Quinnipiac Bobcats 2025-26 - Viva Las Vegas!

[SnowDogFlyer]

Thank you, Seniors. Especially Victor, Cipollone, and Powers...the last 3 remaining players from the '23 championship team.

And thank you, Bobcats, for another great season. We are truly blessed to cheer on a program that competes in the national tournament year in and year out.

Next year, we want the WHITELAW!

I always fear time-change for East Coast teams traveling, playing night game . . . cannot recall too many masterful blowouts against a Rand team like this. ND plays to an average crowd of 16,000 and I think we lacked some physical size on Defense but i think it all fell flat at 3-0 and out, done....as the guy sitting near me watching that game said, "this team will be hard to be down 1-0". and the rest was just dust in the wind...so think of it that way, they gutted out a 1-0 loss and played hard....it's college hockey and Rand will get some size in his game at some point . . . this night, battle-bot up & down hockey was met by a bigger, stronger, physical team essentially almost on their home ice in their normal time zone. You root now for North Dakota to win it all and show the nation that you lost to the best team in the country....next season is almost here!!

Thanks to the coaching staff and players for another great season. We have so many skilled guys but need the size/toughness others have pointed out. That being said I am glad we won the natty when we did. Being a smaller school in the NIL world will be tough to get the top talent.

Rand is still young and hopefully he stays forever. Since this is our top sport I really hope we can be the draw to get that talent. Guys like Wyttenbach prove it. I know NCHC is at a different level, but seeing how UND and Denver play/reload can be humbling. But I know we can beat those teams because we have seen it personally. We need guys to grow/develop like Metsa did and have that special season every four years or so.

Looking forward to October already!

Disappointing to lose 5-0, but overall, I would say this was a successful season in the end. After losing to Alaska, losing the CT Ice finals, and the ECAC Tournament incident, I'm happy to walk away with a win over Providence.

If North Dakota wins the national title, it will mean that Quinnipiac lost to the eventual national champions in the same round in both men’s and women’s hockey, which would be an interesting anecdote

Onto the offseason!

Going to be interesting to see the goaltending situation next fall, with Kirsch coming in, Scopa on campus, and neither Marinov and Silverstein graduating. The forwards are, as always, looking to be very good technical players, but undersized (Dylan Edwards is 5'8, for example).

Onto the next, fellas
