Wait, HC's captain is going to a league rival school? How is this cool at all?

Merrimack beats us with a grad transfer quarterback then we give them our hockey captain as a grad transfer. The perceived value to undergraduate only is an emphasis on teaching as opposed to research. I'm sure HC is benefitting from this distinction. Somehow.

As a player, if you weren't recruited by the current staff, you can be on the outside looking in. And I'm sure Coach wants to get his recruits on the ice as soon as possible so he's not going to get in the way of a player that wants to transfer.

Good luck Carlie. You gave HC four years through to graduation. Thank you.

Emma Lange is going to Maine I saw this week. Seems like some of the HC fifth year players are getting offers from other HE schools so why do they struggle so much at HC?

Another Quinnipiac player coming to HC. Liam was a star player at Don Bosco Prep in NJ and averaged over a 1.5 pts per game for the Jersey Hitman of the NCDC while in juniors. Didn’t get much of an opportunity to play for a very strong Quinnipiac team as a freshman this past season.

Seemingly a very strong get for us. Well done by Coach Riga and staff.

REAL STRONG GET Hey Foley, we know that we are one of the bottom programs in Division I. You don't need to remind us that. We are a pretty grounded bunch here (most of us are, at least). A kid who was recently a recruit for Quinnipiac, who has made the NCAA Tournament six times since 2013, and is now coming to our program is seemingly a nice get. If he was good enough for Quinnipiac to want him not long ago, and assuming he still knows how to skate, means he probably can play a nice role for Holy Cross hockey. Take your shtick elsewhere, or is there not enough activity on the UNH and other AE boards to captivate your interest?

That suggests the possibility of an even more strategic "get". In any case, I can see the value of Coach Riga's background and familiarity with regional hockey as opposed to another coach's background and familiarity with basketball in other parts of the country at time of hire.
No criticism of either coach for their background of course, but it's great to see a coach using his contacts and regional knowledge to help HC.

Going to have to trust the judgment of our head coach who obviously knows Liam very well over the guy who read a PDF of Q’s season stats.

Curious move - from Worcester to Anchorage and without an HC degree - I think this hurts our goaltending depth for next season

This is a loss. Only 1 returning goalie (Gale) and potentially an incoming freshman (Louden Hogg). Radomsky was streaky and quite good on his good streaks. Wish him well in Fairbanks, but agree it is a bit curious as he could still grad transfer after getting an HC degree.

Will he be getting a degree from HC or not? The last two posts seem to state different things about that.

Sorry if not clear. He is transferring after his junior year, so he is not getting a HC degree. The timing of this transfer is curious to me (as well as Purple Haze) because he could have stayed for his senior year, got his degree and do a grad transfer year (like Matt Slick and Ryan Leibold). Also, Alaska Fairbanks is an independent program w/o a league, so it’s not like he is leaving HC for a demonstratively better program / league.

Well they are a better program going 14-18-2 as an independent last season. Holy Cross finished in last place in the worst conference in the country...so please tell me how Holy Cross hockey is better than playing for an independent that played the national champion and multiple other NCAA teams.

Reading comprehension is not your strong suit I see. I never said HC was a better program. Alaska has no path to the NCAA, has financial difficulties, just got dropped from their league and is at the mercy of other leagues to put together a good schedule. With the addition of Lindenwood and Augustana to the D1 ranks, that job is only going to get tougher and a lot more expensive. So while they just had a better season than HC, I would not consider them a “demonstratively” better situation than HC.

So while they just had a better season than HC, I would not consider them a “demonstratively” better situation than HC. Arizona State made the NCAA tournament as an independent in 2018-2019....so there is a path to the NCAA Tournament. Alaska finished 29th in the PWR and Holy Cross finished 51. That is a big gap between two teams with only two wins between each other. He is likely going to play games at Alaska instead of starting on the bench for 13 games this season.
