Re: UNION Hockey National Champion's Off Season-U Believe it?

I realy like Colgate. I see in them the same "acid in the gut" that I saw in the Dutchman at the start of this year. I think they realized, after the fact, that they could have made it to the FF. Plus, aren't they going to get a new barn? Yep, next years ECAC Frozen 4 participant - Colgate. Not sure who the other three ECAC Frozen 4 participants will be

He was a joy to watch. I'm struggling to remember an individual player that took over a game in a FF the way that he did. Man amongst boys and I believe that his obvious confidence rubbed off on his mates.

Before my time, but Dan Lodboa 1970 might come close. He scored a natural, pure hat trick in a 7:14 span of the 3rd period against Clarkson to break open a 3-3 tie - including a SHG during a 5x3. He let Cornell in scoring that year, the only defenseman who has ever done so.

Still...plus 7? *shaking head in amazement*

Re: UNION Hockey National Champion's Off Season-U Believe it?

Union has a very good class coming in, including two promising defensemen. The pipeline isn't dry.

Roman Ammirato, Center, Amarillo Bulls (NAHL) 17 G, 30 A
Kevin Shier, Forward, Toronto Lakeshore Patriots (OJHL) 21 G, 33 A
Ryan Scarfo, Left Wing, Powell River Kings (BCHL) 17 G, 31 A
Tyler, Hynes, Right Wing, Fargo Force (USHL) 12 G, 7 A
Nick Desimone, Defenseman Buffalo Jr. Sabres (OJHL) 13 G, 38 A
Connor Light, Defenseman, Omaha Lancers (USHL) 3 G, 7 A


Seems like a solid class, I know Scarfo was getting NHL looks earlier in the year. I also like how most of these guys have 30+ assists.

Someone is going to pick up Carr and I bet we lose Colin Stevens. Alex looked very good in his last two starts ......

Re: UNION Hockey National Champion's Off Season-U Believe it?

Stevens wasn't his best during the frozen four, maybe the pressure got to him a little. I expect to see Stevens back next year, a one year sample size is too small in my opinion.

Re: UNION Hockey National Champion's Off Season-U Believe it?

I don't see Stevens going anywhere. I would be shocked if Daniel Carr isn't signed. Edmonton could be a great fit being his home town.

Re: UNION Hockey National Champion's Off Season-U Believe it?

Congrats to Shayne. Losing Bodie and Shayne will be very tough to overcome.

Lately it seems we say that every year, and every year we bounce back. That's the way it is with good programs. When Stevens leaves, whether it be now or after graduation, I have a feeling that Alex will step up as another top Union goalie.

Well, I agree Colgate being a top ECAC team. But Brown and Dartmouth next?? I said I thought Brown would be better but not that much better!!

Can someone find SB Nation's predictions from last year at this time?

Union above Dartmouth...also Brown will have two very, very legit scoring lines next winter. Check out how Dartmouth finished and who they bring back. Dealt with a lot of injuries this past season.

1. Colgate
2. Brown
3. Union
4. Dartmouth
5. Quinnipiac
6. Harvard
7. Yale
8. Clarkson
9. RPI
10. Cornell
11. St. Lawrence
12. Princeton

I'll admit in my preseason rankings from last fall I had the wrong Capital District team winning the ECAC. I had RPI, QU, Union, Yale as my preseason top 4.
