Re: Bentley University Hockey 2016-2017: The (Max) French Revolution

Only 72 days before puck drops between Falcons and Cats.

Still bummed that it is happening over Columbus Day break. The UNH game last year was over a break as well, if I recall

Right you are; the Saturday after Thanksgiving last fall. Works for me, as I am not a student. :-)

TJ Dumonceaux put up some impressive numbers in Junior (BCHL) with 57GP and 47 PTS, freshman year his numbers haven't resembled his junior days but that isn't surprising it can take a year to acclimatize to the college game and start to get the positive ice time. Andy Chugg it is harder to make the comparison as he is a defenseman, but at 6' 4" it can also take a year to grow into the feet and also get acclimatized.

Players coming out of the USHL which is a faster league come acclimatized, while some out of other leagues tend to need a year to make the transition IMHO. Watching the player however one can realize potential, not having seen these players tough to comment other than to wish the players well.

Chugg never really got much playing time, but his size was definitely helpful with this relatively small team. Dumonceaux took me by surprise when I saw he wasn't on the roster, as he showed a lot of hustle and promise in the games the played before getting hurt last season.

Not much chatter on here about our opening game in less than 16 days. Big question is how well Bentley fans will travel on a long weekend without classes on Monday and Tuesday?

Don't expect too big a crowd. A few members of the Top Shelf will be in attendance, but I doubt too many other students will make the trip.

Frozen Fenway vs. Army on Jan 5th.

Someone needs to alert Fenway Sports Management that Bentley College went away during the Bush administration.

Last visit to Frozen Fenway for Falcons was 28 December 2013 in which Bentley beat Holy Cross 3-2.

There can be only one (BU)!

I guess you'll just have to take their head.

Same can be said of BC.

Could have simply kept use of one word, Bentley.
