    UNH Hockey Off Season Thread 2026

    NHL teams are already well into their training camps and exhibition schedules, and there's no indication that JvR has signed even a PTO, anywhere. Gotta think it's finally over. I believe TvR is currently in camp with the Penguins.

    Just read the latest in The Athletic on the ASU situation, which sounds grim and paints an ugly picture of their preseason training methods this past summer. Apologies if this is behind a paywall for readers here, I somehow got one of those "Free Trial" opportunities, hoping it carries forward...

    The Hockey East preseason poll always smacks of pro-Boston bias AND recency bias, so no surprises here. FWIW Merrimack winning last year WAS a fluke. MS7 is gonna be out of a job if he doesn't get the team to the Boston phase of the HEA Tourney. I mean, if Merrimack can do it (and win it)...

    Sparkee is already in midseason form lol ... hopefully with this likely being MS7's final season, we can appoint a real D-1 coach and resurrect this rivalry where both teams were playing meaningful games against each other on a regular basis, like in the good ol' days. Seems like just...

    Barry Melrose was a former Dead Wing, won a Calder Cup (AHL) while in Glens Falls, and was a great friend to college hockey. One of the good guys.

    Shocking (not) ... just the last in a growing line of B level prospects using the current UNH program as a placeholder while awaiting better options to develop. I know it was a somewhat different world back then ... but UNH rarely encountered these situations over the first 20+ years of Coach...

    That would seem to be a "low hanging fruit" relatively inexpensive opportunity for the new AD to freshen things up around an increasingly stale program.

    Are you inquiring specifically about Colton, or are you talking in a more general sense? I don't recall there being much public discussion or disclosure about what his two most recent predecessors were making at UNH (i.e. Rich and Blue Skies). As far as I am concerned, more information is...

    Interesting article from Alex Hall in today's Union Leader. Link below should go to an alternate site where there are no paywall issues ... https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/unh-athletic-director-colton-committed-035900110.html Few comments in there from MS7, and Hall references about how...

    The vaunted "senior first line/checking line" strikes again, complete with awarding the C to an injury-riddled fourth line type with a sympathetic backstory. The exact moment when the Umile Era "jumped the shark" into freefall. There were two more years to follow, but this was the beginning of...

    Couldn't get at the article due to paywall restrictions Felgie, but some local business acquaintances have recently told me how the Chittenden County DA race (Democrat primary) between the "progressive" incumbent and a more by-the-book challenger from a neighboring county has seen VT's...

    Good to see they're keeping MS7 off the mean streets of Portsmouth during the winter break, while helping him pad his CV for his next job

    What a concept ... a D-1 Head Coach taking some time to talk about his job and offer insights into how he approaches doing things. Amazing. (y) I hope this news does not spread down to Titletown, I'd hate to see MS7 have his 6 month vacation interrupted with some fan liaison malarkey ...

    Roller hockey at the professional level was briefly a thing around the turn of the century, especially in the mid-1990's. And James Richmond wasn't even close to the best UNH alum to strap on a pair of in-line skates and give it a shot in RHI. One of our illustrious associate head coaches was...

    Actually, I think you nailed it. I was discussing this earlier today (off board) with another regular poster, and we called it the "Save MS7's Job" project lol 😂 FWIW ... I doubt the new AD will be as gullible as his predecessor was, so like you said, at the very least, it's a nice boost to...
