I believe Gildon was speaking about the Wisconsin coaching change. I am positive Gildon is aware that Umile won't be the one coaching for a majority of his time at UNH.

Without a doubt he is aware...am glad he's coming looking forward! Thanks for the comprehensive look at our newest 'Cat C-H-C!!

C-H-C,

Based on the following statements within the article:

"Mike Lowry ("C-H-C"): Congratulations on your commitment to play for the University of New Hampshire. What are the main reasons you chose UNH?

Max Gildon: The coaches, the campus and the people around the program just sold me on UNH.

Lowry: A year ago, you verbally committed to the University of Wisconsin. What factors entered into your decision to reopen your college search?

Gildon: The feeling I got after the coaching change was suspicious and I wanted somewhere that has a great history of hockey like UNH does. I also wanted to go to a smaller college."


Do you think Gildon would be a risk to decommit from UNH if Umile stepped down and there were some coaching changes at UNH?

Also, the issue with Wisconsin is the entire coaching staff was released, including whoever recruited him. Unless a major change has come about Umile did not recruit Gildon to UNH and I agree that he has to be aware of the situation here so I do not think there is much of a risk of that happening.

Max Gildon committed to Wisconsin in February, 2016. At the time, Mike Eaves was the head coach and Luke Strand and JB Bittner were the assistant coaches. Eaves was fired in early March, 2016. In late March, 2016, Wisconsin announced the hiring of Tony Granato as head coach and Mark Osiecki and Don Granato as associate head coaches. Gildon remained committed to Wisconsin until December, 2016 - 8 months after Granato and his associates took over.
 
Ho hum, Benton Maass. Souza seems to have found a pretty nice defenseman, late.
3 games, 2 goals, 1 assist by Maass in the NAHL this weekend.

Since returning from his hs season, 9 games, 5 goals 3 assists.

His one-timer is quite good, particularly on the powerplay. He slides down to spots similar to where McNicholas got a lot of his pp one-timers.

Could mean Benton Maass's (Pronounced: Mass) NHL draft prospects on the rise. Was 158th North American skater in Midterm Rankings (Corson Green at 149, Max Gildon at 76):

All of this is great news! Thanks for keeping us in the know. Now we can all worry about early departures! Just kidding, sort of.

Speaking of early departures C-H-C reports on twitter today that Andrew Poturalski has been called up to the NHL. Granted there aren't alot of reg season games left but nonetheless very cool for Andrew!!

Hope that he can pick up a few points, especially given that we will not be playing against the Bs.

nahl New England General 96 Kohei Sato committed to Unh per Mark Divver
Click to expand...

There is your first truly foreign citizen and UNH Wildcat (although he has been playing in NA for a while.) I would have preferred a high-end Finn, but nonetheless...

Kohei Sato, Ni****okio, Japan...

Edit - that is the correct spelling of his birthplace. You'll have to guess the middle I suppose...

---

Quick, good skater with a motor and some flash in his game (good celeys), but 20 years old and in the NA. Northeast is the worst team in the NAHL by a mile...

Neutral Zone scouting report from March NAHL Top Prospects Showcase:

Kohei Sato (F, 6’1”, 185lbs, Northeast, 1996)-Sato was the fastest player here. His speed is elite. He was in constant motion which made him very tough to cover. His passing and puck skills have improved since we saw him last and he was able to play fast with the puck most of the time. His compete level was high. He only knows one speed (fast) and that does hurt him at times as he skates himself into trouble. Overall, he was impressive and despite only scoring one goal earned his grade.

Re: UNH Commits & Recruiting: 2017 and Beyond

Definitely looks quick on his skates in the highlights I have seen. Hopefully he can bring some skill with that speed. Being that he is a 96 I assume he will be arriving this fall.

I'm interested to see where he fits into the lineup, guessing he could fit into a decent bottom 6 role. Welcome to UNH Kohei!

I love speed even if it doesn't amount to anything!

PK and forecheck could always use a guy like this.
