UNH Wildcats 2017/2018 - Umile's Last Stand - The Grand Finale

Re: UNH Wildcats 2017/2018 - Umile's Last Stand - The Grand Finale

Just read on Twitter that UNH will be replacing the Club Cat HC; announced he will retire from coaching. They competed in the Championships this past weekend and lost in the Semi's. Steve McIssaac did a great job with that program!

They won the national championship four years ago.

I know! I went to college and played lax with the HC's mother in law; I started following the team when I found out the connection. He (Steve) seems like a great guy many of his former players are commenting on Twitter about him. His wife played FH on Bently's team that won a NC; quite the athletic family. Three little boys maybe future Wildcats???

Or, future Falcons?

Ha!! I knew this was coming...lol Actually it could be a push-pull with UMaine as his wife Jen was a Maine supporter (is from Maine)...

Not to mention UNH fans, BU fans including mookie are still leaving 1 point (4 oz beer) on the table in the HEA championship contest on the previous page.

OK...so there's kind of a strong "hint" in there; however, it's gotta be BC (obviously I looked this up on the Hockey East website so I suppose that disqualifies me anyway).

Combined record of Ceglarski and York: 68-26-2 .708.

If you don't impose a "minimum games" requirement then it's Lowell, but that's not really fair using a 25 game sample size.

Here are the other percentages for the coaches who have been there a "long" time:

Coach	Record	Win %
Steve Stirling - PC	4-0-0	1.000
Jerry York - BC	58-19-1	.743
Norm Bazin - Lowell	19-6-0	.760
Sean Walsh - Maine	34-15-0	.693
Jack Parker - BU	62-35-1	.632
Jim Madigan - Northeastern	9-6-0	.600
David Quinn - BU	6-4-0	.600
Dick Umile - UNH	51-39-1	.560
Len Ceglarski - BC	10-7-1	.555
Nate Leaman - PC	11-10-0	.523

Jeff Jackson (ND) and Tim Whitehead (Maine) are AT .500. Believe it or not, ALL of the other coaches are below .500

Bazin has the highest percentage but it's only 25 games. My guess is the previous Lowell coaches bring down the overall percentage.

Lowest has to be UMass. Combined record for Carvel and Micheletto is 1-7-0 (.125)

We should invite Mookie...would he travel to cowhampsha??? I personally like simple contests, like, who's gonna win the HE?

More evidence of the sheer awesomeness that is Norm Bazin (as if further evidence is even necessary).

Way, way too much info, maybe approaching HR's feared "word problem on the math exam." These two parts of the contest pertain only to the HEA championship games. Chuck and mookie essentially determined the lowest percentage wins by teams in those games, shared by the three teams that are 0-1, so 0.000% (or, 0%, nada, nil, zero 0%) wins. Some simple math involved in calculating the team with the highest winning percentage in those HEA championship games. Yes, I added a strong hint earlier, too. :-)

Yeah that's how I feel too. I don't mind watching but I just can't make myself do the research.
But I always do this bit of research after each season. The old what are we losing and how might we look toward next year game. I always want to know what percentage of our scoring we are losing and how did the remaining classes do, and then speculation for the future.
Seniors - G A P
18 42 60

Juniors - G A P
24 31 54

Sophs. - G A P
24 31 54

Fresh - G A P
23 47 70

Initial thoughts? Very even distribution of goal scoring.
Only losing 27% of total points and 20% of goals. Unusually low!
What if PG was healthy?
Annual totals the lowest in years. Need Dan's 2 big guns to be found before August.

Then we can title next season's thread "The Guns of August"

Thanks for doing the heavy lifting on these stats, ATW. Much lower points percentage from seniors than what we lost after last season, which is one reason why I think that we cannot do worse than three or four other HEA teams next season. Hey, despite the incompetence at all levels, and the worst record in Div 1 hockey over the final three months, we only dropped to 52nd in PWR and could have earned home ice in the MBPBEGAM round had we won just two additional games after semester break.

Might be a long flight. He took a job overseas (Asia/Middle East). They have problems with ice there too...
