    I know that I tend to have a tendency to look down on the ECAC - NE (or whatever they call it now), and Endicott's success last year in just missing out on the FF suggests that I need to rethink that. Salve has has historically been a really bad program, so that was definitely coloring my view of the game. Pressure is off now - no worries about going undefeated. Now the real work starts with the Boston duo coming in next weekend.

    Certainly the recruiting landscape has changed a lot over the past 10 years. So many good players are out there and there are only so many spots to fill. Endicott has a nice campus and great on-campus facility and a good recruiting team, which is why they were good day one, much like Adrian was 10 years ago. In Salve's case, they have had solid recruiting the past 6 years so and beat Trinity the year after they won the championship and Endicott last year in addition to winning the ECAC Northeast a few years ago, so while they are not at the consistent caliber of the Norwich's, Hobarts, Trinity's of the world, they have made a steady climb over the last 5-6 years. In respect to campus living, Salve's campus in Newport, RI is very hard to beat, if they had a rink on campus they would be even better.

      I was told Norwich recruited eight of the players that are currently playing for Salve...if that gives you any idea how far the program has come.

        And I am sure all eight of those players were talking to D1 programs at some point. D3 Hockey is very good hockey for sure

          I've been checking the different media outlets, and while I haven't seen any pictures, I did come across this in the Times-Argus:

          "Jack Billings and Evan Schmidbauer scored first-half goals for Salve Regina before Danny Eruzione extended the lead to 3-0 in the third quarter."

          First-half goals? Third quarter? How do sports writers in Vermont not know basic hockey terminology?

                          Game Day! Hope that crowd last week wasn't just there for the banner ceremony. Should be a fantastic weekend of hockey, Go Norwich!

                            Tim Costello has Norwich winning tonight 4-3. Any comments from the younger, but more experienced members? Sorry I missed anybody looking for me after the Homecoming parade.

                              Going to be a battle. UMB scored 15 goals last weekend. They'll be hungry to make up for two losses last year.
