I believe you are correct about "kept posting". It was Cavbim who posted the Cox article. I sometimes wonder about Cox' fact checking. In any event, congratulations to your son. The opportunity to attend/play at Princeton offers a special educational opportunity.:)

All I said was Northeastern was in the picture. They were. Fact.
 
Re: Northeastern Huskies 2015 Off-Season Thread: Unrequited Love

all he said was nu had interest. inviting a player to a game, meeting with and locker tour and telling him they want him to come back and do a campus visit etc sounds like interest to me.
Cox does a good job and is getting attention to lots of local hs kids. he works hard. its super for kids like filipe, shea, petrick and the rest of the locals to stay in hs and play and get recognized.
nu has some very nice players coming in, armstrong, filipe and Griffin will be very good college players, very good
 
Re: Northeastern Huskies 2015 Off-Season Thread: Unrequited Love

happy for any local kid who gets a chance to play D 1

Perhaps you are right that they were "in the picture". Perhaps they would have eventually offered him. Based on what has been said, they were in the "getting to know you" stage. That's fine. I'm glad things have worked out well for the young man. It's nice for him to have this stage behind him. It will allow him to focus on school and hockey.

It must be a challenge, at times, for you to know exactly whom the coaches have come to watch. I should think that there is some guesswork involved - especially with those coaches who like to keep their cards close to their vests.

I am sure they bring in many kids for a game and a tour etc. if that makes a kid a little more confident and feel good about their game, not a bad thing. with only so many roster slots they are very careful....
based off their pipeline, its going very well
 
Re: Northeastern Huskies 2015 Off-Season Thread: Unrequited Love

Anyone have an idea what the schedule looks like next year? We have some open spots now with the St. Lawrence series ending and hopefully no more non-conference conference games. Off the top of my head:

- 22 Hockey East Presumably @ ND twice, vs. Maine twice, and home and home x9.
- Beanpot
- Michigan State confirmed
- Quinnipiac owes us two games
- Colgate owes us two games
- We owe Minnesota a game (probably Thanksgiving with BC?)
- We owe Yale a game

That leaves three open dates, and that's assuming we finish off all three ECAC series.

I wouldn't mind bringing in someone soft as a two game warmup. Especially with a goalie battle coming. That would leave one extra game. Maybe we're saving it to play in Foxboro? They might be tearing that rink down ASAP for Pats playoff games though.

Update: Quinnipiac is only coming to Boston for one game (possibly doing 2-1-1 like we did with SLU) so there are now 4 open dates.

I don't see why he wouldn't come back for his senior year. There's no doubt he's improved a great deal over his first 3 years, but I still feel like he has some major flaws in his game. It seemed as though he had trouble staying in position/square to the puck, and he seemed to give up a lot of dangerous rebounds. Hopefully he makes another leap forward over the offseason. Personally, I'm hoping that one of the other goalies steps up and competes for ice time. They should be better on the blue line next season, assuming no one leaves early/decommits, so that should help whoever is in net.

He's coming back. 100%. No questions. Ruck and Roy will split time at the start of next year, and we'll see where we go from there.

There was a report tweeted out by @twolinepass that NU will be featured in a college hockey tournament in Belfast next year. Teams rumored to be in the tournament are UML, Brown, Colgate, and us. Thoughts on both the team and fans travelling overseas for the game?

I think playing a game the day after Thanksgiving hurts the chances of a large US contingent making the trip to watch their teams play.
 
Re: Northeastern Huskies 2015 Off-Season Thread: Unrequited Love

That should be an awesome tournament. Hope you guys have fun. Will these be NCAA games or exhibition ones?

I heard Brown/Colgate would count as an ECAC game, so I assume they're normal regular season neutral site games. I hope NU/Lowell wouldn't be a HEA game at very least, not only because having a conference game 5000 miles away is silly, but because I don't want to lose a home game or an excuse to visit Tsongas over it.

That's interesting. If the game does count in the HE standings UML may the one chosen to lose the home game since Northeastern lost one recently when the two teams played at Fenway Park.
