  • Merrimack Offseason Thread - Summer 2013 - Hampus on Campus

    Nobody has broken the ice, so allow me to do the honors. Gone are Bigos, Heffernan, Brodhag and Drew.

    Into the mix are the new crop of freshmen:

    F Chris LeBlanc (drafted by OTT)
    F Hampus Gustafsson
    F Alex Holland

    D Craig Wyszomirski
    D Jonathan Lashyn

    G Joseph Pantalone

    The team has only lost 9% of its scoring from last year - that's somewhere to start - other thoughts/predictions/airing of grievances?
    "Get used to this drill, we'll be doing it a lot."
    "Why?"
    "Because the legs feed the wolf, gentlemen..."

    9% of not much scoring. Hopefully some of the new blood can pick up the slack here. I still think we will have strength in goal and D. This Wyszogdgfhdfhgfgsgski guy can hopefully fill the gap Bigos left on the ice without putting us down a man on a regular basis.

    Some interesting OOC opponents this year including The Q and the reigning champs Yale. Frozen Fenway should be awesome. ND has to grace us with a game. There will be a Merrimack fan section in Denver as well.

    Very much looking forward to seeing the new lobby and facilities at the Lawler!

        Holland could be a very nice player over ext 4 years. Might have the best shot in Hockey East, which is saying a lot.
        If he keeps working as hard as he has past few summers could be a solid player+

          Serious question why couldn't he put up a point per game in juniors if he has best shot in HE?

            Did very well on a poor BCHL team year before. Several nagging injuries all season. Skated hard in a 9 week pro GRP all summer and is coming in 100%

            Has worked for years with a guy from Toronto called the "Shot Doctor". Alsohas worked with Tavaes and others. Watch warm ups etc

              I am guessing this is the guy: http://www.shoottoscore.ca/page/show...-about-dr-shot

              Hopefully the "Shot Doctor" can help MC's PP - which was 7th in-conference last year...

                    Just brought the Denver tickets for both nights. Is anyone else going? I know that Yuppie Scum is going, what are everyone's plans. Got a walking breweries tour at 3 and I am excited for the season. Just think the season starts in under a month. I would love a return trip to McGill so I could rip up St. Catherine St.

                      Might be late now but we also got $40 tickets to Broncos-Jags that sunday out in denver. They have a "half price sale" to offset the millions the city gave them for the stadium. I agree, a trip to McGill would be sweet, maybe they can play Concordia and UQAM too.

                        All my hype and young Mr Holland has decided to not attend Merrimack and not play anymore. Gotta give the kid credit for being upfront and not doing it half way thru and making it a distraction. College is not for everyone. To bad as he would have been a good fit

                          Looks like Drew Vogler might be a huge pickup for Merrimack. He's stopped 48 of 49 in his first two games in Corpus Christi in NAHL. His rights are owned by Cedar Rapids so he'll be in USHL next year one would assume.

                            Cedar Rapids is in a great situation for next year. We currently have 2 goalies this year that are '15 commit years. Chris Birdsall (BC) and Danny Tirone (UNH). Add to that Drew Vogler who has started his NAHL career on fire. My guess and it is purely a guess, 1 of the 3 will be dealt mid to late this year.
