Love how down to earth Carvy is. Not sure many coaches would be comfortable doing that kind of interview.

He's a treasure and I hope Ryan can find a boatload of $$$ for Carvel and his two assistants.

“I feel for NHL coaches,” Carvel said this past week. “They get paid well because the instability is really hard to live through.

“I feel really fortunate to be where I am. I loved my time in the NHL, but I knew always that this is where I wanted to be, at this level, because I knew what type of coach I am. What I want to do and accomplish with players can’t be done at the NHL level.”

This guy is a total rarity.

Sure is. I do wonder if Quinn is regretting bolting BU for the Rangers.

Coach Quinn I'm told likes being with the NYR; backing of Gorton and Davidson, young roster to work with. He has not had to compromise his principles around accountability.

Carvel wins USCHO coach of the year. Also won CHN coach of the year and was a finalist for Penrose (NCAA’s official coach of year), but yet he wasn’t even nominated for Hockey East Coach of the year. A more talented writer than I should do an Ice Is Life style disrespect piece.

Putting this here since I'm not sure it needs its own thread:

UMass Assistant Coach Ben Barr has been hired as Maine's next coach, replacing the late Red Gendron.

Good example of how turbulent things can be in the NHL. All 3 are gone now with Quinn getting axed this morning.

Also happy for Barr getting the Maine job even though it's a big loss for us. Seemed like they were just going to promote one of their own assistants to take over for Red.

We knew it was coming, just a matter of time. Best wishes to Ben. He did a lot for our program. Saw a few comments about trying to get James Marcou who is an assistant at Harvard.

Oops.

Said Carvel, "Ben Barr has made an indelible mark on the UMass Hockey program and will forever be a National Champion. Ben has been highly instrumental in helping put together multiple championship teams at the Division One level and I am excited to see him get the opportunity to serve as a head coach. Ben has found success due to his work ethic and knowledge of the game but what sets him apart, in my eyes, is that he is a high quality individual and I will miss working with him on a daily basis. We wish him luck and thank him for everything he has given to UMass Hockey over the past five years."
"Jack didn’t have any envy in him," Calipari said. "He was the greatest coach to ever coach here."

Glad to see that Marcou came back to earn his degree in 2015.

Carvel has been extended in what looks to be essentially a lifetime contract.

Release can be found via that twitter link or at the Athletics website.


Obviously fantastic news!
