Two USHL goalies signed recently – Chuback with Niagara, Grosenick with Union – was UMass considering either of those two?

It will continue every year until the NCAA, OHL, and NHL come up with a mutually beneficial agreement. Right now the NCAA has the least leverage.

It’s small consolation, but a Northeastern team I thought would be downright scary next year just lost Jake Newton, probably the best freshman defenseman in Hockey East, to the Anaheim Ducks. At least we’re not the only team falling victim to NHL poaching.

I’m glad the distracted Wellman is gone. We really need players whose sole focus is on whats best for UMass hockey. I will miss the Wellman we saw at the beginning of the year. But once he got a sniff of his pro potential, that guy was gone.

I wouldn’t say the same about Marcou.

Couldnt have said it much better, I have enjoyed Wellman right from his first game with Umass but these last few months have left little to enjoy from him, best of luck in the NHL Casey!!

Wow I thought I was the only one who wanted him gone. I agree completley with you on Wellman. I also feel the same way about Marcou.
