I think there are 8 players to be honored, 3 seniors and 5 graduate students. Not sure about the timing of the ceremony, usually it is before the scheduled start time of the game. I have enjoyed that tradition over the years, the effort and success of the players brings back good memories.
Well done this afternoon with 2 Pts vs Northeastern who were playing very well recently including Northeastern winning the Beanpot. With U. Mass losing tonight vs Maine, PC finishes 4th in HEA and host the quarter final game next Saturday vs U. Mass at home. The home matchup is more favorable than the large rink in Amherst so that is a real plus, too bad students won't be back from break yet. Look forward to a great match next Saturday. Glad we get to avoid a mid-week opening round game for the first round on Wednesday. Another trip to the HEA finals at TD Garden would be a nice end of season plus. Good luck to the Friars the rest of the way!
After last night's tie against Northeastern (that is how the NCAA treats it) PC is now 14th in PWR which puts them right on the bubble yet again. The loser of the PC/UMass game is likely out of the NCAA tournament and the winner is going to be a bubble team based on other results.
Well done presentation for senior night at the game. Not quite the win the ideal way but exciting game still. Probably gonna go ahead and get in for season tickets next year.
Will be a big bargain I expect, some really high end players coming in if everything works out. Not sure what it would take for Schneider to attract persistent student interest and their willingness to hang in there for the whole game, but next year could be the acid test for that. In the meantime, let's cross our fingers about this weekend, as The Freds said, PC was the last at large team in the NCAA's in 2015 and look what happened!
PK sees a flawed argument in this. What you fail to present is that Alaska's strength of schedule was considerably weaker than Providence's, so of course Dafoe would have a better chance getting those points against weaker competition on a more-regular basis as a benefit of playing a schedule as an independent rather than being a part of a conference. You're wanting to believe that if Dafoe was given equal ice time at PC that he would put up identical numbers, but that's just not the case. The 35th ranked schedule versus that ranked 7th among Division 1. For a team that's in the middle of all of Division 1 someone has to get those points. Put him on a Denver, a Michigan State, BC, BU, North Dakota and a dozen other teams and I guarantee he's not getting close to those numbers.
I assume you don't know the specifics of why Romaine decommitted and want to blame it on Leaman because that's just what you do. Unless you have sources that show that it's because of PC and Leaman that he's decided to play at Ohio State (who by the way sat in sole possession of last place in their conference), your assumption of the reason can't really be taken seriously. You cried about the players who hit the portal last year like they were all some big loss, and other than Citara I don't see any of them as being a difference maker. I say good luck, hope Romaine has success at Ohio State. I'm sure someone else will step in and fill his role where you'll still be crying about his decommitting a year from now.
I guess you missed four year PC player Patrick Moynihan who put up the same numbers as he did at PC with the Fighting Irish this season. We will never get a true report on the reason he left but could PC have used him this season? Absolutely. That is on the coaching staff's relationship with the player.

To this point, six of Dafoe's seven goals were against independents. I bet a number of Friars would improve their scoring playing asteady diet of Augustana, LIU, and Stonehill.

One thing I noticed is that PC played with a noticeably smaller roster this year. I wondered if that was a response to having several players who did not get much time transferring out. The NCAA has made it too easy to transfer by eliminating the requirement to sit out a year if you do. With the smaller roster I am pretty sure that there were no more than one or two players who sat out more games than they played this year. Unfortunately, that meant that there wasn't the same depth available in the case of an injury, and in the game of hockey, an occasional injury is an unavoidable hazard. I am not sure about this, but I think the coming year may be the last that allows five years of eligibility for games. I believe the old rule of 5 years of eligibility but only 4 for games will be restored. If that is the case this is the last year of transfers for a graduate year even if the player already played 4 years. Does anybody here know?

Whose fault is that they had a smaller roster than needed? The head coach and his staff.
