    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    Not to mention how many athletes have been vilified over the years for trying to make some money on the side. Or all the silly things the NCAA tagged Maine for back in the mid '90s. It's worth the chuckle to go back read some of those violations now, especially with the NCAA citing "lack of...

    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    If it was in Section G you should have taken it and become one of my neighbors. With the Nadeau fam gone, there will no doubt be a bunch of new STH faces in my area this season.

    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    Based on the same Extra Points data from a couple pages ago it looks like the football numbers are as follows: 2024: Expenses: $5.5M Revenue: $6.1M 2025: Expenses: $5.8M Revenue: $6.9M So... maybe football is more profitable than we thought?

    Sokolovskii ranked 22nd overall in the 2026 Draft Guide for Elite Prospects. They have him ranked as the #1 Hardest Hitter and #4 Best Shutdown Defenseman in this class.

    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    McKinnon signed a USHL Standard Player Development Agreement a couple weeks ago, so it sounds like he'll be back in Youngstown for 26/27. I think the rest of the players you listed are all pretty safe bets to come in, Campbell might be the wild card. As for a goalie I wonder if they saw enough...

    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    Most of us would just prefer football (and their larger alum base) support their program, without siphoning money away from the hockey program. If hockey wants to remain a power player in the nation, they need to keep as much of that revenue as possible. If that means the football team need to...

    Haven't gotten full details yet but 50th anniversary stuff will be happening this season.

    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    While we're on the topic of scheduling, I'd imagine it's pretty likely that Maine will have a home game on 2/5/27 this season as that is the date Alfond opened 50 years ago.

    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    Not only the cross country flight but the historic rep of Alfond being a tough barn to win in on the road doesn't exactly make teams line up to make a trek that could hurt them in the NPI. I would be more than happy to continue the current arrangement with Quinnipiac, but I'd like to add...

    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    Cory Larose announced as part of the 2026 UMaine Sports Hall of Fame class. Second player from the 98/99 team to get inducted (Steve Kariya was the first). One of my favorite players from that era.

    If that is the case Barr's gotta own that one. Not sure how anyone can objectively look at Voronin on tape and see his underlying numbers and think you can risk pushing him a year without him going to another program. With how freely players can move around these days you can't really use that...

    I mean he's better than anyone coming in from the portal, so this one really hurts.

    Now we just need a Standbrook statue out front of Alfond as well

    CHL to NCAA Recruiting Megathread

    Portland would do well with a Q team. The ECHL Mariners averaged about 4,500+ per game this season (73% capacity) and those numbers have grown each of the last 6 seasons. That per game average would put them 5th among all Q teams behind Quebec, Halifax, Newfoundland and Moncton.

    Most people assumed he wouldn't make the cut, but it looks like Alex Bosland has decommitted. LINK

    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    Also had some PP1 QB time his freshman year and did well in that role. Won't need to do that right off next season, but can never have too many guys to run a PP. Pair him with someone defensively responsible and to let him do what he does best. Will likely need to put some weight on but seems...

    Too late to bring Zayne too? ;)

    Nailed this one... Seemed like a really obvious fit. Glad he's not staying in Hockey East like Marques.

    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    Surprisingly my game used collection is pretty small and these are the first jerseys I've picked up. I have Alfie's glove from the 1999 season and a couple player sticks. I grabbed a row of 3 chair backs from the renovations last summer and even snagged the old Hockey East Championship banner...

    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    Yep was 5th or 6th in line this morning. By the time I left the jerseys it looked like an absolute cluster-eff. Was really hoping they would have some of the track suits, but no luck there.
