I spent 3 weeks in Alaska last year. What a beautiful state.
I assume UAA is Univ Alaska at Anchorage and UAF is Alaska at Fairbanks.
Been to UAF, super museum and great views from the hill

Why won't these games count as non-conference games?

The wording needed to be clarified is all. Saying they didn't count as non-conference games might make some think they didn't count towards W/L record, stats, etc. Like a game against a Canadian college or something.

I agree, I was vague. I meant it wouldn't count toward the amount of games we could schedule.

My understanding of this is as follows; the wins and/or losses count. However, the NCAA does not count games played in Alaska against your limit each season.
Correct me if I am wrong?

MK5188 made the comment on another thread that if Clarkson fails to make it to Atlantic City next year then Clarkson should let Roll go. IMHO that will be a stretch (making it to Atlantic City ;)).

Goal
Paul Karpowich Sr
Cody Rosen Jr
Richie LaVeau Sr
If Karpo comes back he will probably have to once again face 30+ shots every knight. The only game Rosen started (Air Force) he was great in but only did 2 other mop up appearances after we got far behind. LaVeau only got into 3 games after we were hopelessly behind. One of them needs to show he can spell Karpo for a game or two. Gabe Antoni I would guess would probably enter school early if Karpo decides to leave.

Forwards

Nick Tremblay Sr
Jake Morley Sr
Louke Oakley Sr
Julien Cayer Sr
Corey Tamblyn Sr
This class was supposed to be the one that rivaled or surpassed the Dodge, Zalewski, Weller and Cayer class. Well they have one year to step up and finally show the promise that they supposedly had. Very disappointing their first 3 years. Did show some signs of life (especially Tremblay and Tamblyn) this past year. Oakley has had to bounce from forward to defense and I commend him for that. I am afraid with our thin green defense he may be playing back there again. Cayer never started great, got injured and just has not ever recovered and produced any where near the expectations. Morley is probably the least talented but I like his desire and grit on the ice. You need the grit out there and he is the man. He would deserve the "C" IMHO.
Adam Pawlick Jr
Pete Massar Jr
Matt Wilson Jr
Never understood what happened to Pawlick last year. Had a good freshman campaign and now as a soph "WHAT HAPPENED" ??? Massar has been injured and Wilson has not produced.
Ben Sexton So
Allan McPherson So
Matt Zarbo So
Will Frederick So
Jarrett Burton So
Mike Garlasco So
This past years freshman class I am pleased with. Could a would a should a if only Sexton had not broken his arm and missed most of the season he probably would have been the teams leading scorer and I think we might have won a couple of more games. McPherson was as good if not better than any forward knight in and knight out. Not sure what happened to Zarbo. Started out great, Sexton breaks his arm and all of a sudden Zarbo disappears from the scoring. Frederick played tough knight in and knight out. I like him. Burton was adequate and Garlasco, the games he got to play in, IMHO, he brought a lot of energy on to the ice with his play.
Patrick Marsh Fr
David Ferriera Fr
Mitch Zion Fr
Joe Zarbo Fr
These are the 4 freshmen forwards coming in so far. Marsh and Zion looking at the stats are the 2 scorers. We can only hope.

Defense

Nik Pokulok Jr
Andrew Himelson Jr
David Pratt So
Alex Boak So
JD Carrabino Fr
Luke Juha Fr
Kevin Struempfler Fr
This is the position that scares me the most. Awfully thin and awfully young. We are really gonna miss Boro. The 4 lettermen if they can stay healty are all adequate. Juha is the guy that is supposed to be the real deal. Not really a big kid we will see. Like I said Karpo better be ready to face a lot of rubber again in 2011-2012

Can this lineup get to Atlantic City. I have my doubts. They will be competetive with any team in the ECAC but do Union, Yale, Dartmouth, Cornell, Princeton or RPI (the six teams ahead of Clarkson in the ECAC in 2010-2011) lose enough for Clarkson to overtake any of them next year???? And are Hahvad, Colgate or SLU gonna be as bad as they were in 2010-2011 regular season???? This is really where hard work is gonna have to overcome talent. LGT

Drew

I like the analysis, Vicb. Lets hope the seniors put it all together for a blowout year. I think the younger Zarbo has some offensive pop, too, he put up 33 goals and 29 assists in 50 games. We need someone in this lineup to be a 20 goal guy. McPherson seemed to get better with every game, maybe he will be that guy. LGT.

