The Ivies are cancelling football for 2020!

Today's Hampshire Gazette: UMass puts 24 on the Hockey East All-Academic Team!

Lucas Mercuri, "Big, strong and with a brain"! Sounds like a great recruit for our team. Not sure if he's coming for the 20-21 or the 21-22 season. But, what the hell.

He has confirmed his commitment to join the NCAA Division I University of Massachusetts Minutemen in Amherst, MASS beginning with the 2021-22 season.

Not surprised that John Leonard signed. He will be missed in more ways than one. I kinda wonder where the goals are going to come from nest year. John was our best scorer. Any ideas?

^ True.

Rick "Baby" is BACK! I bet he can still coach!

I still can remember him missing a free throw which cost us a "W" vs. Providence at the Springfield Civic Center. Long time ago.

It was a very good season for UMass. Despite injuries, the loss of our two best defense men to the NH, the team finished 2nd in the Hockey East behind BC.

I thought it was a good season. The freshmen came of age down the stretch. Tre Mitchell became one of the best players in the league. If Weeks didn't get hurt, if Carl Pierre could have found his shot, etc., what then?

Rashaun Freeman vs. Tre.

i saw Rashaun Freeman play many times. He remains one of my favorite players. But, Tre has a more versatile game. he has more moves around the basket plus can step out and hit a jumper.

I'd take them both!

Do they have a big coming in who can play? If not, what happens next year if Tre Mitchel gets hurt?

I thought Dayton's defense carried the day for them. I disagree with McCall's assessment that good "looks" were there, but we didn't make the shots. Maybe do more (in the offense) to free up our catch and shooters (i.e. Carl Pierre)? Tre Mitchell appears to be our only player who can consistently cr...

Was a great game against a very good team. Tre Mitchel Mitchel is the real deal. More than held his own against Obi Tobin who will probably be in the NBA next year.

I just hope he stays at UMass!
