had your chance. We need to get a move on with the offseason thread!! Anyway ... to be brief, it looks like Coach Umile will be entering the 2nd year of his 3 year reduced "lifetime" contract this season, and after a shockingly sparse 11 win season, the "March...

    UNH Wildcats 2015-2016 (Part Three) - Living in Interesting Times

    My, how quickly time flies when you're having *fun* ... and as we reach the stretch run of another season of UNH Hockey the optimism that oozed from the program after a promising finish to last season has evaporated into "more of the same" disappointment, disgust and (perhaps worst of all)...

    WIS Productions Presents "Hockey East 'What IF' ... Shawn Walsh Beats Cancer?"

    WIS Productions Presents "Hockey East 'What IF' ... Shawn Walsh Beats Cancer?" Author's preface - I'm hoping this will be the first of several similar posts, in which certain "What if?" scenarios are discussed and explored, in the hopes that genuine discussion and debate will follow about how...

    UNH Wildcats 2015-2016 (Part Two) - Managing Decreasing Expectations

    With the "Part One" thread nearing its capacity (a little sooner than expected), I figured I'd take advantage of a relatively quiet day and set this follow-up thread afloat. Suffice to say that there were question marks added into the "Champions of December" thread for a reason, and we've...

    UNH Wildcats 2015-2016 (Part One) - Return of the "Champions of December"??

    We're only a week away from dropping the puck on another UNH Hockey season, with the exhibition game next Sunday at The Whitt getting things underway. The 'Cats finished last season strongly - actually, surprisingly they've been at their best towards the end of both of their last two seasons -...

    UNH Wildcats 2015 Offseason - Future Planning ...or Just Rearranging the Deck Chairs?

    Just saw the last thread has been closed, so we might as well morph into the midst of the semi-compelling events of the last couple of weeks, and continue to ask questions and speculate about the future of the UNH Men's Hockey program. No big lead-in this time around ... we'll save that for...

    UNH Wildcats 2014/2015 - Wait 'Til Next Year!!!

    Since everyone seems to be hesitant to move away from the "Maybe Dick" 2014 postseason thread, I'll step up and get this one started. I don't think there's any question the upcoming UNH Men's Hockey season promises to be quite a different experience for long-time fans of the program. It's been...

    The Fallacy of HE "Supremacy" - BC, The Seven Dwarfs and The Least of the East

    The Fallacy of HE "Supremacy" - BC, The Seven Dwarfs and The Least of the East With another D-1 college hockey season in the books, and another ECAC team taking their first-ever D-1 national title, it's time to reflect on that time-honored assumption that gets bandied about on this forum WAY...
