Adrian Chapter IV: A Legacy of Firsts from the Class of 2011…..

Re: Adrian Chapter IV: A Legacy of Firsts from the Class of 2011…..

Well it appears that you know a great deal more about Adrian than I do. I have seen Adrian play three times in the past year. So maybe I can enlighten you..
First of all there is allways hard hits and elbow's here and there. Someone get's boarded, it get nailed in the corner and you come up angry in the heat of the moment. That's hockey, so be it. Where in any sport is it acceptable to spit in your face repeatedly thru the game. This was done to get a reaction from the other team, to lose control. create chaos. Teams like Norberts, Norwhich, Oswego play hard but they don't play stupid. You know NCAA rules about fighting. You get a game misconduct and you are out the next game. They play with discipline. Adrian played both games like goons.
Sticks up the crotch, elbow's in the back of the head, a punch when ever they could.
Saturday nite a SNC player went after an Adrian player near the Adrian bench, he ended up over the Adrian board, while head hanging over and defenseless # 23 for Adrian took his stick from the bench and jammed it on the back of the SNC player. He should have benn thrown out of the game and got a two minute. roughing.
In your judgement hockey is tougher in the west. Actually hockey is tough all over, it apparently it is played dirtier at Adrian.
I think somebody should stick to watching Womens hockey

All very creative gentlemen.. Still you can' t explain why Adrian's coach would put men out on the ice to play like babies. Men don' t spit in their oppositions faces. Do you remember Rafael Palmieri spitting in the umpire's face. The whole sporting industry , not just baseball condemned his behavior
But you go ahead and support your team just the way we all do. The only difference is that we would not accept that garbage from our own teams

To all Adrian fans. To make it to the championship game of a NCAA frozen four in four short year's is a statement in itself. coach Fogarty is to be acknowledged for this accomplishment. He was the mentor that put this program together. That being said, after watching 47 year's of college hockey I have never seen a dirtier hockey team than Adrian College. We all know that hockey is a tough sport. Adrian has very good hockey player's, but they do not have to play hockey the way we witnessed last weekend. For the people that we're in Minneapolis last week it was a disgrace to see an NCAA frozen four div 111 played out like that. St. Norbert, Norwich, Oswego showed respect for the game we all love. Adrian played the way hockey was played 35 year's ago. Goon hockey in the NCAA was suppose to be over with. If Mr Dupree the head ref had done his job Adrian would have filled the penalty box all weekend.
It is understandable that Adrian parent's and fans want to relish in a good year. UNfortunately the team disrespects the game we all love.
Coach Fogarty played his college day's at Colgate. He sure did not get educated to this kind of hockey there.

I have seen this Adrian team play several times, including this year's playoffs, and cannot fathom these asinine comments by you. Who are you? This sounds like a patently self-serving, judgmental, sweeping generalization by someone who may have an ax to grind? Coach Fogarty, in 4 years, has provided exemplary coaching for this new team. Stop ****in' on his, and his team's, well deserved parade.

Yes, him, too.

Funny how no other program has come up with any allegations such as this....

Oswego has a fine program, with a wonderful record of success over the years. No question. But the better team won that day, plain and simple. I have to question if your post would have appeared had the result been different. Somehow I doubt it, considering that your first posts came a full week after the game and have focused entirely on this matter.

Your program lost. You need to take it like a man. And I would offer the same advice to our own Adrian faithful who wish to take anything away from our loss the following night. Trust me. I went to Ferris in the mid-90's. I've seen more than my share of losing over the years.

I've been to roughly 400 collegiate games in my lifetime as well, between Division I and Division III. I've seen the best and worst of both worlds here, and I've seen a thing or three over the course of the last 20 years or so, too. If you think Adrian is a dirty team, perhaps this is the proper forum for you.

A true test of a man's character occurs when things do not go his way, not when he is on top. I suggest you read your first two posts and apply that test to what you wrote.

I've said all I've needed to say on this matter. Anything further is nothing more than sour grapes and does nothing but mar either program. No one needs that. Oswego has some excellent posters on this board. You could stand to learn a thing or two from them. I wish your program the best.

Adrian College men's hockey forward Shawn Skelly has signed a pro contract with the Texas Brahmas of the Central Hockey League. Congrats to Skelly!!! We are all very proud of you. I think there will be more announcements to come. Show 'em what you got Shawn.

This year it's April 18th, due to a holiday in DC. :mad:

And having your hard drive crash at home doesn't help matters any.

That's right, you got a few extra days to be Deep in the Heart of Taxes.

A fact a lot of people do not know, If you have a refund coming, you can send it in whenever! Up to three years from the due date.

Personally, if I have a refund coming, my "deadline" is as soon as I get my W-2, etc. :D

Anyone over there on the westernmost part of the Eastern time zone.......

Over on the Clarkson Board, we're hearing the possibility of Ron Fogarty throwing his name in for the Clarkson job. Have you heard anything in your neck of the woods??

Uh-oh... if this is true, this could spell bad news for bulldogs faithful...

It is a possibility, nothing more. There are 7 "firm" candidates interviewed and the 8th is either Jim Roque or Ron Fogarty.
 
Re: Adrian Chapter IV: A Legacy of Firsts from the Class of 2011…..

Re: Adrian Chapter IV: A Legacy of Firsts from the Class of 2011…..

We'll see. I wouldn't blame Ron for interviewing for a D-1 job, as it's an obvious upgrade from a D-3 gig. We'll address things if and when they happen.
 
Re: Adrian Chapter IV: A Legacy of Firsts from the Class of 2011…..

Re: Adrian Chapter IV: A Legacy of Firsts from the Class of 2011…..

Hold up a minute. 3 years ago on April 1st we heard from a reliable source[ Matt Webb] that Adrian was going to D-1 why wouldn't Ron go up with them?
 
I didnt want to make a big deal about this, but Adrian's CCHA plans have been altered. the plan is now to join the big ten in 2014. fogarty is also going to coach adrian, michigan tech and clarkson simultaneously, while also moonlightinger as a consultant to nasa and berkshire hathaway. adrian itself also has a deal in place to become the majority shareholder of tim hortons. i wont even get into the bin laden photos...
