Quinnipiac Bobcats 2020 Off-Season

Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats 2020 Off-Season

Missed it this morning.

Would have liked to know how the Women got to finish out the season!?

Will wonder what happened to Jayden Lee, how is he recovering!?

Will he fully recover? Would he have played in ECAC or beyond?

Women's season ended the weekend before sports shut down. Their NCAA Tournament was canceled.
 
Quinnipiac Bobcats 2020 Off-Season

Here's the New Haven Register article:

DiLiberatore, Petruzzelli, Tufto will return to Quinnipiac next season

This is all great news!

Great news indeed. We definitely should be looking at a top 10 ranking early on next season. I see QU alum has 34 players on the roster and expects some to drop. 4 will be goalies I think. I wonder if anyone slated to join will push back an extra year. Especially with seasons ending early at many levels. Are there any players we’d expect not to return?

Safe to assume Odeen gets the “C” this year. Possibly Peter D gets an “A”. Any other thoughts.

If you guys haven’t heard, the banquet was cancelled. Jessica said she sent out emails, but had also heard some went to Junk folders. Would have been nice to wish Nick, Alex and Karlis well.

Bummed there won't be a banquet, but totally understand why. Besides the awards, hearing Coach Pecknold recap the season and give his insights on next season (freshmen coming in, who we'll be playing, etc.) is always the highlight of the event.

I agree. Maybe we can request they do that on Twitter or FB live :)

Jonathan, any word on Jayden Lee and how serious his injury was? Would he have been able to play this season or did he undergo surgery or longer term injury!? Kid has skills, and I liked his speed and capability to have the opponents defense on their heels.....or in Billy Sweezey's case, braced for impact only and i still believe their may have been some upper cut (accidentally or not) from a stick handle to the chin possibly...maybe i am projecting my disappointment on Billy Sweezey like I did with Luke Esposito a bit too harshly. But Jayen Lee can pass and distribution of the puck effectively, to another skater to the place where they can simply shoot is rare and he has that gift. That is very enabling skill packaged in a speedy skater but the Billy Sweezey's of the world will wait in hiding to impact those highly skilled players with softer skill sets like placing a threaded pass on the blade of another skater's stick...something the Billy Sweezeys will never be able to do. Jayden Lee, hope you're ok, healing and keep playing as hard as you can and rely on your teammates to warn you from the Sweeziness of lessor skilled hockey players....OK, my rant for the day and apologies for seemingly venting on Billy...and know as a hockey parent, few things make one more proud than watching your son on the ice making those type plays....but as a talent scouting fan, we view that player as a pothole.

You have to stay off of the tracks to avoid the train. Sweezey wasn't a bad defender and the hit that nobody else seems to be worrying about was clean. Your narrative about that hit keeps changing to suit the bait which I am now biting on. Believe it or not , that "pothole" has one of the highest GPA's on the team, and is walking away with a Yale degree. Also, stop asking about players health on a public message board.
 
Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats 2020 Off-Season

This azcentral.com article confirms Arizona State will travel to Quinnipiac next season.

Would love to see Rand do an article or a live/taped end of year communication, like at the banquet. Of course from the safety of his social distancing location of his choice :) To hear about the awards for the players, next year's C's and A's and opponent info.

Me too. He can do a "Facebook Live" video where he announces all of that and even answer questions from the fans.
 
Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats 2020 Off-Season

With no banquet, it looks like the team is starting to announce its award winners this week.

First award:
2019-20 Team Rookie of the Year: Skyler Brind'Amour
 
Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats 2020 Off-Season

So... an update of sorts...

First, a week and a half ago I found out that my job safe "for the foreseeable future" and we will not be closing in June as was planned. Additionally, we got bonuses for sticking it out, not to mention we've been deemed "essential" and are still working.

Second, this whole virus mess made me rethink a few things and I got married on Saturday (instead of waiting until August). Whenever this mess goes away we'll celebrate properly with family and friends.

Lastly, I thought the team awards were all spot on. I will admit I wasn't even considering KP as MVP, but agree with the decision. The only surprise is that Tufto and Banjo didn't take home anything (but I expect both to be huge next year).

I hope Rand releases some details about the proposed schedule for next season (if there is one).

Not having sports had been a killer for me. Disney, Pixar, and Marvel just ain't cuttin' it, but I'm managing.

Hope everyone is well and stays safe...

Congratulations Mark! After all you had nothing else to do since you couldn't go to the National Championship game Saturday night!!!

Hey Mark, Congratulations again. The 20-21 schedule thread spreadsheet appears to be updated at least with the Non travel partner ECAC schedule. He’s got the OOC games as 4 home (ASU 2, UMASS, AIC). 4 Neutral ( Ireland and Bridgeport), and 5 OOC road games (Maine 2, VT, UMass and AIC). My math says that’s 35 games, but only 15 home.

Will they even play, will we be able to be in the stands if they do? At this point I would think the friendship four is doubtful.

Let’s hope this blows Over, be well, stay safe.
