Couldn't stand to have this thread fade to the second page. Anyone know when tickets are available for the tournament at Wick on the 31st and 1st?

Should be a good one with 3 of 4 teams ranked in top 10 of latest poll
 
Re: Norwich Cadets Hockey 2010-2011: Title defense time.

The year end tournament including Nichols, Norwich, Manhattanville, and Adrian should be outstanding. I am interested in seeing Adrian in action for the first time, however, a lot of the hype seems to have left the program as the program matures. I think the first semester has shown how difficult it is to replace three outstanding defensemen, including Eric Talent who I believe made All American.
In other area tournaments I was under the impression Castleton was going to play in the Cardinal Classic which would of represented a good test for Plattsburgh, however, I see they are in the St. Mike's tournament. I know it isn't a good idea to play a team 3 times but another Norwich/Castleton matchup new years eve would of been a game not to miss in Central Vermont.

The new UNE arena proposed should elevate another ECAC East team and be very good for the league. With UNE improving and the D2 question resolved in 2 years the ECAC East looks like a very viable league for years to come.

While there have been some defensive mistakes, I think the bigger issue right now is scoring and special teams play. The defense is still only surrendering 1.5 goals a game, which ranks third in the country. That's pretty darn good.

Why? What is your obsession with Castleton? They are a good team but there is no need to play them three times in the regular season. Are you suggesting we scrap the Northfield Savings Bank Holiday Tournament for a third game with Castleton? Thanks, but no thanks. I'll take seeing some new blood at the Kreitzberg with Nichols, Manhattanville and Adrian. That Manhattanville/Adrian game is a can't miss. I can't wait for it. I think the only games this season I'm looking forward to more is the Middlebury/Williams home weekend in Feb.

BTW- Charlie asked me if you had his steak ready for him. ;)

He also wants Plymouth State added to the schedule to improve things.:rolleyes:

And follows Norwich so well that he "believes" Eric Tallent was an All-American. Seems like even a casual fan would know last year's All-Americans on the Championship team.

Like the steak dinner bet, he's an empty bag of hot air and not really worth corresponding with....

Tell Charlie I am working on the steak sub. Also often overlooked for Norwich is the loss of Steven Schroeder who had a huge year for Norwich last year. The Schroeder brothers in the NCAA game last year against St. Norbert's were outstanding on special teams.

Remember though that Scott was hurt for much of the season, and this year he is really clicking right along.
 
Re: Norwich Cadets Hockey 2010-2011: Title defense time.

Thanks for letting the weasel know it is a DINNER not some lousy steak sandwich. I just happened to run into the Hawk at the Todd lecture series, and believe me I reminded him about the bet.:D:D:D:D:D

Its a steak dinner, not a sub :o :mad: :p

BTW, in 2004-05, Norwich went 18-5-3 overall, though 7 games went to OT.

I missed the D2 resolution. Could you explain what happened?

Thanks.

It hasn't been resolved, but the two ECAC East D2 teams have been given 2 years to get the situation resolved. If they can get legislation or a change of status that allows their games to count as D3 games for the rest of the league, they can stay. If not, they are gone. So the situation will be resolved one way or the other in the next two years.
 
Re: Norwich Cadets Hockey 2010-2011: Title defense time.

Just read an outstanding article on Norwich forward Kyle Thomas in the Norwich Record (school paper), with a lot of interesting quotes from Coach Mike McShane and former coaches. I tried to pull up the PFD file but could'n't locate it yet. Maybe Prez can help.

I am working on it. The Norwich record is not the school newspaper. It is a quarterly publication put out by the development office. The school newspaper is the guideon

I'm trying to figure how hawk got a copy of this when my copy just arrived in the mail this morning. The Record is the official Alumni Mag that goes to all Alums and to other people that the "Development" Office wants to target, including faculty, retired faculty, parents, and potential donors. (I love the way that all institutions call their fund raising office the Development Office - call a spade a spade, not a digging implement, or a soil moving tool :eek:
