UMass Lowell 2020-2021: Down the long hallway

Dominick Procopio @the_domshow97 Apr 30
I want to thank UMass-Lowell for an incredible 3-Years. I’ve made great friends and great memories there. With that being said, I’m beyond excited to continue my education and hockey career at The University of Alabama-Huntsville! I’m back in the south! #GoChargers

The best of luck to Dominick. I wonder if the Hawks will be visiting Hunstville next season.
 
Congrats to fellow '96 grad (and Bazin's teammate) Billy Riga on earning the head coaching job at Holy Cross.

With how well he recruited at Q, I was wondering if Bazin did choose to leave how heavily Riga would have been considered here.
 
It’s really difficult to read that two stud players have selected to play elsewhere in college hockey. Kids leaving early for the pros is easy to stomach, but this really hurts. To have top players leave a program for another program does not look good on so many levels. From the outside looking in, seems like some players were a bit complacent and Norm wanted to challenge them. Obviously, people react to feedback and decisions differently... and clearly these guys are not happy with some level of treatment and the way things were handled. Could it be benching? Sure. Could that benching be related to play? Maybe. Could it be related to off ice team rules not being followed? Possibly. You can’t shy away that this team had one of the most cases of COVID in D1 hockey. Does make you think. Hopefully we have some kids make leaps and the incoming class has some jump.

Bad news for him. Sucks. how does a school accept transfers and then cut the program in such a short window?

Sources indicate UMass Lowell assistant coach Juliano Pagliero is heading to Penn State to take the place of Matt Lindsay, who left for UMass. Also, hearing more assistant coaching changes in Hockey East are imminent.

NEHJ article speculates that former Maine assistant coach Ben Guite is the most likely candidate for the job. Time will tell.
 
So a Penn State assistant leaves for UMass and a Lowell assistant replaces him. That seems a bit odd. Is UMass paying more for assistants? Wouldn't it be consistent between the two schools?
 
Hockey East Tournament will include 11 all teams again, but is all single-elimination games now.
