Norwich 2015-16 - 17 straight ECAC East titles and counting....

[PrezdeJohnson09]

Cadets's first game is fast approaching - 23 Oct. Any insight into team chemistry and how the new recruits are fitting in and responding to the speed of play? Realizing it's early, but anyone standing out and/or looking like they'll contribute immediately?

Official practices start Oct. 18. Unless people have gone to Montpelier, no one but the team has seen each other skate.

I thought the 15th was the start?? or is that captains practice or pink bunny skate??

So in the course of your duties, have you had the opportunity for idle chat with some of the players?

It changed last year to having to do with your first game date rather than a flat Oct. 15.

Unfortunately been too wrapped up in the fall sports to have much time for puck. That will be changing though soon!

I'll see if I can get down to a practice in a couple weeks

Back in the day, when there were no facemasks and redlines, I helped make the ice at the Walker (Clarkson) Arena. Interestingly, we used less water then than what you currently use, but probably close to what Platty currently uses.

back in my day at The Golden Romney Fieldhouse,Oswego for those outside Oz, the players were charged with coming to the rink at all hours to water the ice,refreshments were always at hand

And I bet you used more water to make ice @ Romney than they currently do @ the Campus Center

Norwich's exhibition game vs. Saint Jerome has been canceled due to scheduling conflicts.

Big disappointment for me.......I haven't seen a live Norwich game in 4 years and finally talked my wife into staying north for it instead of taking off for Florida our usual time. Just what is the Maroon and Gold annual scrimmage? Not a game, but at least must showcase the players, especially the new ones. What is the format and is it long enough to stay here in the cold and travel over to Northfield...... Or just a fancy practice? Remember I'm 80.

Sorry NU56,

We're disappointed too. Unfortunately game couldn't happen due to a scheduling miscommunication.

The Maroon & Gold game is a fancy practice as you put it. Not a real game, practice situations with power play, penalty kill, 4v4, 3v3 situations etc.

The new players will be suited up though!

Thanks........Does it last a couple of hours or is it long enough to travel over from the Plattsburgh area for an old
geezer?
