Re: Maine - the Golfing Season
There shouldn't be any hockey games on homecoming, especially this year. With Maine-New Hampshire playing a HUGE game on Saturday, in addition to being the 100th UM-UNH game, there shouldn't be any other game on campus that day. It takes the spotlight off of the football team, something they've earned in the past year. Homecoming hockey games hurt football attendance historically. Play the hockey games Thurs/Fri or Fri/Sun but keep Saturday for the football team only. Yet again, hockey overshadows Maine Football. At least they're playing St. Lawrence...

Re: Maine - the Golfing Season
Maybe that was UM's plan...have the Football game which in turn would bring the Hockey Fans to the FB game and then later the Football Fans going to the Hockey game...adding attendence to both games would mean more dollars to the U....one last question on the FB,usual that game between UM/UNH is the last game of the regular season..? I always thought it fell that way,just wondering why the change..?
The CAA has had scheduling problems since Northeastern and Hofstra dropped football. That's why the Maine-New Hampshire game has jumped around the past three years. The funny part is that homecoming, the battle for the musket, and the 100th game gets packaged into one and works out for the better. Not to mention UM and UNH have had GREAT games the past few years starting with the snow bowl of '08.

Re: Maine - the Golfing Season
I won't look at last year's results, but Duluth and Notre Dame seem to me to be the only quality OOC teams Maine has in concrete.
I don't see St. Lawrence as representing a possible RPI boost, nor the Q, either...
Maine better fare well v. UMD and ND if they want to garner any RPI/PWCs from this (mostly) lackluster docket, if you ask me.

And another year goes by without retiring Paul Lynch's number.

Re: Maine - the Golfing Season
(Is it just me, or does it seem that Leidermark has been there for 10 years?)
Scanning the roster, I see quite a few young guys who have shown me some real potential, but nothing outstanding as of yet. It would be great to see a couple (or two or three of them) blossom at the same time... I have especially high hopes for Parker.
Here's hoping that Shore is as good as advertised, and that Sully's judgment/positioning improves. Not gonna bet the farm on either thing happening, but you never know.
Should be an interesting season. Not expecting the moon, but this team could conceivably roll four effective lines and grind out 18-20 wins, considering their schedule.

Re: Maine - the Golfing Season
I'm curious as to when Maine last had a 2nd-round NHL draftee on the roster. (I figure that a couple of you guys might know that off the top of your heads, save me the search...?)

Simon in '06 was the last 2nd rounder.
Jimmy was '03
and Janik was '99 (along with Billy Ryan's Brother Mike, in the second round)

I remember seeing his first NCAA shift at Union... sonofaknowitall could not believe his eyes.
I am glad that he has turned into a very good penalty killer

I always thought that Liedermark was a poor man's Andersson in the PK department. Liedermark will always be a slow skater with little scoring or passing touch. He was out there for a lot of crucial faceoffs in the defensive zone and I just don't remember him winning many of them. I don't see any reason he should be getting PT as he takes too much off the table offensively to warrant a spot for his barely above average PK abilities. Let the younger guys play.

Season ticket renewal is now available online for those wishing to save postage. I just completed mine. A $126.00 package discount when ordering the complete package (including quarterfinals). I didn't see an option for ordering without the quarterfinals or a payment plan.
