I watched this team since 10 years ago. They had nothing. No star players, average coaching(I guess). They have everything now. Players, coaching, system. You name it they have it. Despite, no offense, it's Lowell. Don't tell me it's the campus, the rink, anything. This program is head and shoulders above everyone in HE. Fact not opinion. It's just very impressive the way this program wins. Not a Lowell fan here just a hockey fan. Stating the obvious. Congrats UML and all your fans

no, its us. we willed this one along. Yes, we got lucky with Norm and Marty but those don't happen... hell, we don't have a hockey program right now without those in this program who cared for years. Most if not all of us never put on one skate for this program but we're the ones pushing to make things work.

One would think so. But, of course, that statement is made in a vacuum. We don't have privy to the information that goes into facing a decision of that magnitude. There could be family issues, quality of life, location, financial, desire to even coach professionals. Although it seems that money is the #1 priority these days, there are exceptions. But no doubt there could be some interesting speculation in the off-season, for sure.
What may very well be more important though is the culture that he has established there. If he does leave, who will replace him and will that person be able to maintain the level of quality that he has implemented.

NHL for sure I would think and no one could blame him. Glad Bruins have turned things around. Hope they give their coach an extension because I think Norm has been rumored to be on their radar. What bigger programs are looking right now. BC? I would have a problem with that, but money often talks. I hope if it ever comes to money, State U can muster it up. Remember Norm went to school at Lowell and they gave him his 1st D1 head job.

Crazy how this program went from the island of misfit coaches (Crowder, Timmay, Blaise) to Norm.

He is a class act and a terrific coach. RiverHawks are tough to play against especially at this time of year. Have a feeling that Harvard will be in the same regional as you guys.

Wouldn't particularly want to see Harvard unless it was in Chicago, but at this point bring anybody on. We have to beat who we have to beat.

You can argue rather easily Harvard and UML are the two best teams in the country at this pojnt

Actually Crowder was great for us (not so good for NU). Two trips to NCAAs in the mid-1990s ended in losses in regional finals. Almost had two Frozen Four appearance with him.
