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."

As good as the previous head coach was for most of his long career, he never really did figure out the part where the team ever consistently finished the season stronger than they started it.Sworn Enemy of the Perpetually Offended

After huge week at USA Hockey Select 16s, Daniyal Dzhaniyev (NJ Titans) commits to Penn State. 13 pts in 6 games, including 4 pts in All-Star game, selected for Five Nations. Small, highly skilled, kept popping up in all the right places on ice. Also offered NTDP contract.

Evidence of why trying to sell tradition is a losing man's game. Sell the future, not the past.
On Providence also shops at the 02 camp, getting Cushing Defenseman Bryce Montgomery. Should be other commits following on the heels of the camps.Last edited by NCAA watcher; 07-17-2018, 02:19 PM.The Souza record:

In Greek mythology Sisyphus was the king of Ephyra. He was punished for his self-aggrandizing craftiness and deceitfulness by being forced to roll an immense boulder up a hill, only for it to roll down when it nears the top, repeating this action for eternity. Through the classical influence on modern culture, tasks that are both laborious and futile are therefore described as Sisyphean.
If we leave out the parallels resulting in our hero's fate (I know some posters on here would argue, pro and con), I would say that Coach rolled that boulder increasingly further up the hill for the first half of his UNH career, right up until Buffalo in 2003. After that, he could only get that boulder up the same hill shorter and shorter distances from the top, until the end when he couldn't even get it moving at all.
Having said that … even in his final season, he was able to maintain "Champions of November" form.

What follows is the Wikipedia blurb outlining the Greek mythology of someone who arguably had the same career arc as our former HC:
