There once was a fan who was proud
Of his Mildcats, their trophy case? Not well endowed.
The butt of all the jokes
When their teams always chokes
Wait, do we cheer for St. Cloud?

Haha.

You know what's crazy? That BC only has national championships in one sport, and UNH has a national championship in one sport as well (arguably two as their women won the defacto title the year before women's hockey became NCAA.)

And yet BC fans seem to be so arrogant when if you look at their teams over the years and they've got no titles in football, basketball, baseball...for how many teams they have the cupboards are really bare.

And you also have that awesome thing where your school claims a title for 1940 even though none of the FOURTEEN polls voted for you. How hilariously take your cousin to prom pathetic is that? Claiming a title that no one gave you?

You even have a banner for that. How positively droll.

Oh wait, some website says you have a title! Good for you. None of the polls but one website tells you guys have a split 1940 title with MN...congrats website champs!

Sailing? When did sailing become an NCAA sport?
 
Re: UNH commitments/recruits for 2010 and beyond

The goalie situation seems to be clarified for next season. This article describes the future plans of Cody Campbell, the goalie for the Cedar Rapids Roughriders of the USHL:

With Campbell remaining in the USHL for one more season, UNH will have three goalies in 2010-11 - Matt Digirolamo (Junior), Tyler Scott (Junior) and incoming Freshman, Jeff Wyer:

Re: UNH commitments/recruits for 2010 and beyond

Can someone on here who has access to 'The Scouting News' and or the 'Amateur Hockey Report' do me a favor and send me any info you can 'cut and paste' on Mason Jobst.

Mason played on my son's HS team here in Indiana this past season, and he is quickly moving up the prospect ladder as a 94. I know there is info on him at both websites but I don't have access. Thanks to whoever can help!
 
Re: UNH commitments/recruits for 2010 and beyond

It sounds like Grayson Downing is committed to play four years of college hockey though it's not yet clear if he will come to UNH this fall or in the fall of 2011:

Downing was selected by the Kamloops Blazers in the fourth round of the Western Hockey League draft in 2007, but he elected to forgo major junior hockey in favour of the junior A/college route. He's committed to the NCAA Division 1 hockey program at the University of New Hampshire, and he'll take his game south of the border either this fall or in 2011.

"I wanted to get an education in case things didn't work out with hockey right away," Downing explained. "I'm not the biggest guy (listed at 6'0", 170 pounds), so going to college gives me an extra four years to develop and become fully grown mentally, physically and emotionally."

John Henrion is a possibility.

Interesting ideas. Henrion knows something about playing center:
"Before UNH: Henrion, in 2008-09, was a first-year player with the United States National Team Development Program (NTDP) after playing junior hockey for the Junior Bruins of the EJHL… John played both center and wing for the NTDP accumulating 31 points in 58 games on 19 goals and 12 assists"

Has Greg Burke had any experience at center? Maybe he could be converted like JvR was.

JVR had foot speed, Burke doesn’t not have that foot speed which I believe is needed to play the position. I do see Burke as a big contributor but more as a power forward. Henrion same sort of thing, is not the best skater and really has not demonstrated much of a play making ability. Block was suppose to be the player to fill that gap, but I did not see him advance last season even thought he played much of the season. Speelman has many of the tools….speed…has shown some ability to move the puck….no sure of his defensive ability.

This is the situation that most concerns me. UNH always finds a way to score goals; can they stop anybody this year? Digirolamo does not instill confidence (granted he played very little last year). Scott . . . yeah . . . so, what's with the Wyer kid? Any good?
 
Re: UNH commitments/recruits for 2010 and beyond

There will definitely be a learning curve there for Digirolamo at the beginning of the year. I would not be surprised to see Tyler Scott get some actual playing time.

I know not directed at me, but I don't think JVR is that fast. He has that lumbering gate where he does move along (faster than it seems) but he isn't a speedster out there.

Watching the Flyers-Bruins series I think what JVR has is hockey IQ just about off the charts. He is always around the puck, always in the right place to have the puck find him. With very good players around him that makes him seem faster.
 
Re: UNH commitments/recruits for 2010 and beyond

Two sources state that Joey Laleggia will play the 2010-11 season with the Penticton Vees of the British Columbia Hockey League:
"Last week, star defenceman Joey Laleggia – who led all BCHL defencemen in scoring as a rookie - confirmed he will be returning to Penticton for one more season before heading to New Hampshire on a scholarship.
“We didn‘t anticipate Joey would leave,” said (head coach and general manager) Harbinson. “He had a great year offensively and he‘s going to come back and round out his game.”
http://www.pentictonherald.ca/stories.php?id=260300

"Joey LaLeggia has committed to returning to the Penticton Vees for another season of Junior ‘A’ hockey before heading to New Hampshire. The Burnaby, BC product lead all BCHL defenders in points this season, played for Team Canada West on at the World Junior A Challenge in PEI, and participated at the CJHL Prospects Game; quite a 17-year-old season!"

Re: UNH commitments/recruits for 2010 and beyond

I don't see a situation where DiGi is healthy and Scott plays.
DiGi will be just fine.

Block will probably play center on the 3rd/4th. On a related note, I really hope Gaudreault plays USHL next year, it seems he is going NAHL. I look to Block - the league's top scoring two years ago, and I don't feel the NAHL is very competitive. (we will see if he is able to pick it up this year).

McCarey wouldn't be a bad center.

Speelman is one of the best back checkers on the team - I hope this continues.

Hardowa could easily play more center in games against larger teams.
Opening up playing time for freshmen.

Will they look for a late commit at forward? (David Killip please)

Also, I think DeSimone, Thompson and Sislo would be a great line, but we need to spread out the scoring a little more. We'll see who shows up in September and maybe one of them could jump in.
