^ With only a few seniors going and it appears more expected coming, some roster slots had to open up.
He worked hard, but injuries and depth made it difficult to really make a consistent impact.

Just glanced at the Transfer Info on Gopher Puck and noticed that BC has the highest +/- of the players listed ……+2 !!! Only two (2) player have a Positive +/- !!

That’s excellent news! I’ve been hoping for this every assistant coaching opening UMass has had since 2021. Figured he didn’t want to come back and gave it up as a possibility. Glad it worked out and he’s back!

Word is Evan Moorhouse leaving Brown to join Greg Carvel's staff at UMass, where he'll coach the goalies

He's been at Brown since 2020 as director of hockey ops and goalie coach

Evan was video coach and director of hockey ops for U.S. team at Spengler Cup last winter
His dad is UMass Hockey broadcaster Donnie Moorhouse.

Don’t know if “leaving” is the most accurate description. With T Upton leaving UM to become Brown HC, hiring new assistant coaches is part of the normal process.
Evan is not listed on the current Brown Hockey site as an assistant coach.

Quite possibly Papa Nestrasil had a hand in this. If you want a fun follow on X:

I know Upton left but I haven’t heard anyone else has. Is someone else gone too? Steve Mastalerz? He was the goalie coach last season…
