3 years, 1.85M AAV, apparently.

Not bad for a journey of less than thirty miles.

Can't wait to hear how he's "still growing into his frame."

And now, Jonah
Didn't fool with no itty-bitty fish
He picked him out a whale
And Daniel
Bless his heart, he chose the den
'Stead of the cozy jail
Don't ever conclude you're whipped for sure
Try some more
Tie the score
So what if the odds are lookin' long?
The fight is yours if you sing this song
The bigger they are (the bigger)
The harder they fall (harder)
The tougher they talk (tougher)
The quicker they crawl

Quote from: ugarte on June 26, 2026, 01:17:02 PMI can't believe I didn't know that Ryan Hughes' son was on the incoming roster. I saw Ryan score four goals in a 5-4 loss to BC at Lynah.

"Hughes your Daddy!" clap-clap-clap-clap-clap

As a freshman in 1992, the first semester after he left, several Lynah vets told me how much they missed screaming "HUUUUUUUUUUUUGHES" when he got the puck at key moments.

Similarly, if you want your athletic kids to be popular with fans, name them something with an "oooo" sound: Lou, Mookie, Raoul, Boo-urns, etc

Pretty sure that Hughes played his senior year ('92-93), though he may have wished he hadn't. That was a rough time to be a fan and it can't have been easy to be on the ice, either.

what a sophomore year and then never quite had the same touch. got a cup of coffee in boston but then washed out (or bailed) fairly quickly. +/- not great in the IHL and i wonder if he wasn't enough help on defense to be worth the almost a point a game you got from him.

Watching the "HAD" line skate and score - Hughes, Andison, Derraugh - was among the few truly sublime experiences available to us during the stretch between ECAC titles prior to Schafer's return. But hey, Hughes's son is on the way, current women's coach Derraugh has three kids of his own; anybody want to try to get ahold of Trent Andison up in Ontario to ask what he can contribute? (Trent, btw, spent all of a single season playing after Cornell, in the now-kaput English League, while Doug had a really solid European career almost right up until arriving in his current job in 2005.)

Wrong link  Did you mean this one?

Cool.  Maybe I'll try to drag the fam down for that one, since Union for senior night doesn't sound that exciting.

Keep us posted; dss28 and I renewed and that's high on my list as well.

Quote from: Trotsky on June 19, 2026, 03:26:26 PMGoalie for the USMNT at the World Cup is a Harvard alumnus.

Go USA but, as you know, Harvard sucks.

spent 1 year there, don't know about alumnus. But pretty cool to say we got to see him playing in Ithaca

He got his degree.

Even so, alumnus merely means former student; without the degree, "graduate" would've been improper, but not alumnus. Hahvahd in particular may not love people without degrees holding themselves out as Hahvahd alumni, but they certainly don't mind Bill Gates's and Mark Zuckerberg's donated millions.

No long road trips.

Hope the brats are back for Fish & Fowl.

That link is missing some confirmed OOC games. If accurate, the first three weekends of 2027 are all on the road (starting with Omaha)

The information at the link was mostly to establish the league schedule, and is in addition to the OOC games we've learned about.

No, we don't.

This is the last time I'll explain it:

We do not have the power to do so. Age does. He has been notified of the problem. Stop blaming the mods.

Quote from: stereax on May 29, 2026, 09:07:29 PMokay the stanleyagoth spam is getting out of hand. remind me why mods can't ban obvious bots?

Because the admin has never given mods the power to ban, only to delete posts. I've notified Age that the problem is once again out of control and well beyond my capacity to address.

Quote from: stereax on May 26, 2026, 01:43:26 PMNow who are the As gonna be... I want to say Catalano gets one? And maybe they hit one of our transfer sophomore Dmen (Fisher or Ashton) with one? Rest of the senior class is Kraft, Devlin, Fegaras. Could also see Kraft getting one a la FFJOL.

I'd be cool with that!
Whoever they choose will be a great Assistant!

You can't go wrong!

Not Fegaras. 

Hey, it would be entertaining at least.

But on a realer note, we don't know the locker room dynamics. Could be he'd make a great A, Tkachuk-style.

It would be legal for him to argue with the ref on the way to the box.  That's a win.

As if players don't already do that.

Where's my curious Fegaras drawing...
