Yes, EJ Brophy did his dead-level best to kill the program, but UAH has fared better with worse talent, even under Corbett. I have alumni complain to me about schemes. I have boosters telling me that they don't know where the program is headed.

    UAH needs a change. I don't think that doing it during the season is worthwhile or merited, but ... good Lord, UAH needs a change.

    After last year I thought Corbett was turning it around. Sigh.

    From ADN:

    "According to NCAA, the (UAF) hockey team used ineligible players in every game played from the 2007-08 season to the 2010-11 season. Over that span, the wins and ties will all become losses. 4 wins and 2 ties came against rival UAA".

    UAF is 56-86-12 vs. UAA.

      I can't watch it any longer, don't sit in the press box/volunteer, and will not be donating any money either. The turnovers are unbecoming, fundamentals non-existent, and there is little hint of goal scoring. Recruiting has been terrible. New rink or not, how are we out-recruited by Army, Holy Cross, pick anyone else. Corbett is not the only one who needs to go, there is another common denominator.

          I’m looking forward to heading down to Huntsville for the series this weekend. Besides the Space and Rocket Center, what are some other cant-miss items to put on my itinerary? I’m definitely going to squeeze in a bit of golf if I can as well.

            Sorry, I had family in town or I would've met up with you and gotten you a personal NASA tour.

                I hope that these aren't the program parameters that the school expects the boosters to support going forward.

                    UAH is now 1-19-4 and picked up just the one point in Anchorage. They're eleven league points out of 8th (UAA has the tiebreaker) with ten games left.

                    They finish with Michigan Tech and Alaska, at Lake Superior and Minnesota State, and with Bowling Green. I don't think that there are 11 points there. I'm not even sure that there are seven points to pass Ferris State to get into 9th spot.

                    After a run of two seasons where they won 30% of their games, they've won nine games in two seasons. The Chargers have sustained 20+ losses in 15 seasons: two in 1989-90 and 1990-91 (UAH's first independent D-I experience) and all but one season since 2006-07 (UAH's season in 2009-10 that included just 29 regular season contests).

                    We face a conundrum, the same that we did in the fall of 2012: does the school support the program when the backing of the boosters is uncertain, and do the backers support the program when the backing of the school is uncertain?

                    https://www.uscho.com/stats/history/...key/2019-2020/ — would you want that team in your conference? Northern Michigan, the lone victim of the Chargers this year, might inform you that, nay, you might not.

                    I just don't want for September to come around and the boosters to be getting emails about donations for the umpteenth locker room renovation while the coaches work with bare bones budgets for salary, travel, and especially recruiting travel. I hope that EJ Brophy didn't try to wreck every varsity athletic program at UAH like he did to hockey.

                    Our coaches deserve better.
                    Our players deserve better.
                    Our boosters deserve betting.
                    The fans deserve better.
                    The townies and curious bystanders deserve better.

                      Gotcha. I was picturing some demands from the University for donors. I don't blame you. UAH has shown zero institutional support for hockey in well over a decade. It's a real shame.
