The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways.
Please note that you can switch between light and dark modes by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right of the main menu bar.
We are hoping that this new platform will prove to be faster and more reliable. Please feel free to explore its features.
Now that I’ve got the right season, welcome to you hundreds of Crimson diehards who missed the first edition of this year’s thread. In it I called attention to the small incoming class (4) and the potential gem that it is bringing with it (Stepnowski). The presence of this NEPSAC star will...
Thanks! I would try to correct it but I think thread titles are uneditable, impregnable, fixed. This is probably for a good reason, to keep enthusiasts from changing them mid-season to reflect reality, as in going from "This is Our Year!" to "Fire the Coach!" . . . I'll get up to date with a new...
Attention! When I wrote Stepnowski = All-NEPSAC x 2 (which is not child's play), I really meant NEPSAC Player of the Year x 2. That's the stuff dreams are made of.
The smallest incoming class in memory means that three things are doubtless true:
1. Bellamy missed out on a favored D.
2. Disirregardless, Bellamy is confident that the current D can get the job done, especially with the return of Maria Pape, a scratch last season.
3. With the addition of...
The real takeaway for me is that both individual development and team-building ethos are put at risk by the portal. The NFL itself (or a whistle blowing few) are saying that college sports are not the winners here, especially not the putative student/athletes. I think most of us would agree...
News from the Top of the Food Chain
. . . of player development, portal “clowns,” “whacks” and the school that has no need of the “fiasco” (guess who . . . hahaha!)
Maybe the portal will prove to have a shelf life across all sports.

Q: Thanks for the post thirdtime's . . . , but no comment on "It's hard not to get choked up" ?
A: Wow. Don't know how I missed that! I say that if you're currently a PWHL parent who remembers 5 am carpooling your squirt to practice, get choked up and have a good cry. On the other hand, if...
Bring the FF back to Boston --- and throw in the quarters --- and resolve the perennial problems that plague this tournament.
So:
1. No more random rinks. Conte and Agannis have plenty of seats, great sight lines, and hot dogs no worse than most.
2. A truly neutral site, with no danger of...
Of course I can't resist a comment on play-by-play guys, despite earlier vows. It was maddening to see the yammer yammer yammer style go national. Was this to introduce new fans to the tedium of endless player résumés? The only action he called, other than when "the dangerous Edwards" or "the...
Those of you at Ridder would not have heard Dan Hamann's description of the first two Gopher periods as a "microchasm" of their late season woes. A great coinage, whether intended or not!
TIME OUT, THREADNIKS!
Out of the blue I just got a video of my 13-yr-old grandson and his school band playing the BC fight song at last night's hoops game at Conte, the season's last, alas.
They were awesome. It was awesome. (Some ECAC bands could use some of their polish . . . for real.)
Please raise your hand if last fall you picked March 1, 2026, as the day the Crimson would be one win away from Lake Placid.
Thread for Year Four? HARVARD 2026-27: ON TRACK
Wish Harvard had a fourth D who wouldn't get smoked by Issy Wunder at 2:14 in the first. I'd put Kasica back on the blue line and forget running four lines.
----- SLU's second goal a textbook case of screening the goalie, only in this case Tuffy was completely screened by her own D, with no other player within miles of the net.
----- MacDonald's GWG another case of playoff puck hijinx, with a deflection sending the puck ten feet in the air...
Union 2 --- Clarkson 1 F
Special. At Cheel. First time since forever. Trick shot collaboration between shooter and goalie. Details at ECAC thread.

A history of hatred and/or The Athletic at its tabloid best?
