UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

[HockeyRef]

Yes Makar won one regular season title. Lost in both HEA and NC finals his second and last season. I do remember him saying that the NHL was easier for him when he first arrived. Everyone was keying on him in the NCAA’s and he was just another player in the NHL. Of course that quickly changed.

Good luck in the upcoming 3 games vs The Minutemen. If UMA somehow goes 5-0 ahead of the regular season finale then I take it back. But I doubt it will be for anything other than pride for both sides by then. It sounds like it won’t even factor into your coach’s future.

Aggressive forechecking and aiming for Hrabal’s glove side will greatly increase your chances of victory.

Jack Musa scares me lol!

Thanks for sharing! Averaging nearly a point per game in the USHL is pretty decent in my book, albeit he appears to be a bit older (20) and has been in the league for a couple seasons to date. While the results on the ice haven’t been great, it still seems like MS7 and crew are still capable of reeling in decent recruits (Henriquez a week or so ago as well), even if the on ice product leaves much to be desired.

Would be curious to hear from the more prospect guru posters here if they have any thoughts on Romeo? I imagine, given his age and experience, he will likely matriculate next fall. I’m wondering if that is why he decommitted from UML, if they wanted him to stay back another year…

We can certainly use more scoring in the future, hopefully he can hit the ground running next fall!

Was hoping the same for Sam Oliver ...hope he has a good end to his season. Being older doubt he returns next season?

On this prospect..we know hes received decent coaching..

That has been de rigueur for the last couple of "events" but apparently this one is upstairs.

Our AD fka SB is going upscale because she understands the natives are getting restless

They are usually scheduled for upstairs but I think the amount of people forced them to do it in the stands. Either way it will be the same boring content.

This reminds me of the hate towards Ryan Leonard by UMass fans at the Mullins each time he played there. But he never transferred from UMass to BC, but his brother was a well liked player and they consider it treasonous for him to play for a rival school.

John Leonard is currently leading his AHL team in Grand Rapids in scoring, including 26 goals in 32 games. He is morphing into the UMass Darren Haydar as a guy who is riding the cusp of NHL/AHL, as he had a fairly productive 9 game stint in Detroit as well. At 29 years old, his NHL window is closing, and in 79 NHL games in his career, he has posted 8 goals and 13 assists. It's his defense and lack of size that hurt his shot at a pension, also his plus/minus usually snags him during his stints in The Show. Pretty decent chance he'll be drinking from the Calder Cup later this Spring though, Grand Rapids is loaded with a great mix of older pros like him, and draft talent working its way up. I think they'd lost like 2 games thru mid-January (at last check something like 35W=7L-3T), and John beat Ryan's Caps while he was up earlier.

Not for the last four or five years
