I just called the commissioner's office (518) 944-3131 and was told that they were just informed that the streaming was not working and they are now working on it. Some things never change.

FINISHING 16th in a 12 team league is quite a feat.

Are any Union people coming out to Duluth for the ice breaker?

16th would be nice at the end of the season. It's doable if the team manages to click early enough.

Re: Union College: 2017-2018

We are being picked in the middle for the ECAC. Both coaches and sportswriters poll us as 6th. I say somewhere in the middle 4. I would also put us in the middle 25 - 35 in the NCAA. Can the coaches use the first half to shore up defense and make a run in the ECAC for the second half? Could we make it to Lake Placid?
Next year we may only lose 2 starters and with another good recruiting class, I see us being very strong. This year the coaches must develop the team. BU will be a very good test. Maier and Scarfo played excellent last year in Boston. I like this team. Acid in the gut. They have the charcater. Can they develop the talent?

Re: Union College: 2017-2018

BU is picked to win HE. We are picked 6th in the ECAC. Could be a blowout. Who is going to start in goal?

Re: Union College: 2017-2018

Last year at Agganis, Scarfo was outstanding. He was all over the ice checking the monstrous (size) BU blueliners along the boards when they were bringing the puck up. I am just looking for 60 minutes of intense hockey. This is a chance to start developing the team for League play. See you at the game.

“I was just listening to a couple questions about a couple teams with tough schedules, and I look at ours, and this, arguably, is the toughest schedule I’ve seen in my time at Union,” head coach Rick Bennett said

Re: Union College: 2017-2018

Good effort by you guys tonight. For the majority of the game, the play was even. BU took over in the third period, but Union still had some chances to tie it up late before the 2 ENGs. I don't think you guys are going to fall too far down the standings from your recent history. Good luck the rest of the way.

Re: Union College: 2017-2018

Lots of positives to take away from tonight. That is one hell of a BU team. Penalties and HE refs killed us. Basically, a 1-1 game with 6 minutes left. Two empty net goals.

Re: Union College: 2017-2018

Lots of good things. Looked like the first game of the season: lots of penalties, too many small approximations.
I saw nothing bad though. Gives me hope for later games. Lots of passion on the ice, you can tell all the kids (including BUs) wanted to do well and were eager to play.
