Anyway, interesting that the affiliate agreement is termed for 5 years. Wondering if the MAC will eventually give Sac State the same deal they gave us in 2014 (go all-in or leave), or maybe they'll just look to extract more revenue out of them.

Carvel said in postgame they should be healthy after the bye week, so that’s good.

As to Bazin- I wouldn’t fire him if I were UML. I think he’s a really good coach and he’s done great things there.

Carvel has been saying similar things about recruiting out of state vs in state kids for almost his entire duration at UMass. I don’t think anyone should take that as a shot at any one person in particular, as opposed to the current reality of recruiting for NCAA college hockey.

Have gone from 43 to 21 in the NPI during the win streak


Especially considering how for a while it would looked like hockey east was a 1 bid league, this is amazing. It’s not just UMass moving up during conference play as there are currently 3 hockey east teams in at large spots whereas for ...

Going out tomorrow I think. Didn’t get a parking pass this year and haven’t been out yet. If I park at either the lots by McGuirk or the lots up north of campus by the engineering department I should be good and it will be free, right?

Awesome news! I might consider upping my script U and giving some to football

Always big to beat BU. Hopefully this is the start of a run.

Edit- as of right now, UMass would be on the road at Nottheastern in the hockey east tournament which doesn’t have a home rink. I wonder where that game would be played if they end up hosting…

The game last night reminded me of when they came to a Gillette.

Lost 1-0 yesterday to BU. Had some good scoring chances but couldn’t capitalize.

I’m encouraged by the performance though. One thing to work on is faceoffs. Seems like every game UMass is dominated in the faceoff circle. Another chance tonight at Agganis.

Isn’t there already an FCS game next season (Sacred Heart?). This is pretty disappointing scheduling news if this is it.

^I’d be very surprised if he transferred to a different NCAA school. It’s been a long time since UMass has lost anyone to th the transfer portal that they actually wanted. I’ve heard conflicting reports on whether Oliver Chau was offered a fifth year here. A collegian writer said he was and turned ...

Seat has to be warming up. If there isn’t massive improvement the first month or so of the 2026 season, I’d fire him.


This post is my attempt to be positive after witnessing the last 14 seasons under FBS.

Since I revived this threat and said the seat should be warming up, I’ve been paying ...

My assumption for this year is it will be divided by either 11, 12 or 13. Does UMass get a full share year 1? I don’t think they did in 2012 when NIU went to the Orange Bowl but I could be misremembering. Speaking of which, does NIU get a full share on the way out?

Regardless in the future I’d ...

Having been an adjunct at a community college for many years… I WISH.

I hate to see the group of 5, get left out. Have a 4 team play in like basketball.

JMU plays BYU
Tulane plays Notre Dame

The powers that control the sport get their way, and the group of 5 still get a shot

Why punish JMU and Tulane and force them to play a play in game? The rules were posted ...
