Thank you Tim, I do appreciate you kind words. The Maine - UNH rivalry has
certainly grown as the success of both programs has increased. The players,
coaches and fans of New Hampshire had a super hockey season and they have
many reasons to be proud of the Wildcats. With a Hobey Baker Award winner a
Regular Season Championship and National Runner-up they are on the right
path...a difficult path, but the right one. Losing this year's title isn't
the end for UNH. It is just one more step on the path to being a consistent
National power.
 
Good luck to you and the 'cats in the future (except against UMaine)!
