Iacobellis Named UMass Hockey Captain; Nick Jenny Commits For 2016
The Massachusetts hockey team held its banquet this past Saturday where sophomore forward Steven Iacobellis was named captain for the 2015-16 season. I can’t speak for his leadership in the locker room, but there’s no double he has been impactful when he’s been on the ice. This past season the team was undefeated in games where he scored a goal. He missed a couple games due to injury and I felt his absence as a playmaker was very noticeable. I personally named him as my Underrated Player of the Year and I think Iacobellis has made a good case for this selection in his two years in the maroon and white.

The Massachusetts hockey program got it’s second commitment in two days. Yesterday it was forward Ryan Badger. Today it was defenseman Carmine Buono. Buono, a 1997 birth year, played this past season for Powell River of the BCHL where he was teammates with fellow UMass recruit Kurt Keats. He and Keats also played together for Canada West in the Junior B Challenge this past winter.

View From Balcony 322: Why Not Us? (Go Friars!)
On Thursday I was at the TD Garden with 18,000 other diehard college hockey fans from across the country to experience the wonderful event that is the Frozen Four. If you haven’t attended a Frozen Four before, I highly recommend it. As big as college hockey is in some of our lives it’s still has a relatively small hardcore following, so it’s a lot of fun to get all those fans together in one place at one time. It’s interesting to see all the different jerseys and traditions of programs you don’t typically interact with much.

Recruit Update: Leonard Named To Herald’s Dream Team
It’s been a little while so time to see how the recruits who are still playing are doing. It’s very likely that we’ll see a few more recruits join this list in the coming months. The team is losing 5 forwards, 3 defensemen and a goalie to graduation or early departure but only have 3 forwards, 2 or 3 defensemen (depending on when McCarthy arrives), and a goaltender line up for next fall currently. So very likely that we could see a couple more forwards and maybe a defenseman added to next year’s incoming class.

Support FTT
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.
