In other words, DiGi's career in Juniors' Hockey was comparable to one of UNH's best goalies ever.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I don't know about you, but looking at his .900 and .905 save% in the USHL, I'm stoked!

If this doesn't work out, we can put him on a team with Eddie Caron, Adam Pineault, John Sabo, Bill Cass, and Ben Lovejoy. Those guys were great before they got to college too.

The question for me remains... if this kid was any good would he have grabbed some PT? Or do we assume it doesn't matter because even if he's only slightly inferior to the previous starter(s), that Umile will do everything in his power to win a coveted regular season title? I'm still having a tough time with this one.

Regardless, this guy's .900 save % in the USHL is something to get excited about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The USHL numbers don't mean so much as his career HE stats. 0.858% with a 4.96 GAA. Those are not inspiring numbers if you are a UNH fan.

Of course, performance in the USHL only speaks to a goalie's potential. It doesn't guarantee success at the NCAA level.

Nick P. - you forgot Travis Banga and we could use another scorer like him as I think there is an equal question to the goalie situation as to which forwards will be go-to scorers this year.

Ahhhhhhhh. He'll have to take a spot on the 2nd line. :D
 
Re: UNH Wildcats 2010 off-season thread

Now, I couldn't watch the whole game, but I heard the final score was 4-0. Argentina won, right?

Four goals in a soccer game? Is that possible? I thought there was a mercy rule after two.

First link ranked Leblanc as the worst forward in camp. Ouch
Second link had Moses playing center, something we haven't seen from him in his two years at UNH. I wouldn't be surprised to see him as the second line center to start the season with Leblanc gone.

Interesting how both observers of the Blackhawks' camp thought Stevie Moses was the fastest player on the ice. Sounds like he and the UNH coaches have a decision to make - either keep him at right wing and hope that his skills as a "finisher" improve or move him to center for his play-making potential.
 
Re: UNH Wildcats 2010 off-season thread

Some observations of Paul Thompson at the Pittsburgh Penguins Prospects Camp:
"Paul Thompson won the shootout competition yesterday (and tricked me into thinking he was Hanowski or one of the drafted guys) and was very solid today as well. He has a heavy accurate shot – a trend among draft picks and camp invites alike. Think Shero knows there is a weakness on the wing?"

Re: UNH Wildcats 2010 off-season thread

From USHR's report on the Select 14 Festival...

From the Forest Green Team 6'0", 150 lbs. Brendan van Riemsdyk (Red Bank Generals and the younger brother of James Van Riemsdyk) is all gangly arms and legs. When he grows into that frame, we expect he'll be a force. He already is hard to miss. In addition, Van Riemsdyk showed some nice leadership ability, shepherding a teammate away from taking a retaliatory penalty while his team was attempting a comeback.

BC and BU are going after 14 year old's, maybe UNH should get in the mix.

"We (Trevor and James) have a younger brother (Brendan) and hopefully he'll make it 3-for-3 for UNH." JvR in a February 17, 2010 interview with insidehockey.com.

Sounds like season ticket sales are going well. :rolleyes:

I'm a season ticket holder, which is the only reason that I am on an athletics mailing list. Twice this summer I have received emails advertising that I can "become"a season ticket holder.

I never got emails like this last year, and even the Friday/Saturday packages weren't advertised until later.

I imagine the atmosphere at the Morgue will be even more underwhelming than usual this year.
