Re: Vermont Hockey: Taking No Prisoners In 2012-2013

Really?!? That's a little surprising and, again, makes me wonder what's going on with our hockey program. I'd be curious to know how he ended up at NU. If Sneddon told him he'd prefer if he used his remaining year of eligibility somewhere else, I don't have any problem with that. After all, he wasn't a key player and, frankly, won't be missed. However, if it was Marshall preferring to play for a different coach or program, I'd be interested to know why, especially when you consider all the other players that have left or been dismissed in the last couple of years.

I don't think it speaks to the hockey aspect so much. The kid is moving on to graduate work, realizes he has one year to play hockey and made a decision based on his academic preferences opposed to a few months on the ice. If he entered into a PhD program he's looking at 4-7 years and it would make sense to base that choice on his academics. Sounds as if he has decided his career in Hockey is coming to an end.

UVM starts with 9 straight Hockey East games to start the season, against teams they should be competing with. We will see early where the Cats are at. They need to start strong and never look back..R..

No OOC games to start the season though kinda takes away the chance to gel in game with the exception of the exhibition game.

Competing with Lowell? In the same way a gazelle competes with a lion?

We will see where this UVM is early on. I'm glad you are so cocky, it will make it that much sweeter if the gazelle wins.

Wow only reply #17 you Lowell guys are a little slow this year.

And besides no team ever starts the season carring if they can compete with Lowell, even bad teams have higher goals.

Lowell guys are "slow" all the time if you catch my drift.

That seems like a solid recruiting class. No grade A offensive starts since Girgensons bailed, but some definite overall upgrades and nice depth. Turk is a pleasant surprise, he was no ton my my radar. If he brings half of what Reynolds did last year that will be a big help. And Rosenthal is super young but has nice potential. Fallon will be expected to contribute and the D sound promising.

Go Cats!

You can be confident without being cocky.

Certainly not me, because it's not as fun, but you can be.

I'm looking forward to the early season tilt in Lowell. I've recommended a "Poncho Night" promotion to the marketing folks, because sitting through this slaughterfest is going to be like the first few rows at a Gallagher show.

I didn't notice it in the press release, but I'm assuming he's coming in as a RS Soph?

They are also playing on Saturday and Sunday at other rinks in the Burlington area. See the schedule http://www.southkentschool.org/athle...ts Hockey U-16.

Hingham’s Marshall will skate his final season at Northeastern
http://www.boston.com/sports/college...ern/?page=full - September 6, 2012 -

Hingham’s Marshall to play for Huskies His college hockey career has come full circle. As a junior at Hingham High in 2006, Matt Marshall verbally committed to play at Northeastern University. However, Marshall then transferred to Noble and Greenough in Dedham, repeated his junior year, and signed a letter of intent to play at Vermont. Marshall graduated from UVM this past spring, but has a year of eligibility remaining after receiving a medical redshirt as a senior, when a groin injury limited him to two games. Now healthy, the 6-foot-1, 200-pound Marshall has enrolled in the MBA program at Northeastern, where he will use his final year of eligibility. He is one of 12 recruits for second-year coach Jim Madigan, but among three with previous college experience. The 24-year-old Marshall brings veteran leadership to the Huskies while being able to contribute immediately. “It’s kind of funny because I was supposed to go to Northeastern in the first place,” said Marshall, whose father, Ken, played football for the Huskies from 1971 to 1972. “Right now I don’t know anyone so I’m just excited to get to know the guys on the team and I’m looking forward to the season. I expect to contribute immediately.” “These cases are few and far between,” Madigan said of adding a veteran presence, albeit only for one season. “For Matt, it’s a transition from one Division 1 program to another, not a transition from high school to D1 hockey. That’s the nice part about it. He’s a seasoned Division 1 player who will help us off and on the ice.” After collecting 25 goals and 26 assists as a senior at Nobles, Marshall never developed into a consistent scorer at Vermont, totaling five goals and nine assists in 86 games. He also missed nine games due to injury. Madigan expects Marshall to be more productive at NU. “His numbers might not indicate that over his career at Vermont, but his skating and his ability to get to the net quickly will give him some quality looks around the net and we hope to capitalize on that,” said the coach. “He pursues pucks very well and gives you versatility in that he can play center, left wing, or on the right side. He can push the opposition beyond their comfort level because of his speed.” Marshall is just happy to have another chance Drafted in the fifth round of the 2007 NHL First-Year Player draft by Tampa Bay, Marshall was not sure if he would play again after undergoing groin surgery during Christmas break last year. “I thought there was a 50-50 chance of getting back, but the recovery took longer than expected,” said Marshall. “It was pretty depressing. I had missed time with some injuries before, but nothing even close to that. Obviously no one wants that to happen in their senior year, which is why it’s nice to have another opportunity.”

Re: Vermont Hockey: Taking No Prisoners In 2012-2013

I've been wondering... with the NHL possibly going into lockout mode does that make Girgenson eligible to play. I suspect not as he has signed a contract with a professional organization, but if he hasn't played a game, attended camp, or drawn a paycheck does that make him technically still an amateur?

Again, my guess is he can not. Just wondering if anyone actually knows for sure.

Gone baby gone... regardless of lockout.

Lockout looks imminent (September 15 deadline)........Girgenson maybe should have thought twice about the pro move. Playing in Europe might be good for him though as he would get closer to true home.
