The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways.

We are hoping that this new platform will prove to be faster and more reliable. Please feel free to explore its features.
Congratulations to Parsons, Mantei and McQueen for being named to the HEA All Rookie Team. Parsons was the only unanimous choice which makes sense despite the fact that he only started about half of the games. PC had 3 players, Northeastern and Merrimack 2 and BC 1. An interesting distribution...
Bennett Schimek was recruited along with his brother Will. Will was a dman who came in January the year before Bennett started. I believe Bennett was the primary recruiting target and was very good. Will did not get very much ice time and spent his graduate year at Alaska instead of PC. I...
Very nice win vs UConn who have a solid team. Parsons was the right choice as he played an excellent game as PC was outshot and he kept his cool under pressure all game. Will miss a key Dman in Centrella who blossomed this season as possibly the best on the team. He has reminded me of Jacob...
I would personally like to see Svedeback get the start to recognize his commitment to stay to graduate and to encourage more of that. PC has a very good record of developing players and that is showing up nicely this year. I remember how a core group of outstanding seniors propelled the...
Thanks for the generous input from visiting posters, there are some classy contributors on the fan forum.
For Providence, this regular season victory was a big deal as the first ever for the school. A great story for the way they responded to their regular goalie being badly injured just before...
It was an epic bust vs UNH tonight. Very nice crowd, pep band etc. Never expected to feel so deflated on a night they clinched a tie for first place in the regular season. The seats were empty when BU beat BC to hand us that result but the outright championship required one more point which...
Actually for the past two years I have been holding my breath hoping that Zlax would not reappear so I haven’t noticed such a negative poster since he passed on. Hope this isn’t some clever trap to lure him/her back. I spent way too much time responding to that nonsense back then and have felt...
Shout out to Malinoski for a hat trick Saturday, with some beautiful tick tack toe passing for the first two that put their goalie out of position. Nice pass from behind the net (Friday) to McQueen out front as well. Looked like the larger ice surface gave them a little trouble this weekend but...
Very glad they came back to win today’s game. MCCoy made a great shot from the blue line for the GWG late in the game. Simpson had only 18 shots on goal but played very well with excellent positioning all game. Extremely lopsided SOG differential both nights but Zacker looked like a really good...
Thanks for this great response. I appreciate the succinct explanation and the alternative what ifs, says something about the value of a good liberal arts education too!
What a nice comeback last night. Malinoski ties it in the second after tremendous pressure by PC that seemed to finally overwhelm the UNH goalie. The intermission interview with him was revealing when he said that if we can put that kind of pressure on them in the 3rd they won’t be able to...

Nate mentioned the Saturday scheduling disadvantage during a CHN podcast earlier this week. Would like to see more midweek games and fewer back to back Friday/Saturday games which he said the NHL seldom schedules. He mentioned that NCAA hockey is also missing the chance to better market the...
I think something special has occurred since the new year, with the entire team pulling in a coordinated fashion. Considering all the changes going on in college sports, and at PC sports in particular, this current streak feels reminiscent of the old school spirit of amateur athletics. Would...
I think they made lemonade out of the lemons they were dealt when Svedeback was badly injured during the 2nd Alaska game. The 2nd game seemed to illustrate what happens when you play with a lack of focus but might have kickstarted a new team wide mindset that was evident on the bench in the...
Just an amazing run. Probably the best January performance ever given the strong competition, setting one PC record after another. After losing Svedeback there was a chance this was a lost season. Instead an amazing confluence of many players stepping up with peak performances giving their full...
Seemed to me that BC players were doing that after the whistle nonsense to throw PC off its game as PC was playing better and faster. It worked to an extent because the refs didn’t call much which encouraged more of it. Watching the ESPN+ on demand coverage when I got home, I thought the...
You could be right based on the reasoning you mention. Did note the UMass goalie was 1-1 on the weekend as the 1 goal against game was the GWG in a loss while the 1 goal given up by Parsons was inconsequential in our 6-1 win and was during a long 5-3 man advantage by Maine.
