Re: UNH Wildcats 2016-17 Vol II -- We Do Have a Hockey Season Here!?!
Being a relative newbie to UNH Hockey (and hockey in general but boy have I learned alot....) I totally understand where you are coming from. I also get the frustration of the veteran fans on this board; and even in my short tenure I do know the difference/understand the past of UNH hockey success and failures. After Merrimack last season I drove home thinking how tough it is to be a fan while at the same time, how worth it is can be too. While that loss was horrendous for me, I knew I would return. In it too deep now to back out! I also believe things go in cycles; I truly do, that UNH hockey IS going to return. You know me and that hope thing...
I do enjoy the chatter about the current team, players, etc. more of course as it's my point of reference but the past was indeed glorious and worth discussing. But things have changed for UNH hockey, and for college hockey as a whole. Players have a TON of options they did not have before; playing for UNH today as a choice for top, cream of the crop players isn't what it was 20 years ago; parity in programs, more options, all figure into where a player is going to land.
That being said, seems like Souza and Co. are pulling in a few recruits that have alot of potential. That's exciting even tho we won't see it for awhile. So right now is where we are at. Alot can happen in the second half of the season. Here's to you all; past and present fans; keep the flame alive for UNH hockey! Enjoy the spirit of the season and hope to see you at the SNHU game...and beyond.
