    Stevenson, like Endicott isn't your normal run of the mill new program. They went into this with the intention of being good. They hired a proven winner coach in Dominick Dawes who won a national championship at Neumann and they gave him a full year and a half to get going on recruiting this inaugural class.

    Stevenson will be a contender in the UCHC sooner rather than later.

        That team was recruited before he got there. He was a rookie coach when they won. The system was in place far before he got there.

            Was his recruiting class not there when hockey players accounted for 97% of the schools CISIG grants in 2009-2010? (His 09-10 Class had 10 Canadians of the 12 Freshman). In the 3 years he recruited with the CISIG grants (2009-2012) he averaged nearly 80% Canadian Freshman. In the 4 recruiting classes prior it was 60% Canadian Freshman. So yes, while he wasn't directly responsible for recruiting the cheating champions, he surely didn't stop the train until they were caught. Since their infraction notice, incoming Canadian Freshman is 40% and two of Neumanns 3 worse records since the CISIG grants (excluding the original season). Seeing how Stevenson has a whole 10% of their 34 man roster Canadian, I'm guessing he learned his lesson and the only people on campus who know what "Poutine" and "Toques" are won't be only the hockey team.

              Stevenson is already a contender in the W, IMO. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see them finish 3rd, maybe even higher...

              We here in Utica (aside from his family, as far as I know ) pretty-much despise D. Dawes, but primarily because he has given UC fits since he left town. I don't know whether or not he bent the rules in the past -I'll defer to Richard Petty's credo on that one- but I'll say this: the man knows how to recruit. He even brought that houligan All-American Davis from Neumann to Stevenson with him.

              I feel that I can be a friend to all mankind via the cutesy emojis today because Utica has played so well to date. This team is as deep as the Mariana's Trench. They roll four lines, all of which swarm the O-zone like so many enraged hornets, and now that Dill has settled-in, he and Virtanen make an extremely solid tandem in net. The D very seldom does anything noticeably unwise, let alone bone-headed. I could hardly ask for more from my home-town team. But, there is one thing...

              Connor Schmidt has to stop taking selfish penalties. He hasn't played anywhere-near well enough to overlook putting his team in jeopardy with a dumb one, as he did v. Stevenson in the 3rd on Sunday. Furthermore, he's accrued too many minutes in the box this season at any rate.

              PS: Must be said: Eisenhower of LVC played a game for the ages in net on Saturday. Eye-popping, amazing performance. Never seen a better single-game outing by a goalie in 16 years of D-3. Not once.

                    Not down there!

                    (I'll admit that I'd settle for a split... Would prefer the win came at Geneva, though.)

                        Yes you did... Was surprised by the score, though. And the win at The Cooler rounded-out a great road weekend.

                        I noticed that Virtanen left the EC game late. Anyone know if he was injured?

                            Think Virtanen is fine, maybe since the score was what it was, Heenan decided give Baggetta a little playing time? Either way, 2 good wins, Hobart game was a hard fought one. Ice bags were definitely needed on both sides. Hoping Fitzpatrick is OK after that hit, hate to see a freshman go down like that. Excited to see the boys back home this weekend.

                                Oh well, it was a fun watch anyway...

                                UMB has some high-end talent. Larkin has D-1 hands, Bustard was terrific in net, the team speed was impressive. Having said that, UC was definitely on the same page and the game was a virtual toss-up in the final analysis.

                                This weekend will pay off in SOS points in any case, but it sure would be nice to beat Amherst.
