UNH Hockey Off Season Thread 2026

[Jellsville USA]

Another season tix barbq in the books! Sooo many new players most were there. Coach says this is a 'big (meaning size) team' one that will be physical. Canada well represented as well as a few 'locals' as close as Newfields.

The new lobby and other rennovations were presented with the Delta Dental CEO speaking about the impact DD would be making on the project. Kind of long winded...but whatever. They unveiled pics of the lobby and had a slide show of the new team rooms etc which look pretty cool

President of the U spoke saying she had 'big expectations ' on the team and spoke to the rennovations. There was the usual 'game show' with the veterans to round things out.
Good to see the returning players.

Oh in regard to the new AD finalists will be on campus this week (think she said 5?)

106 days to puck drop!

Appreciate the recap Ref!

Good intel, Ref. Wasn't aware of Delta Dental's involvement in the project until now. Did Mr. Raffio speak, or was it someone else?

Yup the very same. Was presented a nice blue jersey. Oh and when he said something about mouth guards Fitzy turned to the group and flashed his missing front teeth

He spoke. And spoke. Then spoke some more.

He's kind of an odd duck ... someone close to me has a business affiliation with him, thinks he's a good guy, but also has a tendency to ramble.
