Re: URI's D1/Atlantic Hockey Candidacy
This team, as constituted without major upgrades (yes including coaching, as recruiting is much, much different), will not win much at D3 and will get steamrolled in D1. Also, and I feel like this should be stated, how a club team did in 2007 is completely irrelevant to how it would do as a varsity...

Re: URI's D1/Atlantic Hockey Candidacy
I don't know what makes people think URI can compete at D1 as is. They had a home and home vs. University of New England over the last two years and lost 9-1 on home ice, and 5-4 in Maine. They have to make program improvements (scholarships, coaching etc) to win at D3, let alone in the Atlantic Ho...

UMass ice hockey has a long history dating back to 1908.

Ice hockey returned in 1993 with the ope...
