Re: UNH 2018 Offseason- Out with the old , in with the semi new?
1967 Watched my first UNH Men’s Hockey game.
1968-2008 Season ticket holder. (2 tickets) and gave up tickets when
head coach changed his mind about retiring in 2008.
1999 Joined Fan Forum.
2009- present - see games occasionally.
Most old-time ticket holders and posters have read my comments over the years so I will not bother you with my fan experiences concerning UNH men’s & Women’s hockey. However, viewing recent postings mentioning that UNH Hockey, and that wonderful environment, “is never coming back” ….. I would like to comment:
I would imagine that the “never coming back” idea is disturbing to many fans and painful because it is true. It was a special time, place, and environment probably impossible to reconstruct. However, the memories do exist and we are allowed to relive and appreciate that past. We can revisit and visualize wonderful as well as painful memories, and we should not discount the importance of that phenomena.
The creation of memories is a joy as well as a burden that all of us carry. At times we can sense that responsibility when we look into a mirror. Hopefully the current coaches, players, and fans understand the opportunity before them as “memory makers”.
As I approach my 8th decade the responsibility and opportunity to be a memory maker becomes increasingly clear on Father’s Day ..... to all on the UNH thread - be well as the wheel turns ..........