We are still in Florida, dealing with tornadoes and very high hurricane-like winds this week. I prefer to shovel snow and be in the North Country!

Anyway, the Golden Knights end-of-the-year banquet was held last knight. Imagine this....we already know our leaders for next season, as they were announced last knight.

CAPTAIN....JAKE MORLEY

ASSISTANT CAPTAINS...... NICK TREMBLAY AND BEN SEXTON

In the past, these titles have been chosen by the team and approved by the coaches, but I don't know how the decisons were made this year. Whatever way it happened, I find the choices great ones. Other than being able to speculate for weeks who the leaders will be, I think it is nice to know early who our leaders will be.

CONGRATULATIONS...JAKE, NICK, AND BEN!

Cap
04-05-2011, 10:27 AM
Being a captain is about personality and leadership. I was around that team several days a week all season and Sexton showed plenty of captain-like traits whether he was playing or rehabbing

And all this is sidetracking the main point: getting a letter that soon does not happen because you may leave early. (who knows? Sexton could go early, have heard nothing to suggest one way or the other) but that's not why a person is chosen by their peers and coaches for a leadership role.

I haven't heard specifics on individuals..I just know that they were still working on recruits.
And as for goalies..remember Rosen has a pretty bad injury so it is not known for sure if he'll play next year. Hip injuries can be career threatening in that position.

This from USCHO story about who will ref tonight's final: ECAC officials Chip McDonald and Peter Feola refereed the semifinal contest between Notre Dame and Minnesota-Duluth, while Shea and Hansen (Hockey East refs) followed suit for North Dakota-Michigan.

So McDonald and Feola are the ECAC's top refs. Discuss among yourselves ...

UMinn-Duluth, as we know, beat Clarkson twice in January, and beat Union and Yale in the east regional. The other finalist, Michigan, didn't play any ECAC teams this year.

Dave Techer,

I read with interest your link to Will Frederick from a PA newspaper. How thrilling it must have been for you to see this article....thanks for sharing it with us.

Looking at Will's statistics for penalties, in his 32 games played this year, he was accessed only five two-minute penalties, which I think was excellent. In view of the fact that Clarkson always seemed to have way too penalties, which sometimes cost them dearly, perhaps it would be advisable for the whole team to have services of a psychologist to redirect their annoyance with opponents and thereby reduce the penalties.

Knowing Will, we just assumed it was intelligence, talent, and maturity that provided his calm attitude on the ice. If there is psychological help available to deal with anger, then I have even more respect for Will's decision to take advantage of it. He was one of those fabulous freshmen whose contributions certainly did not go unrecognized throughout the season.

Let's hope that next year's incoming freshmen will do as well as the this year's freshmen did.

HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL!

This article was posted on the RPI recruit thread on USCHO http://www.insidehalton.com/sports/article/994004--hockey-school-a-balancing-act-says-cougars-blueliner-luzar. It discusses a couple of Clarkson recruits. Specifically, it mentions that Patrick Marsh's father played for RPI. The father must have been defenseman Rick Marsh (RPI '77). That's two RPI legacies that either we haven't been interested in or we lost the last two years. Josh Jooris, Mark's (RPI '86) son, just completed his first year at Union.

Don't complain Ralph, it looks like Appert is checking every rink near and wide and getting quality recruits from all over. Marsh said he had two other school visits planned and cancelled, I like to think one was RPI. :p:):lgt:

It wouldn't surprise me if RPI was one of the schools, and I agree that SA is getting a lot of quality recruits. I also like it that SA apparently beat out CCT for Mike Zalewski who may be showing up next fall instead of in 2012. Chris Heisenberg lists him as a 2012 recruit, but he already appears in the online RPI directory.

This was alluded to by Chris Lerch (RIT & USCHO Editor) on Thursday's Frozen Four blog.

Chris mentioned that he heard @ the rink (LL Commish IIRC) that there are exploratory talks about forming a Liberty Hockey League.

The teams would be current (and soon to be) Liberty League teams, CCT, SLU, RPI, UC, and RIT. To make the 6th team to get the AQ, add Colgate.

Anyone who's ear is close to the ground hear anything more substantial??

If Union becomes a university, do we call it UU?

