UMass Lowell 2022-2023: Valley Steamroller Edition

Am I crazy or did Matt Brown never sign after BU’s season ended? Not that we care much about him I just don’t remember seeing news about it and as I’m looking now, I still see nothing.

The River Hawks will open the 2023-24 season at Alaska Anchorage.

From the STH email:
Things we can tell you – the season will begin Saturday, October 7 in Anchorage with a two-game series with UAA (for those looking to travel to Anchorage for the trip, we are not planning a coordinated trip at this point). We also know we will be spending the first weekend of 2024 in Tempe for an Arizona State hosted tournament (January 5-6), for those looking to get a head start on booking road travel!

The first home game will not be Homecoming Weekend. It will be either the final weekend of October, or potentially the weekend before that.

Any progress on the hiring of the new assistant coach?

Mike McMahon reported this a week ago:

UMass Lowell will hire Eric Sorenson to replace Taylor Nelson, who left the staff earlier this offseason to take a job at Augustana. Sorenson is a former goalie — something Norm Bazin said he wanted in the candidate — who has been at Holy Cross for the last two seasons alongside Bill Riga.

Sorenson, 33, played at Western New England from 2010-14 and began coaching at Nazareth College in 2014-15. He was there through 2018 and spent two years at Williams College (2018-20). Sorenson was the inaugural head coach at D-III Rivier for one season before he took the Holy Cross job.

Holy Cross advertised the opening for Sorenson’s replacement yesterday.

I wonder if Norm is thinking of adding another paid assistant due to the change in the NCAA rules.

Mark Divver @MarkDivver
Like a number of schools, Providence College planning to add a fourth full-time paid coach to men's hockey staff after July 1, in accordance with change in NCAA rules. Nate Leaman has talked with some prospective hires
 
Wow, a tough stretch of league games to start the season. Two games with UConn, BC, BU and Merrimack from October 27 through November 18.
 
Per Mike McMahon:

Bentley is set to hire UMass Lowell associate head coach Andy Jones to become its next head coach, sources tell College Hockey Insider.
 
Tough league schedule to start the season but that OOC schedule? Big yikes. A single loss to any of them will deeply hurt us.
