College Hockey NCAA 2022- ‘23 Season

[Fenway]

BU took some bad penalties late in the second and Minnesota took advantage.

Excellent venue and a great game atmosphere.

Connecticut, home of the 2023 NCAA champions in basketball and hockey!

For what it's worth, had a great time in Tampa despite B.U.'s loss to the Gophers. What an ending on Saturday, of course. Folks brought up the Bruins a lot, and, being in Tampa and hanging out at Hattricks bar(walls full of TBL jerseys), I would bring up the 2019 Lightning. It's the hockey playoffs, after all, I'm a worrywart.

Utica isn't far behind
Still have a few D2 Schools trying to figure out what comes next for them
And we have the 3 mysterious Schools that just completed their feasibility study
My guess, Navy,Tennessee and Arizona

@Saxon Eric Do you know what happens to players who enter the portal but don't get a transfer? I assume they can't/don't go back to the school they want to leave. Am I totally off base in thinking "that's it, it's over" for these kids?

Not necessarily, in some cases the Coach will be open to the player returning, it's usually agreed to prior to entering the portal, could be the kid seeking more playing time elsewhere and the coach wanting him to stay and see it through, once the portal options dry up he's back
In other cases they drop down to D3 or change schools and play club
For some it's the end of the road

Much obliged! There are still a TON of kids in the portal, and I was worried they'd all made horrible decisions.

The 5th year is the cause in probably 50% of portal entries

Fair point, and I hadn't checked what percentage still in the portal are seniors looking for a fifth year, but upon review, it looks like that's also about 50% of who's left.

UMass lost more transfers than I would have expected. Reading Carvel's post season comments, seems like maybe more of the underclassmen are mutual partings...

UMass hockey ‘slipped’ this season but will adjust

CHESTNUT HILL – The maroon helmets never changed. Massachusetts still spread across their chests in maroon or white. But it still didn’t look like the same UMass hockey team this season. At least, UMass hockey as constructed over the past four...
