I thought the call was good for the portions that I heard. Unfortunately I had a couple of interruptions so I didn't hear everything that was said. There should be a recording available soon. I believe the call lasted about 30-40 minutes and would have lasted longer if there were more questions. I think they said there would be another call next week.

Oh, Norm said the practice rink is a go and they're ready to start the bid process.

I had to cut out early, did they mention where the practice rink is being built on campus?

I don't believe Norm mentioned location. I always thought the plan was to build it behind/connected to the Tsongas. I'm not sure if that is accurate.

Yeah I assume it would be this piece of land which is owned by the University....

I am no Title 9 Expert but I wonder if they put down another sheet of ice if that gives the school a shot at starting a D1 Woman's Program

Thanks for this Bob.

Quick recap from my side:

Non-Conf Schedule: McGill (Exhibition), Road trip to Alabama, Duluth at home, Turkey Leg (Bemidji and Miami), at Mariucci Classic tournament, at Arizona State for 2.
Bazin is keeping an eye on possible transfers.
6 recruits coming in (Bob, you have the positions right, just had a type on the number).
Practice rink is waiting for bids to develop it. The virus is causing a delay, obviously.
Interesting comment from Coach that he hopes one day that there's a gag order put in for coaches at all levels. No talking to the refs at all.

The next call will be Friday at Noon with Associate Head Coach Andy Jones.

Like seeing teams take trips to Alabama. Good for college hockey.

The only thing going to Huntsville is the flights getting there. I used to travel for work down to Huntsville and
the connections going and coming from there can be tough. Most flights from Boston go through either Charlotte or DC which
are very busy and congested airports and the flights are delayed quite often. I wonder if there is a season, will there
be any fans to the games.

Are you happy with recruiting at your school

Our recruiting has been good overall. It can get better. See NU and UMass' classes the last couple of years, and current commitments for proof of that.

Anyway, apparently UVM has chosen one of the Winnipeg Jets assistants for their next coach.

Funny, I never have problems with DC.

Not exactly going to get the headlines, but Congratulations to Men's Club Basketball for being named the National Champions.

Funny, I never have problems with DC.

When I went from Boston to Huntsville through Reagan National, to connect I would have to take a bus to go from one terminal to another and then sometimes
take another bus that would bring you out to the tarmac to board the plane. You could avoid the 1st bus by walking but you would exit security and
then would have to go through security again to enter the next terminal.

A little late, but congratulations to former assistant coach Cam Ellsworth.

Ellsworth wins Edward Jeremiah Award as top D-III men’s coach
