Glad this didn't get lost in the madness today :-)

That will good exposure for him and the program and hopefully get him some time in competitive situations. He's stuck behind a hot goalie in Amherst, but I wonder if he'll get a shot this weekend. Maybe him on Friday and Murray Saturday at home?

His lack of playing time right now has been on the back of my mind lately. I know there’s been instances of players leaving after the semester. I hope he doesn’t. I think he’s a really good goalie and I think UMass is gonna need him to play key minutes this season and in the future.

That being said with three games in five days, you gotta figure he gets at least one game.
