UAH Hockey 2012-13: Still breathing

Re: UAH Hockey 2012-13: Still breathing

There's our first ***-kicking of the season. They'll learn from it, though, and I bet we'll see a better result tomorrow.

Looking forward to seeing you guys up here for Bentley on Friday. I wholly plan to try and get some awareness on the program throughout the game's broadcast and beat the war drum for you.
 
Re: UAH Hockey 2012-13: Still breathing

Not sure if you'll be sending your radio crew up, but hopefully I'll have the audio up and working on my website too. We do PPV video through America One, but I ran into some issues with audio on my site the last game. Then again, with our rink, we run into issues with electrical, plumbing, and overall weirdness on a regular basis.

Where is the best place to purchase a Chargers jersey? I looked on the UAH bookstore's website but didn't see any on there.

We have no radio crew, and we haven't for a decade. I was on it. We've done a few intermittent broadcasts since then, but nothing sustained. Personnel, resources, airtime.

Call the bookstore at 256-824-6604. They'll get you squared.

Some love about the UAH program from our resident blogger

A few small things:

1. Tornadoes. Our kids dodge tornadoes during winter. The second-worst tornado in Huntsville history was on November 15th, 1989. [In fact, "the Airport Road tornado" actually hit Huntsville proper; the Hackleburg-Anderson Hills tornado didn't hit any city property in Madison or Huntsville that I'm aware of.]
2. Miami-Ohio is closer.
3. The only club team we play was our series against Alabama; other than U-18, we play D-III's Adrian and Finlandia.
4. It's the University of Findlay. UF, not FU. ;)
5. Costing us capital? Our travel expenses aren't terribly worse than we've had in the past. We've flown out east to pick up games, which we've typically not done twice in a season.

But seriously, thanks for the love. We loved playing y'all in D-II [by which I mean I loved to see our guys wax you on our ice—our players looked forward to games against the Falcons], and we're happy to keep it up in D-I. My hope is that our program survives past the next few years so y'all can make a return trip.

As for the University's contribution to the hockey budget: I don't know, and I don't want to know.

Several people picking UAH to get a win on Saturday against AIC in the Atlantic Hockey Pickem thread. A two game series against AIC would have been nice. Friday's game against Bentley looks trickier since they appear to be rising fast in talent, performance and expectation.

Here's the game prep from my site. I could only find stats through D1 games for y'all so if there's any discrepancies, feel free to correct me. Admittedly, I don't know a ton about the team even if I know about the well-publicized battle for the program.

For those of you looking for audio, HOPEFULLY the JAR internet will cooperate with me and I'll be able to simulcast the audio through my site. Unfortunately, our rink is a certifiable dump, and I always have issues with the internet. Nonetheless, I surely hope y'all will tune in. I'll be stumping for the program. As a D2 program playing up, I'm always beating the war drum!!

Here's to a great game!

Looks good to me! I wouldn't give Prince any credit for that outburst against UA. Those games were nice warmups, but that's it.

I figured it was worth noting just for the heck of it. Anything to make a program look good in my eyes -- it's the Bill Belichick theory.

In all honesty, as an analyst, I think I'm a little bit worried. I think Bentley has the definite advantage, but we have such a huge game on Saturday at Harvard that I don't want this game lost in the shuffle. It's still an important thing to win games, and from our standpoint, we need to take care of business. UAH is going to be hungry for wins, and these are the games where they can step in and get them.

Bentley and AIC is a much more favorable matchup than 2 against Minnesota-Duluth.

I am hopeful. UAH games against Minnesota State-Mankato and Saint Cloud have been tough. The latter in particular as UAH held their own against Mankato. The Saturday game against AIC looks like a decent chance for UAH to get a Win or Draw. Friday (tonight) looks tougher.

I will be listening in if I can! Make sure the visiting penalty box door at the JAR is well oiled, the Chargers frequently visit the friendly confines of the box.

This weekends Streak for the Cash picks are...

NCAA Division 1 Mens Hockey: What will be the match result?
UAH Win, Draw, Lose by 1
@Bentley Win by 2+ goals

And for tomorrow,
NCAA Division 1 Mens Hockey: What will be the match result?
UAH Win or Draw
@AIC Win

Ever the optimist and team supporter (particularly with the free goal in the line against Bentley), I will take UAH Win, Draw, Lose by 1 for tonight and UAH Win or Draw for tomorrow.

GFM: Nope. We have never had a class together.

There is nothing about the JAR that is well-oiled or classy. You're lucky the visitors bench doesn't smell of a combination of old guy pick up league sweat and vomit.

I love our home rink.

really looking forward to the game tonight. Best of luck the rest of the way regardless of outcome!
