Coaches determine the best skills of their players and then develop schemes to maximize them. The staff, in my opinion, has done a great job of that defensively. Offensively, and on the power play, I don't think they've done well.
    Agreed but I find it a little disingenuous for the brother or cousin of the assistant coach come on here and defend him and blame it on the recruited talent. Lets see what "his" recruits do first and by the way Pollesello was his player in juniors and did nothing on the point and in fact led the team in minus. Those are facts. Ironic that Yale finally did something in the National Tournament when he finally wasn't there. Just sayin..

I'd be more than happy to send you gentlemen my e-mail address so you can send me your collegiate hockey resumes.
      Geez, and u thought the off season thread was going to be boring!
      Considering how close to to the season the new coaches were brought in, I thought things went about as we'll as possible. The thing that bothers me the most is how the coaches have to really play up the " All In" thing. What happened to playing for pride? Intensity can 't be coached. It should be there naturally. Hopefully this years recruits will have a different attitude and push the guys that need to be artificially pushed.

        You go ahead and post it on here.

        Frankly, I agree with Martin St Louis Fan. The new AC's just got here, give them a chance to get some guys in here and have a full off season to work with players. That said, the power play sucks AND it is not because UVM just doesn't have the skill level. It's because it has been poorly coached.

        Now PeterWallack, take the stick out of your ***, If you want to come on to this thread and make some enemies then many will be glad to oblige. If you would like to discuss hockey you may find that there is actually a fair amount of knowledge on here, especially concerning the players, the program, and yes even on possible improvements. Having a closed mind is the sign of having a weak mind.

            I'm a proud supporter of the UVM hockey program, have been since the early 90's. I'm in section 21 with a gamer jersey on. Stop by love to talk about hockey with you! Looking forward to season already!


            If you are concerned about my comments about player intensity. You should know that Coach Sneddon has made many comments about how this team needs to get back to being be a hard nosed, "Lunch Bucket" team.

                Ummmm, never mind.

                With all your great hockey intellect and knowledge maybe you could shed some light on who the untalented players are that are causing the lack of power play production, you know for all us ignorant folk.

                  That statement is factually incorrect and takes very large liberties again. The "personally" recruited part is just not true. I personally know 5-6 players on that team that were not "personally" recruited by Kyle Wallack they were "personally" recruited by CJ Marotollo so lets give credit where credit it due. Again, what exactly happened in Indiana? It just seems so suspicious getting fired right before playoffs with a wining record. Please share as maybe it would help all of us hockey idiots understand where his true motivation lies and enhance or change our/my impression of his abilities.

                          Looking forward to seeing you all at the rink. Shouldn't have trouble finding you gentlemen, you'll be the ones with the brown bags over your heads, booing.
                          See you around the rink.

                          If your brother is half the tool you seem to be I have a very bad feeling for the future of our program.

                          If hes not like you than great for us but to bad for him as we only have to deal with you in this format.
