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...

While it may play out that way, and makes for some really good red meat for the conspiracy theorists amongst us, there is one empirical counter argument against it.

Jim Dean, the new president, is effective July 1st. Not only was his hiring announced a while back but he has actively been engaging the faculty, staff, Foundation Board members, trustees, etc.

Perhaps “going to work” vs. “getting engaged” is the rub here, so I’ll hand you that.

By the way, I heard from a pretty high-ranking person that “Souza doesn’t intend to pick captains until September”. The way it was said, it also sounds like we might see a break from the long-standing tradition of letting the team pick the captain. Which I think we’d all agree would be a positive step. Time will tell

Good to see ya here sir! I've heard that "changes are coming" and this may be one of many.

Rumor is that Paul Pearl is leaving his AC position at Harvard for same position at BU, so there is another name to scratch off Souza's list.

I wouldn't blame him in the least, on either issue. It's not like anyone from last year's team made a watertight case on their own behalf to be honored as captain, so make 'em earn it in the preseason. And yes, for god's sake, please PLEASE don't let the players pick. That's churned up some questionable selections in recent seasons. Now, let's get the assistant coach sorted, and get this show on the road. :)

Schedule gradually filling in as other schools release; UVM playing at the Whitt on October 27th.

Pretty sure UVM has a Joey Cipollone coming in this year as well.

This is going to get confusing.

From the Tri City Storm Roster Personal Information on #14 Joe Cipillone (DOB 1999)


"First cousin “Joe Cipollone” (born 1997) won the Clark Cup with Tri-City in 2015-16. The families are next-door neighbors in Purchase, New York. Younger “Cip”, acknowledges they get mixed up all the time."

Drew Hickey is he the newest Dman? I see on the roster that makes 8..did I miss something in the whirl of getting school done? EDIT: yep just announced today welcome Drew!!

I'll defer to the gurus but this kid Hickey looks like a good late addition to me. Not sure if other programs tried to defer him, hence the availability but at 20 years old thats probably not the case.

A real shame that the two Joe Cips could not have played on the same team.

I believe, back in the 1960s, UNH had William H. Rothwell and William J. Rothwell (no relation) skating on the same line.
 
Re: UNH 2018 Offseason- Out with the old , in with the semi new?

The Northeastern womens hockey team currently has a Maddie Hartman and a Mattie Hartman, no relation.

We are....though it seems like a strange time to have a cookout, how many of the players will actually be there? :confused:

Maybe we'll get a sneak peek at meeting the new AHC? ;)
