Originally posted by pokecheckguy2 View Postwas just informed of the news as someone has shared a tweet with me that I now see has become very popular but Ryan St. Louis, Martin's son has committed to NORTHEASTERN. Sneddon will never be able to live this one down and to me good he should not be able to! But you know what Marty has never ever liked Sneddon since day 1 so this is what happens - here is a kid that should have been a Catamount spent all his summers in VT since he was born and not because who his dad is but he is a legit talent like his dad!! To go to a rival and Northeastern is a true punch to the gutt! Say what you want about kids making their own choice but we know this CHOICE was made long ago...Marty knows as long as Sneddon is around even with his name in the rafters his sons careers will be jeopardized by this staff and he's not the only one!!
I am sure people will defend Sneddon on this one but all this shows is that even if Marty wanted his son to be his own man that he doesn't believe in the program! Speaks VOLUMES!!

Originally posted by VTALUM View PostSad to say it, but I don’t blame the St. Louis family one bit for this decision. Would you put your talented son’s future in Sneddon’s hands? The truth is that the Sneddon regime has ruined more talent than it’s fostered.
Also Dom Ducharme named assistant coach for the Montreal Canadiens! Great news for him! Hopefully he becomes a NHL head coach soon the ship has sailed on UVM making him their next coach that is for sure!

Not keeping in-state talent in such a small state should raise some red flagsLast edited by TovarishchLisa; 04-30-2018, 12:04 PM.https://twitter.com/TheVTHockeyBlog

Re: UVM 2018 Offseason - A Punch to the Gutt
Not defending Sneddon here at all, because I would very much prefer to be starting next season with someone else behind the bench...
BUT...
Could it be that the St. Louis family didn't want their son to be under Marty's Shadow? Literally playing under the St. Louis name in the rafters? That would seem to add an extra layer of pressure and the kid would never have the opportunity to make a name for himself. While it would be awesome to see another St. Louis on the ice at Gutterson, I think they made the right choice no matter who is behind the bench.Originally posted by HokydadMaine will be better this year relative to rankings than BC will be this year

I think so many better players including the so called blue chip players that people say UVM will never get would come here because UVM has so much going for it as a school and area that some can look beyond facilities but that means you need the right coach and the right coach in the modern game of college hockey is either coaches who won national titles or coaches who have strong NHL connections and understand to develop guys no matter where they get them! Sneddon checks none of those boxes! joke in the college game, joke to the pro game and joke to the high school coaches around here who know they don't have enough talent to sent to UVM but don't even convince the locals to stay!!

Sneddon burned one year last year and next year is yeR 2. He is clearly is Hockey East coach most on hot seat. Meanwhile while there are lots of excellent potential assistants in Hockey to vying for a Head Coach job. The hottest and most experienced is Jerry Keefe. He clearly wants a school who has good potential to succeed UVM meets that criteria, more so then Merromack who distanced self from. Keefe has already established a track record of taking his recruits with him—see Kevin Roy and the NU people said acton Reese. Keefe now has licked in the chip to separate him from the other candidates and to insure Sneddon is gone
Hey that is less bizarre then most conspiracy theories.Let's Go Pirates!
