    Next year, and for the next few years, this matchup's course will be defined by depth on the blue line. Hobart's old back there now and will lose a lot... Utica desperately needs to shore up their depth and have six healthy guys... You have....

    Bors-Stefan
    Carter-Szajner

    That's a group of four i'm comfortable with. The kid they just committed from the OJ is a brick house. Huge kid. Forward and goaltending they're going to be fine, Ammirato's back, they need to find someone fast enough to play the wing with him opposite Justin, but that should be easy enough. There's enough back on the roster to ensure a progression.... but they need two-three more legitimate D. You can play Schultz or Grose, or Bart as a spare.... but none of those three are what i'd call "every day guys". The OJ kid should help there, he'll kind of be replacement Kirisits I suppose.

    I think they go as far as their D Zone depth takes them next year. For now, it's the Hobart show again.
    Bartell isn't a defenseman, at least not listed as one. I think they dressed him a few nights and Schultz one night to have enough players. Both guys really only saw a shift or 2 of ice time, I noticed guys were getting double shifted a lot the last few games. Going forward, I expect the defense to be solid, the few games Grose played he was pretty good. If Borsoi can play like he did the last 2 games, between him and Carter, I expect some good scoring chances from our defense.

      Bart played a bit of that in Juniors, but yeah, him, Schultzy, and Grose are kind of in-and-out ice time guys at this juncture, honestly. They'll put Max where they have to and let him run, he plays the game the right way for a bruising type, he really does. Grose is a bit of a project player but still gave them a couple of solid games at midyear. On D, provided that depth gets shored up a bit more (Wait until you see this new kid), you're going to see more of the same in terms of offensive presence, so you're absolutely right on that front. Borsoi, Carter, Szajner, and Stefan are going to pretty much have the green light to release and activate at will, and that's a pretty good veteran group to be able to do that with. Bors and Vinny are both coming off the best offensive years of their career.

      Oh, as for the new kid, get a look at this....

          Oh I know.... i'm the one who asked that question and got it on record and then completely forgot it here because well, i'm not used to this whole not having Hobart in the conference thing (And i'm stuck in NCAA tournament land at the moment, enjoying that for all it's worth), but I don't think anyone is used to this yet. Just like i'll probably accidentally call it the ECAC West a few times come November. Like a kid coming back and writing the previous year on his papers after christmas break, I have old habits and they're definitely going to die hard here, may as well start my mental cleanse now haha.

          Anyway, they'll iron something out eventually, I have a feeling they will. It's a good SOS game for both, good overall criteria game, and on travel it's a solid drive to decently visiting team friendly facilities as far as logistical things like locker rooms, postgame meals, etc. go. Even if they book something once per year, I eventually see it happening. Short term schedule commitments can make it tough to do something of that nature right away..... but as those open up, I suspect something will be worked out.

                  He will be back after all. Change of plans. Got a one year deferral. Will be attending Yale Law after the upcoming season after a grad year at Utica.... as a co captain.

                    Congratulations to Ray Biggs on his new gig as UCHC SID -yes, my bold - but he'll be sorely missed by the hardcore Utica fanbase here. Ray is a D-3 maven who provided us with many an insightful nugget, and was the best analyst ESPN-UR has ever had by a country mile. I'm hopeful that he had a hand in selecting his replacement...

                      Biggsy stated on twitter the day after the announcement that he intended to continue all of his current roles, and this new gig will just be a new responsibility piled on top.

                              looks like another good D1 prospect.
