Re: UNH 2018 Offseason- Out with the old , in with the semi new?
You know what I liked/appreciated MOST about last night? There's was no 'resting on our UNH laurels" in Souza's speech. He said (more than once) we are hard at work righting things to reclaim our spot in Hockey East, and the nation.
He recognizes this is the here and now and that's there's work to be done and they are rolling up their sleeves to do it. Not going to happen overnight...but I believe the strong commitment is there and that is the first step. That does not take away from the fact that UNH has a rich history of success on the ice and that is a lot to be proud of.
If they make the HE tournament...will most fans be satisfied with that this season? Will that be a benchmark for success? I think so....it's a goal that is doable, not lofty as far as I see it...
Next...recruiting...huge...

As we can see, a good goalie can lift a program. #swayman #tytaylor

'Watcher (and who ever else might have insight) who at this recent camp (Selects 16) would UNH be interested in if they had a 'wish list' of sorts? Am assuming that some/many have already committed?Here we go 'Cats!!

Re: UNH 2018 Offseason- Out with the old , in with the semi new?
I stopped paying attention after the past five years of UNH having no chance at any top players -- it's irrelevant seeing who USHR and Jeff Cox identify as the top players at the camp, because UNH no longer is in the running for any of them. But I would love to see some signal that UNH is aggressive going after top kids at a younger age. Signaling that you are still a player is as important as actually getting the kids.
Here's the guys who made the USA select 17 team (the non Development Team guys)

Top scorers
https://teamusa.usahockey.com/page/s...velopment-camp
You also have Scott Morrow who didn’t make the tourney all-star team, so seems to have had a weak camp.
https://teamusa.usahockey.com/tourna...3f6d65230000ab
and Riley Duran from Souza’s GBL network in Woburn and Malden Catholic, now going to play for Robbie Barker at Lawrence. https://teamusa.usahockey.com/tourna...3f6d6523000020
Jackson Pierson teammate Patrick Schmeidlin so maybe a connection there. https://teamusa.usahockey.com/tourna...3f6d65230000b0
Shattuck d David Ma from out east here. And Florida’s Avery Winslow.
Goalie Gavin Fitzpatrick, who is in that second tier behind Commesso.
And if you want to dream about higher end but risky kids, a really small kid is Dzhaniyev.

I won't be a believer until I see evidence that there is a sense of urgency to act. The assistant coach fiasco is the latest example, hopefully there was learning that happened for the next issue.

Originally posted by HockeyRef View PostWe shall see how the goalie situation unfolds and a lot will depend on how recruiting goes. How many more seasons do you think you guys will have Swayman for? He had a very good dev camp from what I gathered. The vibe was positive last night; I mean, just felt like people felt good about what's to come while understanding where we are. It was a good move on the program's part to put the new coach in front laying out his plan early on, and having most of the team there was a bonus. Very successful outing for everyone.

I am cheering for the monster year since that means great things for Maine.
On the schedule... I know weird. But overall this is an improvement. The past few years Maine's schedule was terrible.

Jeff Giuliano goes back to school
http://www.unionleader.com/article/2...TS07/180719638
Jeff Giuliano reached three Frozen Fours and won the 2001 national championship but he never once left the Whittemore Center victorious during his career at Boston College.
"There's just something about this place," Giuliano said. "I can't put my finger on it right now but the connection I had when I came up here, I just wanted to be here and now that I'm here, it's great and I'm so excited."
I will not be out cheered in my own building.
