College Hockey News is reporting Quinnipiac’s Rand Pecknold will accept UMass’ offer to be head coach. Check back to FTT for coverage later today.
UPDATE: Other outlets are now reporting Pecknold has turned down UMass’ offer. I’ll do my best to sort things out later. As of now UMass hockey remains coachless (and radioless) and some would argue directionless.

Fear The Triangle will always be free. But there is some investment associated with providing first-hand coverage of UMass hockey. Specifically, domain hosting, travel, game streams, and ticket costs all add up. Not to mention the hours spent every day reading and writing about UMass hockey. I'll continue to do this for the foreseeable future even if it runs me into financial ruin (it won't, I think) and my wife divorces me (hopefully just as unlikely). But if you enjoy what you read here and want to show your support, here is a link to contribute to FTT via PayPal.
As always, thanks for reading!

/ July 2, 2012Not impressed by this hire. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt but I think the committee missed an opportunity to hire for the long term.

/ July 2, 2012Sounds like he Umile’d us this is what whistling dick did at UNH when we offered him the job. My opinion is that I would like to see Reilly get a chance, local guy with a solid hockey background.
