UMass Lowell 2018: Champions of the Offseason

Re: UMass Lowell 2018: Champions of the Offseason

As I read an article the other day about Cam Burke at Notre Dame, I was surprised to read that his father played at Lowell from 89-91.

It made me wonder about our "legacy" kids here. I know we have one in the pipeline (Meehan), but those that have come here (at least from when I started school in 92), I don't remember too many working out for whatever reason. I know we've had a couple like Eiserman, but his brother went elsewhere. Others that we recruited that went elsewhere.

Just wonder why...?

Can you think of any examples where the legacy player was a standout player? I recall being a little disappointing Sean MacTavish didn't come to Lowell, but he ended up not going to BU and he also didn't do anything at UAA. I'm not sure Lowell even recruited him.

BC and BU's rosters are littered with them. Same out west with the big schools.

Also congrats to Connor Hellebuyck for breaking the record for most wins by a US born goalie. He won his 44th for the Jets on Saturday night.

The fans in the UAA thread are hearing Cam got the position.

I was hoping that might be the case. The Alaska programs have been in jeopardy as of late and I would have been surprised if he took it. Maybe he was able to get a pay raise out of it. He'll move on eventually, but I'll be glad if he returns next season.

Glad he's back
