Player Spotlight on Patrick Grasso

Am really, really excited about Patrick joining the 'Cats in the Fall...do you expect him to make an immediate impact??

Also, more on Lucas Bahn (Thanks for tweeting this Mike...)

Okay. I guess the link doesn't work but Tony Granato named HC at his Alma Mater Wisconsin!

They have any alums who scored more points? Granato racked up 220 in FOUR (Chuck!) seasons, 1983-1987.

At least one, the guy he replaced had a program-best 267...

The hiring of Greg Carvel at UMass is a negative for UNH- big budget and backing from the head of UMass system who helped Lowell turn it around

Nice '98 pick up for Michigan State today - a team with garbage facilities, a dead coach walking and in even more dire straights than UNH. Though, maybe Khodorenko visited East Lansing during the Wildcat weekend and thinks hes joining a juggernaut...??

Re: UNH Commits & Recruiting: 2016 and Beyond

Khodorenko has played hockey in Michigan (Honeybaked & NTDP) for the last 4 years. He is a center who, if he actually enrolls at Michigan State, would be a freshman next fall. He was not a target of UNH. He was considering BC, Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin. The Silvertips of the WHL have been hot on his trail for 3 years and probably haven't given up yet.

A line of BvR (left shot LW), Liam Blackburn (left shot Center) and Patrick Grasso (right shot RW) would be fun to watch.

Easier said than done. Unless UMass Amherst hired Coach Bazin, I really don't see this hire of a just over .500 ECAC coach being that big a deal. Hopefully UNH is focused on getting back to the top tier of HE - not just staying ahead of traditional cellar-dweller programs like UMass. If this is even on Souza's radar, we are in deep doo doo.

Oh, yeah, of course, duh on me. Also, has the highest number of posts for a "fire coach" thread.

I wouldn't look to much into Carvel's record the first 2 years. The cupboard at St Lawrence was so bare before he got there. The last 2 years should be something you should look more at. Two top 4 finishes with trips to lake placid each year. The program was well on its way back.

There's a big difference between the cupboard being bare, and the well being poisoned.

Great story; four years and 100+ points for USHL Des Moines Bucanneers. Maybe he can do the same with UNH.
