I’ve been thinking the same thing. No guarantees at this point.

Simpson not returning

Disappointing he isn’t coming back, but not terribly surprising. I noticed both he and Murphy listed as graduates during the Awards Gala the other day.

So that means they will have at least four open roster spots.

Bruce Hallihan’s latest article confirms Murphy is also graduating and won’t be back.

MacDougall “is still hoping winger Oliver Cooper will return for a fifth season.”

He also says recruiting is “progressing favourably.”

 

[Craig D]

Yes for sure Simpson, Murphy, Watling, McIvor and Anderson are done. Cooper is working on his MBA, he may have more to do with that not sure. A very different off-season for the Reds and G-Mac with not being able to do in-person recruiting, this is something we are known for and he excels at....but in G-Mac we trust!

 

[Craig D]

Great start to the rumor mill per Victor Findlay this week with Austen Keating, Jason Willms and Nicolas Guay being reported to having committed to UNB for next season. Love it! Still a long way to go before puck drop but liking what I am hearing! In G-Mac we Trust!!

Get a stud D-man and call it a summer...leaving one spot open for Christmas.

Unb has D committed to replace the rumour Brady Lyle

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Certainly sounds like they are having better luck so far this year than they had last year.

Pretty sure Lyle just signed a pro-contract so that would take him off the table. Prior to that he was rumored to be on UNB's radar. Lots of off-season yet!

Maybe I’m misinterpreting, but I think he is saying they already have someone committed to replace Lyle.

Correct.

I’ve been thinking about this a bit lately...got to think it’s a real possibility hockey schools/rookie tournaments/development camps/training camps are affected...and maybe even pre-season/NCAA exhibition games, if not the regular season.

yeah, I could see there being no pre-season.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

yeah, I could see there being no pre-season.

I think they would have to set aside at least a weekend for pre-season...so give everyone a game or two.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the season gets started later than usual...maybe they go to a 24 game regular season this year in that case?

Manitoba, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and PEI could possibly see sporting activity.

Will the AUS start a hockey season if other sports are shut because they cannot travel to Quebec?

Will the CW start without BC? Or maybe Alberta?

Here's the latest table, which lacks a column for the number of people in hospital (the most important number, IMO).

Province	Confirmed	Recovered	Deaths
Manitoba	243	143	5
Quebec	18,537	3,555	877
Ontario	10,578	5,209	553
Alberta	2,803	1,198	55
B.C.	1,647	987	81
N.S.	675	200	9
Sask.	314	234	4
Nfld.	257	191	3
N.B.	118	91	0
P.E.I.	26	23	0
Yukon	9	8	0
N.W.T.	5	3	0
Nunavut	0	0	0

The big difference is that New Brunswick, so far, has avoided major infections at nursing homes.

Doing some thinking out loud here -

With Keating and Willms now official, there is your Watling/Anderson and Simpson replacement.

Guay would be the other Watling/Anderson replacement.

Landry looks more like a replacement for Murphy given his offensive numbers.

Hall was brought in last Christmas with the idea of him basically taking over McIvor’s role.

Those four recruits mean UNB has one or two (depending on Cooper) roster spots open. I can see a couple scenarios (I am assuming Cooper is back):

- Those four guys make up their recruiting class this summer and they leave one spot open for Christmas like usual.

- Having said that, if a stud player falls into their lap before the season begins I’m sure they aren’t going to say no.

- In the event the above scenario happens and they add one more guy and go into the season with a 22 player roster, do they go with that line-up all season? Or do they hold someone like Seitz out of the line-up for the entire first half to keep a roster spot open in case someone becomes available at Christmas?

Unb might add another ohl F now as well

Where’s Brett Neumann going? He’s a guy I’ve had my eyes on given his skating and scoring ability.

Landry announced.

Gotta think that’s going to be it for recruits this summer.

 

[FreddyFoyle]

UNB just announced a blended learning model for the Fall term. I would guess most student-athletes will be coming to campus in the Fall.
