Utica University 2024-25 - Retooled and Reloaded

According to the xfer portal data, UU picked up 4 D1 transfers; 2 from AIC, and 2 from the Alaska schools
 
Playing in front of 3,000 fans in an AHL rink might have something to do with it. Or would you rather play in front of 200 ?
 
Utica's acceptance rate is 87% -- tuition is $21k in-state/$27k out of state
Hobart's acceptance rate is 57% -- tuition is $53k in-state/$65k out of state

If you're a D1 kid getting bumped to D3 with marginal academic skills, there are considerations other than arena size if you wish to play on a winner

Regardless, the quality of hockey at D3 is only going to get better over the next few years.

Drafty, any D-3 program that realistically wants to compete would be absolutely insane to eschew D-1 wash-outs.

It's funny how so many of those guys who failed at that level excel down here, including a few being D-3 All-Americans.

The gulf in talent is still surprisingly wide.

well I'll say at Oz we have had several thats struggled to even make it into the lineup at times, and a few that have stood out,as long as they are getting their education and playing the game that they love, its a win win....Let's Go Lakers!!!!
 
i mean hobart has won the past 3 titles with a whopping total of 2 d1 transfers in that span. pro hockey aspirations also play a huge part as oz has had a few guys the past 4 years leave mid season or not use their last year of elgibility to go play pro. anyone remember that wenkler kid (or was it swenkler) who was supposed to go to chatham and instead signed a pro deal 2 months b4 the season started??

Hobart returns 23 from last year, 3 transfers( UCONN, AIC and Salve Regina) and room for only 3 first-years on the start-of-season roster. The home and away games against Utica should be awesome this year and give D3 Hockey a huge boost to the start of the season. The Cooler is even charging for tickets this year......$5......budget for it now.