Yeah, so the conference that Clarkson is in can be thought of as even more of a joke than the ECAC currently is. Looking back at the past 10 years, we see that of RIT plus the ECAC teams making the tournament is:

RIT: 2010
Clarkson: 2008 2007
SLU: 2007
Colgate: 2005
RPI: 2011
Union: 2011

Yale: 2011 2010 2009
Dartmouth: NONE
Harvard: 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002
Princeton: 2009 2008
Quinnipiac: 2002
Cornell: 2010 2009 2006 2005 2003 2002
Brown: NONE

and overall record 11-24 (3-7 for the proposed conference)

so it might be great to start a new conference to try to get the AQ to make the tournament easier, but the schools in this conference will be seen as a bigger joke than ever, on a CHA kind of level. But hell, it may help recruiting, knowing that they have a 1 in 6 chance of making the tournament each year :p :lgt:

It's not going to be the ECAC presidents, it's going to be the Liberty League presidents, some of which are presidents of schools that are part of the ECAC.

The voting power in the NCAA are multi-sport conferences. The Liberty League is a multi sport conference and the ECAC is not. In fact the only current hockey conference that currently can vote in D-I is the Ivy Group, and we all know that they are, well, a bit different than the rest of D-I.

In 2 - 3 years the Big 10 will put its large footprint into the D-I hockey market, and since they are a multi-sport conference and play BCS football, guess who is going to have the most influence? IF the LL can get a seat at the D-I hockey table, then they and the Ivies can try to offset the power of the Big 10. Think spears against tanks.

RSTuthill
04-19-2011, 12:25 PM
So ... this would mean that Quinnipiac would go to Hockey East? Because I do not see them joining the Ivy League and since they are D-1 in all sports they are not likely to join the Liberty League even if it is only for hockey. But anything is possible I suppose. Maybe both QU and Colgate join in that manner.

If there is any real discussion going on regarding a Liberty League for hockey, it may be not in place of the ECAHL, but as a second league membership. This would be similar to the Ivy League - go to the Ivy League web site and you will find Ivy League hockey standings, an Ivy League champion, and an all-Ivy team.

One LIberty League member (not for hockey), Univiersity of Rochester, plays in the LIberty League, but also belongs to the UAA, University Athletic Associaition. UAA is a group of Division 3 schools with high academics from across the coutnry - U of Chicago, Johns Hopkins, NYU, Emory, and a few others.

Why not have the Liberty Legue do in ice hockey what the Ivy League does? With only four D1 programs in th league, and a couple of D3s, might be hard to do, but this may be what folks had in mind.

You won't see an official schedule from the school until the end of the summer. However, some people here get bits and pieces from other schools and piec together some kind of OOC schedule. We will play SLU as well and I hear Maine is on for two however can't confirm.Here is what I know:

10/7 Alaska-Anchorage

12/29 Umass/Maine/Cornell Estero, Fl

BTW

The baseball team is in the NCAA D-III New York Regional. They lost game #1 in extras, but won today in the loser's bracket to stay alive.

However --- from the NCAA write up on the regional...

• Clarkson is just 19-17 this season but is in the NCAA tournament for the second time in school history, its last trip coming in 2009.

The Golden Eagles are the champions of the Liberty League and have the player of the year in the conference in David Kinney. He is hitting .401 with 35 RBI. Kinney has crushed six home runs and has come through with 18 doubles. Kinney is also 2-0 and has three saves as well in 11 1/3 innings of relief work. He has struck out 14 and has a 1.59 ERA.

WTF!?!?!?!?

You won't see an official schedule from the school until the end of the summer. However, some people here get bits and pieces from other schools and piec together some kind of OOC schedule. We will play SLU as well and I hear Maine is on for two however can't confirm.Here is what I know:

10/7 Alaska-Anchorage
10/8 Alaska

12/29 Umass/Maine/Cornell Estero, Fl
12/30 Maine/Umass/Cornell Estero, Fl
1/7 North Dakota - in Winnipeg

Any other additions? I believe we have 36 scheduled.

I see now that Winnipeg will likely inherit the Atlanta NHL franchise. I wonder if this will have any effect on our scheduled game there. North Dakota fans seem happy that Winnipeg is getting a team back. Apparently, although I haven't looked at a globe, Winnipeg is close to Grand Forks.

It was a way to blow off steam and to take a break for an hour or 2.

I realize a trip to LP is a 6 hr commitment, but if you don't know it by the Saturday before finals, you'll never know it. I was never a fan of cramming. A good night's sleep before an 8 AM final was more important to me than trying to find out that last minute factoid.

