Re: UMass Lowell Off-Season 2017: Next verse, same as the first
Norm was hired 6 years ago today. To say that he was the right choice is a HUGE understatement.

I'm fairly certain Lowell is playing ASU in Arizona on or around Jan 12th & 13th based on a Norm interview from last season where he said the return trip would be 2nd weekend of January 2018.

If you guys are planning on going, be aware that there is a Rock 'n' Roll Marathon/Half Marathon/10K on Sunday and a 5K on Saturday that weekend in Tempe/Phoenix with probably close to 15,000 people if the entrants are similar to last year's race. Hotel rooms may be at a premium. Book early for hotel rooms and prepare for road closures and detours getting to the airport if you're flying out Sunday morning/afternoon. The only reason I know about it is because my wife was looking at that race and the date sounded familiar. So we might be there for those games representing Lowell!

If we turn over two assistants in an offseason that may be a little much for any program... we shall see

did I screw something up... didn't one of ours get a HC job or have i lost track of our assistants?
I'm out of the loop at times since I'm not close, so I admit I may have screwed something up

Lowell's earned and built respect over the past several seasons. It seems like it's almost expected now nationally that Lowell just reloads/plugs in players and the success continues. Not like a BC or BU type of reload with blue chippers, but Lowell-type guys. Did we honestly think that given the goalie question marks preseason that in the end, Lowell would end up where they did? I'll admit to being a little nervous for next season given the losses on offense and defense but Edwardh, Lohin, and a few others inspire confidence while Mulleur and Goransson are more than capable. Add in some of the Lowell-type recruits coming in (I'm looking forward to seeing monster defenseman Evingson) and I think they'll be in the mix again next season.
