UMASS-NEWMASS 2025-2026

[kahunak]

College hockey is kicking off and I am excited. UMASS is #15 in the USCHO poll and #6 in the Hockey East.

My guess is that this year will be like last year-start slow but gel as the year goes on. Lots of new faces, loss of lots of goals, and some pillars to build upon. The one thing that is clear is that Carvel is stocking up on big bodies. Some heavy hockey in the future?

GO UMASS!

Fun game to watch. It looks like we have a goalie.

I would expect to see the freshman goaltender Sunday since it's early in the season. I just hope he doesn't have to face 70 shots. You guys look like you could make some noise again this year.

70 shots on net????...and only 5 goals (one EN). Either NM has one absolutely fantastic goalie or UMASS is the gang that couldn't shoot straight! Actually, an encouraging start for the Minutemen. 70 shots on goal is usually more than they would get in a three-game series. Freshmen contributed. See what happens this afternoon but a good start with lots of new players.

UM does not have a Freshman goalie. A junior with 6 games experience over 2 years and a sophomore with No experience. Next years commits include 2 goalie who have already been drafted.

Great start to the year with two good wins over NM. Looks like the freshmen will contribute. The HE schedule will be daunting. The next 7 games will be interesting and I think it will become a bit clearer whether UMASS can be a contender. I am looking forward to the Cornell series- they always play UMASS tough!
