Utica University 2024-25 - Retooled and Reloaded

At the beginning of the season, I heard from an opposing coach that he was very afraid of Utica.

yes and then they added more transfers in the middle of the season, the rich got richer.....

Ya think? I don't remember any D-3 goalie ever doing that, but I tend to forget shit on occasion.

I do think that he'd garner a lot of interest among the lesser D-1 programs, just the same.

In a similar vein, anybody see Beaver getting a shot at The Show, a la Herbert decades ago? (As in, an AHL tryout.)

Herbert couldn't have been that good I scored a double OT goal against him in the ECAC semi-finals, and I wasn't that good

Tom Aubrun (Norwich) signed a deal with an AHL team (Blackhawks organization) right out of college. He played in a couple games, but mainly settled into the ECHL team for a couple years before returning back to Europe to play out his career.

D3 to NHL isn’t unheard of. Norwich had 3 players get to the NHL. Someone used to have a list somewhere. It was a long time ago but I think it had 20-25 names on it and I’m unsure how many more of have been added recently. There have been a couple of EBug goalies that played D3 that have ended up suiting up for NHL teams in recent years.

Selleck from Oswego ...left after sophomore yr and went to. the Florida org.think he played a few games there then had a pretty good AHL career..

He must have been hungover that day...

This. There was no reason to leave Curry with a very likable coach and being king of the hill to go to another D3 school. He's got to be going D1.

So Utica is the logical choice then...
