UNH 2018 Offseason- Out with the old , in with the semi new?

Re: UNH 2018 Offseason- Out with the old , in with the semi new?

1967 Watched my first UNH Men’s Hockey game.
1968-2008 Season ticket holder. (2 tickets) and gave up tickets when
head coach changed his mind about retiring in 2008.
1999 Joined Fan Forum.
2009- present - see games occasionally.

Most old-time ticket holders and posters have read my comments over the years so I will not bother you with my fan experiences concerning UNH men’s & Women’s hockey. However, viewing recent postings mentioning that UNH Hockey, and that wonderful environment, “is never coming back” ….. I would like to comment:

I would imagine that the “never coming back” idea is disturbing to many fans and painful because it is true. It was a special time, place, and environment probably impossible to reconstruct. However, the memories do exist and we are allowed to relive and appreciate that past. We can revisit and visualize wonderful as well as painful memories, and we should not discount the importance of that phenomena.

The creation of memories is a joy as well as a burden that all of us carry. At times we can sense that responsibility when we look into a mirror. Hopefully the current coaches, players, and fans understand the opportunity before them as “memory makers”.

As I approach my 8th decade the responsibility and opportunity to be a memory maker becomes increasingly clear on Father’s Day ..... to all on the UNH thread - be well as the wheel turns ..........

Maybe Norwich will poach Souza, who like McShane is from Wakefield, MA.

Or we'll poach McShane to be the new "veteran" assistant to complete the finishing school, since he's from the hometown and Umile will vouch for him. Finally get the four month gap?

Suddenly it all makes sense. :)

Not looking good for me; in a later post, I think that I suggested 31 July for new assistant, 31 August for schedule, and 30 September for captains, which might be closer to reality. No urgency for anything, I guess. As Alfred E Neumann said, "What, me worry?"

Maybe the ziprecruiter resumes are all getting trapped in the spam filter?

Maybe nobody with any talent is interested in the job? After all, a solid candidate may have a better resume than Souza. Just a thought.

Maybe not a better resume, but maybe looking to hook up with a more ambitious and/or high profile program? I mean, if I'm going to be flying all over North America (and Europe) chasing after the best and brightest, I would like to know the guy who's running the program is working at least as hard as I am. If it all falls apart, after all, it's unlikely BS35+10 is going to say "hey, maybe my master plan with MS didn't work out, but that unknown second assistant of his really has his act together". Any Genius Master Plan #2 would almost certainly have to deliver on the promised so-called nationwide search.

Or maybe it wouldn't … :confused: :confused:

I woulda thought that when potential assistant coach candidates saw the big ramp up in our OOC opponents' PWR for this coming season (see post a few pages back), they would be knocking down the doors, so to speak, for an interview.

Don't you all see it... No 2nd assistant, less cost. BS is banking some coin to cover spending last year... Since the team didn't bring in enough revenue. Budget year doesn't end till June 30.

So, new AC will be announced on Sunday, 1July?

Waiting till August 1st allows you to bank a month of saving against the next budget. What is the rush, nothing to see here, we don't need a sense of urgency...

1 August does not leave much time to learn all of the plays, especially the 5 on 3 PP.
 
Re: UNH 2018 Offseason- Out with the old , in with the semi new?

Could be some truth to the July 1 budget thing. Being a state org that's when the new fiscal year starts, if, I have my info correct. Still, it would be great for fans to get some inkling of what's going on there. Serious fans do care about such things...and, even in the off season, look for any and all news about their teams. Well, it will come I suppose. We've waited this long ;)

That's the kind of high quality experience and leadership that will lead this program out of the woods … and further down into the weeds. Sad thing is, I can't dispute that you may very well be right, JB. :(
