Dan Koudys is officially the first Falcon to play in a top-flight league in a country's hockey pyramid. He's headed for Dordrecht with the Netherlands hockey federation and the IJS.

No, "western teams" as all those west of Woostah.
Re: Bentley Falcons 2013-2014: No offseason. No excuses.
Western teams are now anyone in the western division. On account of a technicality, anywhere west of 128/90 for us in Waltham should be considered the "west." Hell, western Mass might as well be on another planet (it should be excluded from the state, really), and New York might as well be Canada.
We all know BOston is the geographic center of the universe anyways.

Yeah, it was probably Frank Serratore who called out URI.

Re: Bentley Falcons 2013-2014: No offseason. No excuses.
People out of Vermont are telling me that Bentley could be scheduling them this year, but at the same token, they're having trouble making a date work. I think to spitball the other opponent, Bentley will most likely head back up to Orono and resume hostilities with Maine. Maine was always good for scheduling the Falcons at Alfond for a couple of games; this will be a one off. They're also already playing AIC, though; they need schedule fillers, and Bentley has a great relationship with Maine due to Ben Murphy. They'll try to renew that relationship now that the Bears have a new coach.

Ben Murphy might be joining Gendron's staff at Maine. Twitter reports saying he's a candidate.

It would make sense since he scored arguably the most important in Maine hockey history, and he's a major, major, major legend in Orono for that reason.

JFYP. So, if Ben leaves Bentley, who would be a good replacement?
Re: Bentley Falcons 2013-2014: No offseason. No excuses.
Thanks for that.
If he leaves, I'd imagine reaching down into D3. That's where Soderquist found Murphy when he was at Castleton. The Mark White hiring was where Soderquist brought in a guy that was a personal, close friend that he grew up with playing against and with. Murphy was really the first hire from outside the Soderquist playing tree.
I can see RJ Tolan coming back to Bentley, where he assisted in 03-04. He's doen nicely for himself after his first two years bouncing around. 4 year athlete at UMass-Lowell under Tim Whitehead (he might've finished under Blaise MacDonald though), played at Matignon HIgh School, and is about Soderquist's age, meaning they played together and know each other despite a couple of years difference. Has been at Wentworth doing very well, and he's the strength and conditioning coach down there. That would solve some of the issues Bentley has with the players not responding well to Charlie Carkin.

Re: Bentley Falcons 2013-2014: No offseason. No excuses.
I do have some information, but it's limited. Murphy is rumored for several spots including in ECAC. I wouldn't be shocked to see him at Brown because Souza just left for UConn, and WHittet loves Bentley guys (White is his associate head coach).
Here's what I know so far, including that Soderquist's name has come up for several jobs, including BU and UConn, albeit not seriously (more of a "if these guys say no"). He was pretty seriously considered at UMass as their next choice after Micheletto (who was the 8th choice anyways).

Uhh...Maine won NCAA Championships in 1993 and 1999 and other Hockey East championships...Ben Murphy scored a huge goal, but the biggest in school history? uuhhhh...nooo.

That's why it's called arguably the biggest. So that people can "argue" if it is or if it isn't.

That is going a little overboard! I can think of a few goals that were a little more important (Jim Montgomery and Marcus Gustafson might argue they scored more important goals)

Loved Murphy as a player but I can think of 5 more important goals in Maine hockey lore. Sorry.

Yeah, being a University of No Hardware alum, I would agree with Gustafsson's goal in OT against a tough team with a great goalie and a Hobey winner.

Or the comeback goals against Lake Superior, some of the NCAA OT goals, etc. Look Murphy's goal was huge, but lots of big goals were scored 1990-2004.
