Here's an article on freshman goaler, Ashley Wilkes, from the local Fairbanks paper. I contains a few minor errors, but is an interesting read none the less.

Does anyone out there know if Brian McCloskey received warnings prior to him being fired? This whole debacle doesn't pass the smell test from here in Michigan................I've known him from his
Brown days and he is one of the most upstanding & honest men I know. What happened? What can possibly happen ON THE BENCH.??......it just doesn't make any sense without hearing more......

No, Moe Bradley transfered (at least academically) to UMass-Boston. However her radiant visage is often seen on campus in Durham. The equally ebullient Jenn Gilligan has transfered to Syracuse, matriculating for the spring semester.

The author of that post could be on to the most amazing thing in the history of the world and it wouldn't matter because I have no idea what the hell they're talking about.

I had the same reaction. No wonder, considering the nick name of the poster.

HUX and I have both spoken to said goalies before, during, and after their decisions to leave. When faced with will I play, or will I open the door, a lot of goalies will try to find a spot that needs a goalie.
Since some of us are close to the program, and know extenuating circumstances behind such decisions, we are qualified at least to respond, but will generally bite our tongues before the details spill out, because said players deserve some privacy, and a chance to move on.

Coming up to catch the Providence vs UNH game on Friday - where is a good spot to eat in Portsmouth where we are staying any recommendations?
Hope to see some of our UNH friends in Durham Friday or in the Leary Friends of the Friar Room on Saturday night at the New Schneider Arena at PC. We are looking forward to a great series.

Portsmouth has more great places to eat than you could visit in a month! What are you looking for? I'm sure we can steer you in the right direction.
Unfortunately, I won't be at either game - playing in a tournament upstate, and times conflict, but HUX and most of the crowd will be there.

Three Former Skaters Represent Team USA at 2014 Olympics

Three Former Skaters Represent Team USA at 2014 Olympics
DURHAM, N.H. – USA Hockey announced Wednesday that a pair of former University of New Hampshire standouts will be competing at the 2014 Winter Olympics with the selection of James van Riemsdyk to the U.S. Olympic Men’s Ice Hockey Team and Kacey Bellamy to the U.S. Olympic Women’s Ice Hockey Team.
Those announcements increased the total number of former UNH student-athletes at the 2014 Olympics to three, as Katey Stone was proclaimed head coach of the U.S. Olympic Women’s Ice Hockey Team in June 2012.
van Riemsdyk was named to the U.S. Olympic Men’s Ice Hockey Team in an announcement following the conclusion of the NHL Winter Classic at Michigan Stadium, where he scored a goal to help the Toronto Maple Leafs record a 3-2 victory against the Detroit Red Wings. He is one of 14 forwards on the U.S. roster.
van Riemsdyk, just the sixth Wildcat in program history to be selected to a men’s ice hockey Olympic team, played two years at UNH before heading to the National Hockey League. In 2007-08, he played in 31 games while registering 11 goals and 23 assists. Then in 2008-09, he totaled 17 goals and 23 assists in 36 games – the 40 points marked a team high and the 23 assists tied for the team lead – and was named a Hockey East Second Team All-Star and to the All-New England Team. van Riemsdyk compiled a two-year total of 74 points (28g, 46a) in 67 games as a Wildcat.
van Riemsdyk has donned a Team USA jersey in six previous tournaments and won a gold medal at the 2006 Men’s Under-18 World Championship. He also competed at the Men’s World Championship in 2011, World Junior Championship in 2007, ’08 and ’09 as well as the Men’s Under-18 World Championship in 2007, when he won silver.
In the 2007 NHL Draft, he was selected second overall by the Philadelphia Flyers and currently plays with Toronto. He has 14 goals and 15 assists in 39 games this season and five-year NHL totals of 79 goals and 81 assists in 283 games.
The New Jersey native joins the company of Rube Bjorkman, Adrien Plavsic, Bob Miller, Jeff Lazaro and Steve Leach as being the only Wildcats in program history to play at the Olympics. All but Plavsic (Canada) represented the U.S. at the Games.
Bellamy was selected from the 25 players on the 2013-14 U.S. Women’s National Team, which has been competing in the Bring on the World Tour and practicing in Massachusetts since early September. The women’s Olympic roster was announced during the second intermission of the NHL Winter Classic. Bellamy is one of seven defensemen on the U.S. roster.
It will be the second Olympics for Bellamy, who won silver with the U.S. during the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. The defenseman also helped the U.S. win gold at the World Championships in 2011 and 2013 as well as silver in 2012. Since first skating for Team USA at the 2006 Four Nations Cup, Bellamy has compiled 38 points (five goals, 33 assists) in 93 games.
In her four-year career at UNH (2006-09), Bellamy amassed 27 goals and 80 assists for 107 points in 143 games. She ranks third on UNH’s leaderboard among defensemen in both assists and points – the school benchmark for points is 108. Bellamy ranked third in the nation in defensemen scoring (0.80 points per game) as a senior en route to being named to the RBK All-America First Team. Her Hockey East accolades included First Team All-Star, Tournament MVP and All-Tournament Team; she was also honored as UNH’s Jim Urquhart Student-Athlete of the Year.
Bellamy led UNH to four consecutive Hockey East regular season and tournament titles, as well as four straight appearances in the NCAA tournament with two trips to the Frozen Four.
Bellamy is the fifth UNH alum to compete on a U.S. Olympic Women’s Ice Hockey Team. Karyn Bye (’93), Colleen Coyne (’93) Tricia Dunn (’96) and Sue Merz (’94) all skated for the 1998 gold-medal team that was inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame in 2009. Bye and Merz also skated on the 2002 Olympic team, while Dunn competed again in both ’02 and ’06.
Stone, who is the first woman to lead a U.S. Olympic women’s ice hockey team, was a four-year letter winner in both lacrosse and ice hockey at UNH. She was a member of the 1985 national championship team in lacrosse, a two-time All-American, and team captain in 1989. In ice hockey, Stone captained her team in 1989, and her team won the Eastern College Athletic Conference Championship in 1986 and 1987.
Stone went on to coach Harvard University’s women’s ice hockey team and is the winningest coach in the history of Division I women’s ice hockey with 402 wins in 19 seasons. Her resume includes nine NCAA tournament appearances, including five trips to the Frozen Four, and the 1999 AWCHA national championship.
Stone led the U.S. national team to a gold medal at the Four Nations Cup and a silver medal at the International Ice Hockey Women’s World Championships in 2009. She was named the United States College Hockey Online Coach of the Year in 2004-05 and is president of the American Women’s Hockey Coaches Association.
Stone, Bellamy and van Riemsdyk will travel to Sochi, Russia, for the 2014 Games that take place Feb. 7-23. The women’s team begins play Feb. 8 vs. Finland while the men’s first game is Feb. 13 against Slovakia.
