UAH Hockey 2017-18

Very true. I think McHugh's signing was instrumental in showing both junior players and coaches that UAH was back on solid ground.

While he hasn't had the year McHugh had in Dubuque before he came in as a freshman, I'm hopeful Bauer Neudecker can have a similar impact once he gets acclimated. He'll be a year younger than McHugh was entering college, and after his midseason trade to Sioux City, he's really taken off.

Jack Jeffers recent commitment is also a solid get. He was on NHL Central Scouting's List in his draft year, and although he didn't develop quite as quickly as many hoped, he's still got some serious wheels and is having a helluva year with Markham. 78 points in 53 games.

If Corbett can somehow snag a defenseman of a Cam Knight caliber, this will be a solid recruiting class.

Have had a chance to see Neudecker here in Sioux City. Good skill, good speed. Lack of size and strength causes him to get lost a little at times, but I think he is a good get for you guys.

I'm curious to see what Matty Thomas's departure will mean in terms of rounding out this class. UAH will almost assuredly be done this week or next (I don't see them beating MSU or NMU in a first-round series, much less BGSU three or four times in five games in two weeks). I'm sure that most of the trout lines are already out, but you gotta get 'em through the clearinghouse and into the boat.

To Geof and the rest of the UAH fans I would like to offer my sincere Congratulations and Good Luck in the playoffs.

On to Marquette!

UAH gets the 7th seed and goes to #2 Northern Michigan in the quarterfinals. Could be very interesting since UAH went 2-2-0 against NMU, splitting both series in Huntsville and Marquette.

Upsetting the Wildcats would be a hoot!

Will do, but it's going to be hard —*flights on Delta are up around $1000, and I don't have a big enough crew these days to team drive it to the UP (even back in my 20s, I flew).

I give us a puncher's chance this weekend. Obviously, we split the season series with NMU. Unfortunately for us, the only two-game winning streaks that we had this seasons involved A*A schools.

UAH was the only team in the WCHA not to have a series sweep this year. Welp.

Amazingly enough, one of the short model runs that I had showed us sweeping about 10% of the time. I'm now running the CPU DEATH option that will go for 30 minutes.

Re: UAH Hockey 2017-18

What a joke. UAH has no business in the WCHA playoffs, as evidenced by their game 1 performance against NMU. The WCHA should seriously consider booting UAH in favor of Arizona State and finally let their program die. Portera had the right idea several years ago but some big babies kept whining about his correct decision. UAH is NOT a D-I school and it’s pathetic that a “professional” goon hockey team outdraws them in their own barn. They can’t recruit top talent, they can’t compete in a decent league (CHA was a joke and everyone knew their NCAA auto-bid was laughable) and they almost never win out-of-conference. They have a hack coach and several players who only went to UAH as a last resort. For the love of god, stop pretending that you belong. You don’t. It’s that simple.
 
Re: UAH Hockey 2017-18

Oh hey there Mr. First-Poster! Your words, they wound! The only performances more embarrassing than yours were "any and all Chargers in the defensive end in the first period" and "Brennan Saulnier", who should just be suspended for the playoffs. I'm very much on the record for my displeasure with him.

But do go on about how we don't belong! Are you going to cull other programs, too? Who?

Well, it's Friday.

I get that Corbett wants to win games and may have his seat feeling a bit warm, but the fact of the matter is that 1-5-0 (swept at BSU, split v NMU, swept by MSU with one game into OT) and has just 15 points, the same as last year, while going from 64 PIM to 119. He's an embarrassment, a black mark upon our program, and it's pretty ridiculous that he continues to get ice time. I can't see where he's a positive for us in any game. If he's locked in and positively motivated, yes, he's a pretty decent offensive hockey player at this level. But he's just not been that this year in a season where missing Max McHugh and Jordan Larson for so, so many games would leave you wondering whether a guy with his hands and passing could be an effective pivot. Well, no.
