This is for all the UMass players and fans who came before. For all the losing seasons and getting blown out 14-1. For Mallen and Toot who fought ADs who didn’t care about hockey. For that 1993 team pulled together in mere months. The sleeping giant has arrived. We’re champs!

Tonight was a reminder that UMass nation is a force. Conte was Mullins East tonight. The Boston schools may get the press and have the hockey history but We Have The Numbers. There will be more opportunities to see this team. Show up! Buy tickets! Wear maroon! Get loud! Go UMass!

This team. Stifled for much of the game, found their footing a bit in the third, and then dominated in overtime. They learned, adapted, and triumphed in the course of the game. Unbelievable.

Hi. So like 5 months ago we said “if you want call college football and college hockey please, please, please wear a mask and socially distance”. And you didn’t. And here we are. So, take your crying somewhere else. We tried. You suck.

I love my UMass family. I would never troll you. So what I have to say is sincere. After spending the weekend in Amherst for all the various Homecoming activities and interacting with all types of UMass people I’ve come to a conclusion. UMass is a hockey school. 🏒

Cannot wait to say goodbye to 2021. This was a tough year. Lost my mother and mother-in-law (on the same day) and a beloved pet. My company was acquired and I’ve had to say goodbye to countless colleagues. But I’ll never forget this moment. Sunshine among the darkness.

Hurts not to be in Pittsburgh. But I didn’t disrupt my life the past year just to let my guard down and potentially put others at risk now. And since I guess I’m too healthy for the vax yet I’ll watch from home. But if UMass lifts the trophy I don’t care where I’m watching from

This was a tough week with three games in four days, made tougher by a long icy trip home on the Pike last night. They won Wednesday in a place they’ve won just once in like a decade and then swept a very talented Northeastern team. Not an easy feat. Team really coming together

One of the cooler and more humbling moments last week was Cale’s dad coming up and speaking with me briefly before the Hobey ceremony. As folks have already noted he and his wife are very friendly and gracious. I love seeing good things happen to good people.
Cale Makar’s parents reacting to his first NHL goal is everything you need to feel great on a Tuesday morning.

Outstanding! No Leonard. No Chaffee. Pandemic? No problem. And no COVID cases. This team has been incredibly focused all year and that’s due to Carvel and the staff. Congrats coach!

Let’s win this. Let’s win this for the school not supporting the program after the 1972 championship. For having to play at Orr Rink. For the school killing the program in the 70s. Let’s win it for handing Mallen the impossible task of creating a Hockey East program in six months

Win it for BC’s embarrassing 3 on 0 Flying V breakaway. Win it for all the last place finishes and the UMass faithful who stayed loyal throughout all of it. This is our time, UMass. OldMass is over. This is NewMass. Let’s win the whole damn thing. Go UMass!

4-0 after 2. UMass has played their game, dictated play for the last 30 minutes. Have to do the same for the next 20. No need to get super conservative. No prevent defense. Same as always; possession, no turnovers, faceoffs, penalty kill. What they’ve done all season.
