Cornell is good this year, good luck to your seniors.

I kind of want to be super-negative about the season now that it's over, but this is the first time in our D-1 history Quinnipiac finished under .500. I will choose to celebrate the fact that this season was a severe aberration. We don't even have to wonder whether it was -- we know it was.

We'll be back.

Over coffee this morning a friend of mine calmly said of his experience watching Bobcats this year was "they play blue line to blue line", and that made sense to me. Is there an elite Defenseman in the pipeline? Seems the were just getting bat too often at their own and, which stunts offensive play. I have to say it has been a pleasure this past season and I await next season but no as much as I awaiting this season to begin - - and what a big disappointment this group turned out to be, from a record point-of-view only....as young men, they make me proud by just being good ambassadors of life - - they are not making excuses and played an honorable set of games versus Cornell despite humiliating loss they will use for growth over the off season and I hope Cornell is ready next year...they beat, they schooled, they humiliated a young team. What goes around comes around.....need to add a solid BIG body on D!

OK season is over and although disappointing things could have been worse. Looking forward to next year I have a question for those that may be more knowledgeable about one of our current players. Dan Nybondas was a freshman this year but did not play. Any one have any ideas if you look at his record he looked like a promising forward. What I have found searching the internet is that his last team was in Finland in their Jr. A SM-liiga league. I have read that it might be considered a professional league. Is that the issue and hes not NCAA eligible? Did he need to sit out a year or did the coaching staff just feel he was not ready. Any thoughts?

I heard it was eligibility and thought he was good to go for the 2nd half.

Dom Fensore '01 with the USA U17 team is an elite offensive defenseman that can move the puck in a flash
Peter Diliberatore '00 is a very good puck mover as well. Played for Salisbury this year. Might be coming in as a true freshman straight from prep next year but have yet to confirm.

It was a year he had to sit because he probably would have played if it wasn't. He was kind of a project as well and not sure where he will fit next season with the glut of forwards they are bringing in.
