Apologies for including the whole quote, harder to edit on the phone ... Not sure I see football vs hockey recruiting a fair comparison. Hockey competes with the best programs in the country in a field of only 59 teams and only 18 scholarships. Football plays in the second tier behind a larger field of BCS teams. If NH were a football hotbed, those kids would be off to Alabama. They're just not playing at the same level as Texas and Florida high schools.

Very true. I guess where I am going with this is that if we fill out our hockey roster with less than elite national talent, why not do it with academically qualified top NH players, at least making it a priority to put UNH on their radar, making every effort to have them visit Durham. Maybe we do this?

Colin Borque - was he widely recruited and chose UNH? What about BC's Sanford? Did UNH go after him?

I like this thinking, keep NH kids in NH. I hated seeing Rhealt (sp?) down at Proviced (my daughter played with his sisters). In theory they try to do this with the smart kids (am I allowed to say that at the risk of damaging the psyches of the "less" smart kids?) with their valedictorians scholarship program. Too bad they don't actually fund it.
 
Re: UNH Wildcats 2014/2015 - Wait 'Til Next Year!!!

Was great to see UNH this weekend at Union. Thought overall that they played pretty decently for a game against the National Champs, even if Union was missing 3 guys.
Thought the Frosh played well and at times were arguably the best players on the ice.

Would love to see an al Frosh line! Could easily put McNicholas or Putaralski with Eiserman and Foegele and compete just fine. But even if not, the Fr. Forwards are good enough to give UNH Quality depth they have not probably had in a long long time. Anyway, I hope they get as much playing time as possible.

Hopefully the Leaders can get it together, because they did play well aside from that 5minute brain fart in the second. My father in law, a Union fan, even thought that UNH played harder and hustled more than the home team.. Yes" being down by 2 for half the game will make you do that! But seriously, they did shut down the National Champs Powerplay and played a very close game otherwise.



Go Cats!!

We might not be able to successfully recruit elite in state talent like a Freddy Meyer, but do some players not consider UNH, are not considered by UNH, decide they'd rather play for another school because of academics/location/playing opportunities/coaching staff/$cholar$hip offers?

Meyer is a hack

Sure was. He should have been our hack.

From the Monarchs' Media Guide:

Freddy Meyer - Assistant Coach

Meyer, 32, enters his second season with the Manchester Monarchs as the Assistant Coach after retiring from playing professional hockey as a defenseman in April 2012. Meyer is a veteran of 418 NHL and AHL games during a nine-year professional career from 2003-12. The native of Sanbornville, New Hampshire collected 20 goals and 53 assists for 73 points in 281 NHL games with the Philadelphia Flyers, the New York Islanders, the Phoenix Coyotes and the Atlanta Thrashers. He also registered 23 goals and 28 assists for 51 points in 137 career AHL games with the Philadelphia Phantoms and San Antonio Rampage. Meyer scored three goals and nine assists for 12 points in 31 games for Modo Hockey of the Swedish Elite League during the 2011-12 season before hanging up the skates and moving on to coaching. Meyer was a member of the 2005 Calder Cup winning Phantoms that included current Kings forwards Mike Richards and Jeff Carter. The team was led on the bench by current Kings Assistant Coach John Stevens. As a 2003 graduate of Boston University, Meyer was named to the Hockey East All-Rookie Team in 2000, was named to the NCAA East First All-American Team and to the Hockey East First All-Star Team in 2003. He signed his first professional contract as an undrafted free agent with the Flyers in 2003. In four seasons on the Terriers’ blueline, Meyer scored 17 goals and 55 assists for 72 points in 126 games while recording 288 penalty minutes. Meyer also represented the Unites States internationally on several occasions throughout his playing career. He skated with the 1999 US Men’s National Under-18 Team, the 2001 US National Junior Team, the 2006 US Men’s National Team and the 2011 US Men’s Select Team. Meyer is married to his wife Lindsey and they have two sons, Freddy (five) and Carter (four), and reside in Winchester, Massachusetts.
 
Re: UNH Wildcats 2014/2015 - Wait 'Til Next Year!!!

Well it's Wednesday (almost!) and I'm thinking about the weekend with Michigan...we played them tough at our house last year but that was last year! Hoping the 'Cats can build on the good stuff they put together last weekend (despite the outcome). What's the feed/tv situation? Says Comcast and I checked out the team website and am thinking they offer something as well? Got some fan friends who are heading out alittle too far for me (but one day..) ;) Oh yea and as seen on Twitter, 56 years of coaching between Coach U and Red Berensen... Onward 'Cats!

From what I can tell, Michigan does not offer live video streaming of either Friday or Saturday night's game. Occasionally, btn2go.com will provide live streaming of Michigan games but apparently not this weekend:
http://www.btn2go.com/schedule?date=2014-10-17&tids=17

The Friday game is on Comcast 900 but that is only in the Michigan area.

The Saturday UNH/Michigan game has been posted online at BTN2GO. To watch the game, you'll have to pay a fee to use BTN Plus.

As C-H-C already mentioned, the Friday game will air on a regional Michigan channel. However, according to this website, there is a possibility that the game may also air on Fox College Sports. To be fair, sometimes the information listed for the TV schedule on College Hockey News isn't always accurate...but worth a shot.

"...overall, outshot them, chances, opportunities, other than about 5 minutes, we were with them, competed, last four gone to OT, game like this... something extra..."

I liked it better a week or two ago when someone (Willows?) spoke of last year's early season hole and how a loss or two kept them out of the NCAAs.

Here's Michigan's look at the weekend:

http://www.mgoblue.com/sports/m-hockey/spec-rel/101414aaa.html

It's gonna be quite the weekend for the 'Cats...they are going to have a lot revealed me thinks and hopefully...we hang tough. A tie and a loss last year but...last year is, well...over.;)

A tie in one of the two games this weekend might realistically be the most this young UNH team can hope for.

It would be encouraging to eke a W out of the weekend somehow, but I don't see it happening. Yet.

It will be interesting to see if Coach Umile sticks with Clark in both games, or gives Regan a start.

Personally, I'd opt for giving Regan a shot now, and see how he fares ...
