Pots named to the top 10 Hobey Finalist and Quast signs a SPC with the Monarchs in totally unrelated news...

Also...bet it's Sneddon or Cavanaugh who's talkin' to Umass...

Why? Four years at zoo mass would get him above that by a good margin. Compare that to two years at UNH.

I was thinking they'd have to hit re-set if he moved :o but yeah, I guess that's a decent Plan B.

Then again ... how many games did UMass win this season? Actually, it looks like they've won 8-11-8 the last 3 seasons, so that's 27 wins, and would still leave Coach short of the *magic* number by 2. :eek:

There seem to be no easy answers on the "(fill in the blank) to 600". :(

How funny would it be to see Luce Canaan bail on UConn only two years in. :D :D

Yes, paying Souza X and hoping it gets better is preferable to paying Umile 248,000 for two more years and hoping it gets better and THEN paying Souza X for at least four additional years and hoping things get better...

That said Umile isn't going anywhere early, he's more likely to change his mind and stay longer...

Hey $248,000 here, $248,000 there pretty soon adds up to real money! It makes absoutely no sense to pay DU that amount of money to act in a consultant role IMHO. I can't even imagine what his state pension is going to be!

Like you say though, he'll probably hang on longer. You can't make this stuff up!
 
NCAA watcher said:
Any wishful thinking that Umile has gone back to his 2000 playbook and thinks he can show UNH by leaving for UMass? UMass gets credibility that it has lacked, and 3-5 years of stability.

I thought another rumor had UNass interviewing a coach after the bottom playoffs, which would have precluded Dennehy. Maybe Cavanaugh?

doesn't seem like this AD would stand for anything less than full committment, and that train left the station for DU.

Basketball team beats Fairfield. Gets to 20 wins for the first time in school history, the same season that Umile posts his first 20 loss UNH team

Twilight Zone was one of my favorites in the '60's.

Richard (aka original Snively), where are you this post-season (er, off-season)?

Serious question for the hockey historians out there - has the Hobey ever been awarded to a player who'd already left campus and turned pro at the time of the award ceremony?
 
Re: UNH Wildcats 2015-2016 (Part Three) - Living in Interesting Times

Link to the first part of the HE awards announcements, presumably with All-HE First and Second Team and other awards to follow after tonight's HE banquet at the Royal Sonesta in Cambridge (The House that Bertagna Built):

No UNH'ers on the All-Rookie team, which includes two players from overseas (co-incidence?) ... Poturalski gets the top scorer award, Boyle from UML gets two goalie awards ... and in what has to be regarded as at least a slight upset, Coach Madigan's Northeastern Huskies squad earns the "Charlie Holt Team Sportsmanship Award".

If you're thinking Pots is going to win, I would suggest that you should probably give up that thought. My guess is it's almost guaranteed to go to one of the two Michigan forwards, probably Kyle Connor (30G - 31A in 34 games)

Nope, you've got the wrong guy. After his second half performance once they hit the meat of their schedule, any chance he had of winning disappeared. I'm actually mildly surprised he made the final 10, to be honest.

I guess my question stems from my inability to recall any Hobey winners who had already moved on by the time the award was handed out. I don't follow Hobey as closely as some (most?), but those I do recall were still with their respective programs when the ceremony took place. Despite all of the realists on board here, I'd think awarding it to a kid who'd already bolted might be at cross purposes with the "college" part of the award, and create a potentially awkward situation at the ceremony (i.e. "Player X in the Hobey Hat Trick can't be here today due to a conflicting commitment with the Macon Whoopee") that the HB folks would probably prefer to avoid.

Well it's all that Facebook fan voting Chuck! ;) Anyway, UNH has had how many winners in the past? Krog was the last?

Yes ... the one and the only. And while we're at it, that's St. Krog, just for sake of accuracy. :mad: ;)

Off the top of my head, IIRC, Denver's Matt Carle (2006) had already left for the pros before the Hobey was awarded. I recall BC's Chris Collins was a finalist and still playing in the FF.
Jordan Leopold of Minnesota (2002) also comes to mind but not sure if he had left the college ranks before the Hobey. They were prolly also in the FF.

Edit: Just checked. Leopold/MN won the NC that year against Maine so he hadn't bolted.

Edit: I believe I'm correct on Carle. Denver did not make the NCAA's that year and Carle played 12 regular season games for the 2005-2006 San Jose Sharks. He also played in 11 playoff games. I don't recall if he attended the Hobey ceremony or not.