The schedule actually looks pretty challanging to me. Decent mix of OOC opponents, some quality some not so much but that's how it goes these days, 36 games plus one exhibition, two big trips, and not a single weekend off except for two weeks at the semester break/Christmas. Remember last year how we needed or could have used a weekend off now and then for the guys to heal up. Won't happen this year. All hands on deck every weekend for 5 months starting Oct 1.

One question re joe's "I doubt we'll be playing the NCHC or BTHC any time soon." Won't those smaller leagues need OOC games to fill up their schedules, and haven't they alienated the remaining WCHA and CCHA teams which might make scheduling against those teams difficult, so won't they be knocking at the ECAC and HE schools to schedule games 2+ years from now?

My thoughts --
AHA 7 - 0

Then the conference:

Can't argue that a 0.500 record would be a reasonable goal. Considering recent history that may be ambitious, but attainable.

Significantly above 0.500 would be a stretch goal for sure, but let's see what happens. We could be surprised.

dave techer
07-28-2011, 01:25 PM
Agree with RST on the .500 record as good goal to shoot for. Here are some more of mine:
1. No stupid off-ice incidents by players or recruits.
2. No embarrassing lop-sided losses, like recent 11-2 to Union (on national TV), 8-0 to Nebraska, and 6-1, 7-1, and 8-1 to insert name of any opponent.
3. Top 1/2 of the league in team power play and penalty kill stats.
4. Win a playoff series.
5. Really, reallly, really focus on recruiting (that one is already happening for sure).

that is not true. He can play two seasons. You don't lose a year of eligibility when you transfer. You sit out a year. Same thing with players in other sports who have done so. And UVM is Division I in everything, so it is not the same as D3 schools with rules they may have about redshirting, etc.
I went to the University of Arizona and we had two transfers in men's basketball while I was there: Brian Williams and Chris Mills. Both guys sat out the one required year and when they started playing for Arizona they were whatever year they would have been, had they never transfered. Both left after their freshmen year and were sophomores when they started playing for Arizona.
And, in case more than my own word is needed, from an NCAA official: NCAA players are given six years of eligibilty beginning the day they first start classes. (he is referring to a question about missing a year of sports due to either being redshirted or transfer sitting)

missed the 03-04 season
played at Vermont in 04-05 and 05-06

He was cut, so his transfer was different, but he still could not go 'right' to another school and play that 03-04 season, he played junior hockey

We were among the 1,369 people in attendance at Cheel Arena yesterday. Although there were not a lot of people there, Clarkson spirits were high for the exhibition game against Ottawa University. I was not impressed with Clarkson's efforts during Period 1. Ottawa was assessed three penalties during the first period; the Golden Knights did not score on any of them. Then with only a couple of minutes remaining, Otttawa scored the only goal of the period. However, The Golden Knights began Period 2 with a different attitude. Sophomore Mike Garlasco scored Clarkson's first goal with the assist given to Nick Tremblay. Less than a minute later, freshman Joe Zarbo broke over the blue line alone and fired the puck into the Ottawa goal....what a delightful way to display talent in his first game as a Golden Knight! Period 2 ended with a 2~2 tie. Early into the third period, sophomore Alex Boak connected with the game-winning-goal; assists were given to Julien Cayer and Joe Zarbo. Clarkson's fourth and final goal was scored by Matt Zarbo with the assist given to James Hawden.

The game was a confidence-builder for the Golden Knights. Clarkson was assessed only three penalties throughout the entire game. Let's hope that taking nonsensical, foolish penalties are a thing of the past for this year's team. Coach Jones is big on the team being disciplined, and the evidence of Clarkson's play yesterday seemed to follow those guidelines. Seriousness of purpose seems to take on new relevance, and I think the team is beginning on the right track. I am optimistic about this year's chances. The coaches' poll ranked us eleventh out of twelve ECAC teams; I have serious doubts about the validity of that poll.

Paul is definitely a strong role model for the team.....a terrific, classy young man both on and off the ice. Paul's outstanding play in the nets, provides his teammates with opportunities to win most games.

Gabe Antoni is very highly regarded and I anticipate will split time with Rosen to start next year, then gradually win the starting job as a freshman. We'll see though - I'm worried, but not THAT worried.

Happy holidays to everyone in Golden Knight land. It's certainly a boring time without any games though.

Gabe Antoni is playing a backup role to Matt Morris, Maine commit. Morris got hurt early and Antoni got the lionshare of the play to date.

