UAH Hockey 2015-16: The next step

Re: UAH Hockey 2015-16: The next step

Makes sense. Champagne in there keeps things balanced. Maybe Carlson will find his way into the lineup at forward in a bottom six role on a more regular basis...

His role this year to get in 20+ games is to fill in the mix as needed. He brings presence, a solid shot, decent hockey sense, good wheels, and a willingness to hit people. There's a place for him.

Lines are up: http://uahchargers.com/documents/201...t_MTU_11_6.pdf

Interesting that Wilcox is sticking in the lineup and Gorowsky gets to move to LW. His forechecking will really help that line's defensive responsibilities. They will get tested against Tech! Also, Matt is listed first. I didn't make the coaches' luncheon today, so I don't know who will start.

Note: Of the 18 skaters in the lineup tonight, only two (Madison Dunn and Cam Knight) don't have points so far this season. We're a long way from 13-14's goal-a-game pace!

Chris Heisenberg is reporting that D-Man Connor James from Spruce Grove (AJHL) has committed to UAH.

Thanks, Bill.

It'll be interesting to see if the boys internalize the lessons from last night. They were great for the first 10:00 last night; after then the cohesion went away and they appeared to get tentative. This year's Tech squad isn't as talented as last year's, but they still have speed and hands and will slice you up given the chance.

Upside: Carmine Guerriero had his best game of the season. That's about it.

Been lurking for a while. We were in town for a college visit ... our not-yet-a-freshman is most interested in MTU and UAH, and confessed to being really conflicted throughout the game.

Me, not so much. :-) Great fun in spite of the score.

Bonus: I learned a new word in Portuguese.

Both are good schools. Tech has more hockey history. Huntsville is a much nicer place to be in the winter.

Go Chargers.

Don't forget about the male:female ratio!

Don't forget about the male:female ratio!

She knows. but I'm pretty sure she yelled louder than I did when UAH scored. When in Rome maybe, but I'm hoping.

Academically, of course I'm satisfied either way.

Chris Heisenberg is reporting that you guys picked up a commitment from a big forward, Nelson Gadoury, from Camrose of the AJHL. He's a 95 birth date, so he would be for next season.

Ex-Quinnipiac recruit. Huge PIM's guy.

Totals the last 4 years not including this one. 178, 148, 128, 108

He'll fit right in!

Between Gadoury and Connor James, UAH is probably 2/3 done with recruiting. We have to find a replacement for Carmine.

Do you think that this means Beaulieu will spend another year in juniors? With the addition of Larson and now Gadoury, we'll have 16 forwards next year not including walk-on James Block. Beaulieu would make 17. He's a 96 so he could certainly go back.

AND the bigger question, you think Carmine leaves after this year?

I hadn't really thought about Beaulieu, but yeah, maybe he goes back.

As for Carmine: his birthday is 02/20/1992. He played in the CCHL the day after his 21st birthday (a 38-save shutout) and seven more of the final ten games in the Hawkesbury Hawks' 2012-13 regular season. It's my understanding that the school is going to appeal for a fourth year, but I don't expect one to be forthcoming.
