Re: UML Offseason Begins
I'll be honest, I'm happy for Bazin but I do worry a bit about someone just blowing away an interview. I don't think he has the full resume that Carlson or Rolston do, and Bennett was a first class recruiter from what I've been told. But ... but, I'm going to fully support him and this program, so we'll see how it goes. Welcome back to Lowell Norm. And Good Luck.

I was hoping for Rolston or Bennett, but then again what do I know?

A new coach is good news. This, on the other hand, is just plain hurtful: http://www.goriverhawks.com/genrel/041911aae.html

Re: UML Offseason Begins
Looks like he can get the job done...
Bazin was then hired as an assistant coach and chief recruiter at Colorado College in 2000. He spent nine years there, helping the Tigers win three WCHA titles and play in six NCAA Tournaments while the
team won more than 200 games during that stretch.
During his tenure at CC, Bazin recruited and/or coached two Hobey Baker winners, 13 All-Americans, and 12 future NHL players.

Re: UML Offseason Begins
I know he recruited at CC, but CC's been good for a while including before he was there.

Re: UML Offseason Begins
Of course hindsight is always 20-20 and it will be years before we learn if this is a good move or not.
For me personally, however, this is the 2nd best I've ever felt about a coaching move (at the time it happened) since the addition of Bruce Crowder as Billy Riley's Associate Head Coach. (The move I've felt best about of course being the release of Blaise from his contact.....)

Off topic: UMass to upgrade their football program to FBS, joining The Mid-American Conference (MAC). http://www.masslive.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/04/umass_football_press_conferenc.html
I wonder if DI Women's hockey is in their plans.

Wow... I mean I knew they were stupid, but that's pretty stupid... I thought UConn having the field 35 minutes off campus was a problem... 2 hours is a lifetime... especially if you are a student who'd rather be drinking... but this overreach was a while in coming.
They still believe that they can become UConn if they go full D1... education funding via institutional embarrassment/attention... that's generally what this is about... otherwise D-1A football makes absolutely no sense. The intent is to raise the profile by forcing things that do not work.
If I were UConn, i'd start advertising in the Springfield market... Hartford is much closer than Foxborough.... of course I've been saying UConn should be advertising in Worcester for awhile... anyhoo.
I have no comment on the new coach... wait and see. I know he's not a local (Manitoba) but I have to wonder if this implies that there is another guy out in the great world of hockey that'd go out on Route 3 in a sandwich board (as Blaise, more or less said he'd do to promote the program)... I think there was a series of good choices out there with no obvious winner.

Re: UML Offseason Begins
Agree here. Glad to see that the players know before the school year lets out and the recruits see a guy with a good background at CC and who's had success as a head coach. DI head coaching experience would be nice, but he seems like a stand-up guy who's obviously familiar with the program, both as a player and as a coach. Looking forward to reading the school's press release, whenever it comes out. Didn't realize that he got in such a terrible car accident while at CC. He's a real success story who will hopefully breathe some more life into the program that, with the rink and the increased student body, has some serious potential.
As for Amherst moving to DI-A in football, that's a bold move. It will be the AD's crowning achievement or the reason he gets fired. I always wondered how DI-AA programs made money. They give scholarships, travel, and have facilities costs, but they have next to no TV revenue (unless they go to Gainesville to get smoked by Florida or something like that) and get no bowl revenue. DI-A is obviously more expensive with more scholarships, more travel, and better facilities, but at least there's the potential for some TV, merchandise, and bowl revenue. What they need to do is schedule cupcakes out of the MAC and pray they make it above .500 and get into a bowl. I'm not sure how the MAC takes care of bowl payouts, but I think the lowest bowl payout is something like $500,000 or so (or at least it was a few years ago). Playing all the games in Foxborough is crazy, too, but hopefully for them, something closer to home is in the works.

I absolutely hate that they'll be playing at Gillette. I can't even begin to describe how much.
