          Just saw this (as mentioned in previous post) There are going to be a BOAT LOAD of changes. I taken aback in a way. I think I would expect a lot of current players to be looking for different schools to play at. Nine new players, and probably more.

            UAH was coming from a different place (nearly losing your program will kill your recruiting), but Mike Corbett cleaned house. So did Damon Whitten at LSSU. Best of luck at AIC!

              Two more recruits for '16-'17 listed on 5/17, bringing the total to 11 new players. It's definitely not going to be the same old AIC on the ice come October. I hope these aren't just superficial changes, but a sign of things to come. The entire league benefits as any of their programs ups their level of commitment and support. Good luck next year, except when you play the Tigers.

                  Actually our graduate assistant was hired full time. Mike Towns. From Adrian College. From my perspective, he's done quite the good job as a coach.

                    Totally agree here. An improving AIC will help the league a lot. With all due respect to Coach Wright, a change may have been needed to jump start the level of commitment. If I am not mistaken, didn't AIC have a good run when Coach Wright had to take a leave for a few weeks?

                      Re: AIC, 2016 and beyond.

                      Will be very interesting to follow AIC next season and chart their progress through the rankings, with hockey being very tight conference wide on most nights I sense a substantial positive move in the program. It is still early however a new coach and eleven new recruits there is a new energy and message being sent.

                      With regards to 11 new recruits which some will mention is quite a bit for a program in a given year, Mercyhurst brought in 12 freshmen in 2015 / 2016 class and surprisingly managed to finish 4th overall. Will be interesting to see how AIC finishes, mid pack is certainly possible and speaks well for when the bulk of these freshmen of AIC reach their senior year of eligibility when they can reach their pinnacle experience wise.

                          Training camp is going to be hyper competitive this coming season for AIC, reading through the previous posts recruits now number 12 with a further few months before a practice puck is dropped. The totals right now are 2 goaltenders, 3 defensemen & 7 forwards for a total of 12 new recruits.

                              In reading the article there is mention that "Added Scholarships" to the program, I take it that AIC did not make use of all their scholarship allotment in the past?

                              Can someone comment on that, and additionally are their other teams in Atlantic Hockey that are not utilizing their scholarship allotments?

                                Army and Air Force don't use any obviously. RIT isn't allowed to offer any either since they're a DIII school which wasn't grandfathered with most of the others (Clarkson, RPI, etc.). Other than that, I'm not sure. You're right though. If AIC wasn't using all of theirs, than it wouldn't surprise me if others weren't as well.
