    Re: A.I.C. Summer of 2014

    As a traditionalist, I hope AIC is still on the UConn schedule. They are the Huskies' oldest and most played opponent. I believe AIC was the first team UConn played when they began playing varsity hockey, and the first team they played in the D1 era, and AIC opened the "new" Freitas Forum. It would be a shame to lose that connection.

        We may be playing one game vs Clarkson, and I would then hope a second vs St. Lawrence.
        Almost definitely a game vs Amherst at the Mass Mutual Center.

        Then they will have three left, so I could see easily one going to UCONN. UCONN will have 12 OOC games?

          I think that there will be a lot AHA teams licking their chops for continued games with UConn, now that the Huskies are OOC games.

            Right, but I'm not sure how many slots are still available. The Huskies have Union, the NJ Tournament (2 games from Yale, Princeton, Merrimack) the Connecticut Holiday Tournament (2 games from QU, SHU, Union) Brown, Colorado College, RPI, Quinnipiac, so we'll see. I'd like to keep UConn's olderst opponent on the schedule. And the possibility of a win would be nice, too.

                  I don't know about that since there's really not much benefit. Their PWR ranking really isn't going to move much from where it is today this season. In fact it'll probably go down since they'll have a full HE schedule. Winning games against them won't really increase an AHA PWR significantly, if at all. From a performance or even psychological standpoint I'd rather give up a hard fought game against BC or UM than beat Uconn.

                      I was not thinking PWR as much as perhaps a few more OOC wins for AHA teams, until UConn picks up their pace in Hockey East.

                        We got a tough road for OOC wins
                        Dartmouth
                        U Mass Amherst
                        Union
                        Clarkson
                        and our last two games.

                          Union, tough?

                          But, you beat UMass last year, right?

                              they outshot us pretty bad. I got a good feeling about the guys coming back, but I'm also hearing we are losing some players either early or just leaving. And you never know how well the new recruits are going to be.

                              I understand the push to have good students, but heck, if Union can combine the two, why can't AIC? We need to get to the point where we are getting players to commit earlier on, and not relying on the assistant coaches to pick out the diamonds in the rough.
