Today Bamford announced that Saint Lawrence head coach Greg Carvel is the new coach of Minuteman hockey, signing a five-year deal to oversee the program.

Reports: UMass To Hire SLU’s Greg Carvel
ESPN’s John Buccigross is reporting that UMass will hire St Lawrence head coach Greg Carvel as its next head coach. Carvel holds a graduate degree from UMass and was once an assistant coach at Amherst College.
Prior to being named coach at SLU, where he served as captain as a player, Carvel was an assistant coach in the NHL with the Senstors and Ducks. He won the ECAC Coach of the Year in 2015.

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.
