UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

[2013hockeyfan]

Question: maybe I'm missing a key piece of info here ... but how would the organizers of the UNH Hockey golf fundraiser know The Grouch's identity, so they could in turn deny him access to volunteering for their event on that basis??

I mean, with some sleuthing, you can eventually figure things out (take note of our suddenly reticent mole), but knowing The Grouch pretty well, I know he's not airing personal opinions or inside info to every Tom, Dick and Kevin he encounters. So, what gives??

I don't know anything about the guy but I've seen so much grief given to Potluck about maintaining anonymity I assumed most personas here were well known both within and outside the board. Especially for someone like Grouchy Cat who speaks repeatedly about being well connected within the hockey community.

The hockey community is small. Lot's of people are connected, not just me.

However, when you follow local teams, select teams, juniors and college, you see the same people week after week and build relationships/friendships and information and intelligence gets shared. This includes players, coaches, scouts and even people working in athletic departments.

They wouldn’t need to. Typically volunteers for anything are vetted into a ramp up process. For instance, several months ago I responded to a volunteer request. Not hockey not UNH. A little emailing led to some texting. They must have figured I might be a fit so I was told to arrive 30 minutes prior to being needed so that I could receive training. The day went well, led to another volunteer opportunity and another and my level of responsibility increased as they become comfortable with me. If at any point they thought my approach, attitude, opinions, values etc. were not consistent with theirs they’d have said “thanks, but no thanks”.

potty gets grief on here for a lot of reasons, too numerous to list here, but it has little to do with "maintaining anonymity".

Although now that potty's hopes for anonymity are a thing of the past, it's kind of become a moot issue.

The availability of/accessibility to information around a small program in a small town should never be underestimated ...

And, that goes for more than just hockey.

I missed something. What page do I navigate too?

There is nothing you are missing. Potty and 2013hockeyfan are probably the same or tied to UNH so they are towing the line. No sane person can see this MS7 experiment as a success.

There are some obscure clues strewn about this thread over the last couple of weeks or so. Mostly mine, but others from fellow posters, here and there.

I hate to be vague, but I really don't want to totally bust his cover at this point ... every village does need a good idiot to (using his words) "smack around" once in awhile. Most folks on here are operating under some degree of a cover anyway, and unmasking is not the goal, it's always been to level the playing field, since our hero (lol) has certainly taken more than his fair share of liberties at lots of people's expense. But The Fluffer's cover has indeed been compromised ...

The term is "toeing" the line, FYI.

I have no connection to UNH (edit: besides being a 2013 alum ) and have never claimed anything close to success in the Souza era. I just prefer to lay blame at the feet of Souza and Rich than question the athletes scholarships or talk shit about a kid after he leaves the school.

Of course that's not the primary point of contention but there was a several page back-and-forth about anonymity.

This is the thing that gets me. I look at the potential on the ice and I see a team that has the potential to be fighting for 5th place or higher. I just don't see the coaching to get them there.
