Norwich 2017-18 Season Thread: Defending the Crown

Article in today's Boston Herald that talks about UMB Nick Albano at the Bruins development camp. I found it interesting that there were 28 NHL scouts at the NU/UMB game at Norwich last year. Colin Larkin was one of the best D3 forwards I have seen in college hockey the last few years.

Not sure if that’s an exagerration or not. Certainly 28 scouts never came up to me asking for line charts. That’s usually how I get a feel for how many pro scouts are there as I’ll get a handful that come up to me asking for them.

Do the Cadets usually draw pro scouts when playing teams like UMB, Babson, Salve, Plattsburgh ect? Even with UMB 2 pro prospects NU defeated UMB 3 times last year.

Not true. MB does have a chance at the job. I asked him my self in the flesh, and he really does want the job. Unless it is Krug, he is my guess. Mark is a great guy and would do a great job. He is my pick.

When Will Pelletier and Kyle Thomas were playing, yes we oftentimes had plenty of games with multiple scouts.

You should learn to utilize the “reply” function.😉

No one said Bolding didn’t have a chance. I said I heard he wasn’t interested. He is indeed a great guy, and I believe he probably would do a great job. If he’s going to be a candidate, he needs to step down from the search committee immediately.

I started typing a post about how great it would be if Krug left Adrian, but man that would actually be kind of bittersweet.

Actually it's the "reply with quote" function that is needed. Pretty sure he used just "reply" :D

Depends what you’re using. On the mobile site, I’m replying to you, right now, on my phone, by just clicking “reply” under your post. The quote was included automatically. In order to post without quoting, I have to scroll to the bottom of the page and ccompose my message there.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. So who is it already? They said at the golf classic they were to introduce the new mens hockey coach.

The golf tournament is a month and a half away. Long way to go in the process still. August 1st is the goal to try and have the new coach by.
 
Re: Norwich 2017-18 Season Thread: Defending the Crown

Ironically, I was told again today by someone with “intimate” knowledge that Coach Bolding has not expressed interest in the men’s hockey position, and is happy to remain a member of the committee and assist with the search.

I am NOT calling anyone a liar; it’s just strange.

I never do this site on my phone. Computers are for the internet - phones are for talk and texting and maybe taking pictures. You kids :D

Fair enough. And thank you for calling me a kid! I’ve been trying to tell my kids I’m not old 😉

Side note: I haven’t turned on my personal laptop since I got my first smartphone, haha. I have, however, used my wife’s a handful of times

Plattsburgh will be a wonderful experience in December. Have a great trip!
 
Re: Norwich 2017-18 Season Thread: Defending the Crown

Prez noticed that NU has a game scheduled with the Quebec All-Star team at Granby on November 17. Will Norwich be playing a Canadian college team or Junior A or a combo of both. But playing a tough Junior A team is a good way to get ready for Adrien. I been reading the post about the Adrien coach maybe interested in the NU job and wonder if this is true?
 
KrbFlint said:
Can we baselessly speculate about the new coach or something? It’s almost July, a legend just stepped down, and there’s zero discussion on this thread. It’s boring.

Side note: I was driving on a family vacation last week. When we stopped for gas, I checked in quick and saw the salacious posts on here. I drove another few hours, excited to get to our destination to read the “fun”. Imagine my disappointment when they had been taken down! Haha

I don't know enough to speculate. But we can talk broadly. So McShane was a former DI head coach before coming to Norwich. I don't think anyone would make that move today, but an assistant very well could if the pay is there (which I hear it is). Do we think that they'd prefer to pull someone with DIII coaching experience or pull someone from a DI coaching staff if possible? What other routes are there that they might look at?
