Re: Union College: 2015-2016

Any word on our non-conference schedule for next year?

There are some slots filled out on the schedules thread. Still a few gaps, though.

Re: Union College: 2015-2016

At this point:

Home: BU, Michigan, Maine (2)
Away: Dartmouth Holiday Tourney (Merrimack & RMU), Merrimack

That's 7 games. Would expect a western trip, a couple AHAs and "you-know-who at the TU"

Not so long ago I was saying that all kind of apocalyptic things would have to happen for BU or Michigan to come to Schenectady.. pretty incredible. A very nice home schedule.

Well, slightly apocalyptic... the Michigan game is part of a two-for-one; you'll be going to Yost for a pair the year after.

I did hear about a UNH game, too.

I hope we drop Connecticut. We have done horrible against them over the past 4 years. Hope we get another opportunity to play in Boston at Againis or NE or BC.

6'5" & 209lbs
Will he be the biggest goalie we have ever had?

I'm not sure on weight but I believe Mark Wise was also 6'5".

Yes, perhaps much to the chagrin of opposing goalies.

I very much like this line-up. Rebuilding year but real posibility of developing 4-lines again.

I'd say that's a pretty good prognostication.. I'm hoping that Pontarelli can work his way up to top 6 and could probably sprinkle B. Taylor, Dufour, & Vidmar over the the bottom 2 lines. Also think that Henry dug himself a hole at the end of last season and would not be surprised to see Campbell given an early chance. Would expect Hynes & DiPauli to see plenty of ice on the energy line. This is a strong frosh class for forwards and could potentially have 3 lines of dangerous scoring if even 2 of them significantly contribute points, which would be a big upgrade from last season. The defense is just going to continue to need time to gel, but hopefully learned some lessons last season. My big concern is in goal. Hoping that Alex is working hard and can bring a little more athleticism & endurance next season. Kupsky had a very good post-season in the NAHL (>93% save), so maybe he is an option - certainly has the size. Not expecting much better than last year, but should be interesting.
