    Re: UW-Stevens Point 2011-12

    I think people are sleeping on the Pointers this year. They lost only one major player in Suter and he hurt them as much as helped them at times. They have as good of a goalie as anyone in the conference in Graves. They also have the potential to have three lines that can score. The defense is a little iffy right now, but it could work itself out.

    The coaching change could be huge for them as well. They have played so undisciplined in the last few years it was embarrassing. If Coach Brooks can keep them in line, this team will be dangerous.

    I was there for 27/92.

      We all will learn a lot about the 2011-12 Pointers, after their first three games are in the books (opener on the road vs Marian and a two game series with SNC).
      SNC Men:
      Five Time National Champions: 2008, 2011, 2012, 2014. 2018....
      NCHA Champions: 1997, 1998, 1999, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2017. 2018, 2019...
      SNC Women:

        I agree. I think Brooks has also put together a pretty solid recruiting class on short notice. Kolb was once committed to MI Tech and Gibson has some solid back USHL experience. I think they will be better than most expect.

          When will SP and the other NCHA teams produce their rosters, I saw Norberts was up via the board? Is the official start Sunday or Monday?

          I too will be watching Coach Brooks style of play. I assume he will run a more pro style game and be big time on conditioning prep.

                If you look closely you will see that there were 6 guys who could have been on the roster from last year who are not. Looks like the new coach is cleaning things up.

                  New coach had nothing to do with the guys not coming back, 5 of the 6 were planning on laeving before Brooks was even selected.

                    If you check the players that aren't back, they were not major contributors to the team and should not be considered major losses in anyway.

                      Just wondering if practice does not start until Oct. 15 (tomorrow) how can they post their roster if they allow true tryouts.

                        I don't think College Hockey has 'tryouts'.

                          I agree with you that what they lost won't hurt too bad, I was just saying that they left on thier own, and not because of Brooks cleaning house. Didn't see Bain listed on the roster but he is listed on the commitment list.
