Re: U Maine 2011-2012 Season (thread created when Maine was at .500) Thread
i wouldn't count on those kids being super excited to come play at maine.
with that being said, the writing is on the wall here. regardless of how much money it costs I would put a boatload of it on whitehead being bought out. unlike the other programs at umaine hockey donors actually get involved and can/will pony up.
with all the players and coaches that have been at UMaine over the past 20 years you can't tell me that somebody is willing and able to do a better job then whitehead? child please.
I like the freshmen players, especially leen and parker, higgins has been better than expected, cerretani is good, antonelli is a project but has the skill certainly. Defense is still a bunch of underclassmen so we return a lot there, some of the other guys are improving like beattie and mangene.
With a new coach and a new attitude this team could be solid next year and with a new coach and attitude they should be able to start winning some recruiting battles for real players not just Monarchs and Boston Advantage kids.
You can fill your roster with those kids, and occasionally you get a flynn type who is really solid but mostly you just get 3rd line players. go get some canadians for christ's sake and win some games.
