Yes shout out to whoever is running the hockey socials now! I’m curious who’s taking it over this season.

One of the assistants, most likely.

If anyone cares they’ve updated the roster and added roster pictures

I find it funny that Hampus seemed to have lost an inch😂

While we’ve had great discussion here, is it time to start a new thread, since we’re talking about the actual season now?

Apologies, I missed that request. My bad!

A couple things. First, the bulk of the roster is still the same ol’ Berge guys. It’s up to Noreen to coach ‘em up. Can he do it? We’ll see. I do like the odds here as he seems better at X’s and O’s. Second, we have some new portal guys. See point one. Third, we’re having a good offseason on the recruiting front. What does this mean? Who knows whether any of these guys a) will ever don a block M sweater or b) whether any of these guys are any good. But that doesn’t really matter. What’s important here is the staff is building out the infrastructure to compete over the long haul. Compare this with Bergeron who brought over his WCHA recruiting model from BUGS. He recruited a year or two out and seemed to have a philosophical problem with stockpiling players. Why do that? Well, if some hot shot kid commits to Michigan at 17, he ain’t committing to Boston College when he’s 19.

None of this means we should expect home ice for the playoffs this season so temper those expectations. We may still finish last but I like double digit wins. And the staff is doing the things they should be doing to compete. That’s all we can ask for in season 1. I’m encouraged.

Oops! Back to lurking.

I summoned you and was beginning to think you fell down a well. Tell me you were at least somewhere exotic like Branson or at the state fair and stuck in a marathon of 3rd shows from 2nd rate bands gorging yourself on funnel cake. Lie to me if you must.

Last year we had 0 players wear the fish bowl, in this picture you can see at least 6. I don’t know if the stats exist for this but a friend pointed out to me that the successful teams usually have a couple players not in the cages…a good sign for the season? :joy:

Fish bowl? I don’t get it.

A look at the newest RedHawks (plus Donato and Silver), starting with the transfers.