The Clarkson staff at the time (Roll, Drechsel, Houle) put a lot of time and effort in to selecting Karpowich from a group of goalies they were looking at. Karpowich was a 19 year-old playing in a competitive junior league when he committed. Antoni was playing prep school when he signed on with Clarkson. The Golden Knights might be looking for an older junior goalie to join Rosen and Antoni?

I thought they were considering Clarke Saunders of UAH, but he signed with North Dakota. I wouldn't be suprised to see a goalie added.

They will need another goalie for sure, I guess who they bring in will depend on how much scholarship money they have left at the goaltending position. Saunders might have been a good fit coming in as a junior and not requiring a four-year scholarship. He also lives pretty close to Clarkson and and has played with/against guys on the team.

The forecast for Estero, FL for the next several days is sunny, a few clouds here and there, with temps in the low to mid 70s. I hope none of the boys defect while down there!

Humm ... I guess my concern re how this year's backup goaltenders might perform next year (see above) is pretty well founded.

Forget next year, we are going to find out tonight....Karpo is sick and didn't make the trip. Rosen gets the nod.

Well, what can we expect. Karpowich has played every game so far this year, and the last time that LaVeau and Rosen played were February 12 (vs. Yale) and January 8 (at Union), both in relief; heck, we have to go back to Thanksgiving last year to find a start by someone other than Karpo (Rosen). Without either seeing in game action for that long, it doesn't suprise me that they seemed rather rusty today. I think there will be a better result tomorrow

Ugh. That was brutal to watch. Live from Estero.

THE GOOD
At least Clarkson was not shutout.
Oakley with the goal.

THE NOT SO GOOD
We were outplayed from the drop of the puck in the game.
Penalty kill was atrocious.
Powerless play stunk once again.
Let in a shortie.
Took some really stupid penalties and just played too chippy a game. Were more interested in throwing elbows than trying to score.
Rosen:
Goal #1 a tip in in front on a wrist shot from the right faceoff circle. May have gone in off a CCT defenseman. Could not tell from my vantage point. Rosen was at the right post down and the puck went in off the left post.
Goal #2 our defense lets one of their defensemen walk in from the right point and he picks the top right corner of the net on a wrister when Rosen goes down. No one even tries to block the shot.
Goal #3 a repeat of goal #2.
Goal #4 a wrist shot that cleanly beats Rosen on his stick/blocker side. I say he should have made the save. Just as I was remarking that Rosen needs to be pulled to my buddy he was so incomes Leveau.
Leveau:
Goal #5 we are on the PP and let Maine breakout in a 3 on 2. First save is made but Leveau falls flat on his arse and Maine player comes in and puts in the rebound.
Goal #6 Our forward does not check the stick of a Maine player right in front and the guy tips a shot in over Leveau's shoulder.
Not sure even Karpo could have saved us toknight. We played with no passion and quiet frankly of the 21 shots we had on net I could have probably saved 18 or 19. Some of our best scoring opportunities we ended up shooting wide.
Now 1-4 in this tournament.
Did not stay for game 2 but I see Cornell gets waisted by UMass 5-2. So the ECAC gets to play the consolation while HE gets to play the championship.. GRRRRRRR :(

Was good to see Goldie and her family and I met up with my Clarkson roommate from 1972-73 so the trip was not totally worthless.

that neutral ice record of 0-5 and being outscored 22-9 really stings. will Winnipeg live up to its name, or will it be Loseipeg for the Knights?
Happy 2012 everyone. Be patient, things will get better, much better.

It is my understanding that the ECAC announces three separate weekly categories of recognition during the season: (1) the player of the week (2) the rookie of the week (3) the goaltender of the week.

Those other players, not selected for the individual awards listed above but whose names are shown on the ECAC Weekly Awards website automatically then become members of the ECAC Weekly Honor Roll.

Subsequently, our Golden Stars were shining brightly after this weekend.

(1) Sam Labrecque was named the Rookie of the Week.

(2) Louke Oakley was named to the Honor Roll under the category of Player of the Week (that award went to someone else, from Union I think).

(3) Paul Karpowich was named to the Honor Roll under the category of Goaltender of the Week (that award went to someone else, again from Union I think). It is not fun for me to pay attention to any other award winners except those selected from Clarkson.:)

Also, I believe the ECAC names Players of the Month in these same categories.

It is rather complex to explain, so I hope this makes sense to our readers.

BEAT THE SLUZERS SATURDAY KNIGHT!
