Bentley Falcons 2013-2014: No offseason. No excuses.

Well now wait a minute. They're both pretty awful at hockey. I think it's a fair comparison.

Perhaps over the past couple of years. But, UVM made the NCAAs in 1988, 96, 97, 09, and 10; Frozen Four in 1996 and 2009; and ECAC champ in 96. Patrick Sharp, 02 alum, played for Black Hawks in game 1 of Stanley Cup finals; Torrey Mitchell, 07 alum, has played a lot for the Minnesoa Wild; and Victor Stalberg, 09 alum, put up 23 points for the Black Hawks this season. Martin St Louis, 1997 alum, put up 227 points (91 G, 176 A) over four seasons, and won the NHL Art Ross trophy in 2013. Eric Perrin was no slouch either.

Yeah, I'm going with Jimmy Montgomery from Paul Kariya for the third time in about about a five minute span midway through the third period to complete the comeback and seal the national championship in 1993.

Tim Thomas

(at least I think that's the name on the back of the UVM shirt I am wearing right now! ;) )

So an announcement to be made about the blog site. I'm in the process of reconstructing the website; what was once Excalibur Sports is now becoming JAR Pride, dedicated to Bentley hockey. Further details: http://jarpride.com/2013/06/19/the-times-they-are-a-changin/

The website is still very much under construction.

Best wishes with JAR Pride, Dan. Looking forward to reading your new blog, and contributions here, too, of course.

Exactly. But, UVM is still a fine academic institution, and, like UNH, a public university in name only, tuition driven with very little support from the state. But, for a Div 1 college hockey player without a driving interest in a business degree, going to UVM over Bentley is a no brainer, with 4000 screaming fans in the Gutt for every home game and living in one of the finest small party cities in America.

Not to mention UVM is likely to have a new barn before the decade is out, while Bentley can only hope someday they will move from a youth hockey atmosphere to something more collegiate.

Brady Shaw on his decommitment:

http://hockeynow.ca/posts/43649-surrey-eagles-brady-shaw-builds-towards-ncaa

Originally committed to Bentley, Shaw decommitted in April, as Bentley isn’t a top-tier college program and isn’t funded like one, either.

“You hate to say it, but the main factor in my decommitting was money,” Shaw opined. “Bentley just wasn’t able to offer me a full-ride scholarship, and I feel with the second half I’ve had this year, I have an opportunity to get a full-ride or something close, elsewhere. That was always the goal.”

No matter where Shaw ends up (he admits there are ‘around 10’ schools interested), it’s clear that if he continues to take strides as he has this season, the Eagles may have another famous alumnus to add to their list.

Final OOC game confirmed. Bentley will renew acquaintances with Maine in Orono on 10/19.

It also appears that UMass-Lowell has not worked out. They were supposed to play a home-and-home last year, but UML deferred the second game to this year and moved the road game to the end of December. They were supposed to play the Tuesday or Thursday before the Sacred Heart opener last year in Lowell, then play 12/30 in Watertown. Lowell moved the October home game to December, then deferred the road game to this year. The UML game at Bentley is now off.

Not shocked, since UML can't really lose a home gate with a Frozen Four appearance in their back pocket and they were having problems working out dates after Bentley added BU and needed to work that date out (Ryan Soderquist was hell bent on getting that BU game). They did, however, pick up AIC, at Tsongas.

As noted by FlagDude in his scheduling thread, Quinnipiac still has one free NC game, so perhaps Bentley will be traveling there, which is fine by me.

Again, welcome any and all corrections and clarifications from those who know the insides and outsides of the program since my research can sometimes be conflicting reports! Looking forward to seeing the Crimson again this October. Harvard's a personal favorite venue of mine.

Sadly, will miss Bentley at Hahvad again this fall, but will definitely be at Agannis for Bentley - BU on December 13th. Will be on Katahdin over Columbus Day weekend, so cannot face a return drive to Orono so soon, where strangely as a UNH alum I have never been to a game. Interesting that Soderquist will be up against new coaches for these two NC games this year.
