He enters the week with 117 career wins, just behind UMass Hall of Famer Jack Canniff who had 120 wins in his career from 1967-79. He also needs three more wins to record his 300th overall win as a head coach. • Under Cahoon’s tenure, UMass made its first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance (2007) and played for the Hockey East Championship title in 2003. HARD TO BEAT WHEN SCORING 3’S • UMass is 4-0-0 this season when lighting the lamp three times or more in a game and 0-1-1 when they score fewer than three goals. When UMass scored three or more goals last season, the Mass Attack was nearly undefeated with a 14-3-2 record. When the Minutemen failed to do so, their record was 0-13-4. • UMass has scored six goals-or-more on two occassions - at RPI (10/21, 6-0) and against Providence (10/31 - 9-4). The nine goals scored against the Friars is the most in Hockey East this season. FOUR-OR-MORE IS BEST • Over the last 50 games where UMass scores four-or-more goals, the Minutemen are an amazing 47-2-1. Before the home loss against Vermont (1/25), the Mass Attack had not lost a game when scoring four-or-more goals since March 14, 2003 against New Hampshire in the Hockey East Semifinals (5-4). • UMass scored a season-high five goals on seven occasions last year: in the wins over Merrimack (11/3; 3/7), Boston University (11/9; 3/1), against Union (11/25), Colorado College (12/29), and Maine (2/2). • Last season, UMass scored four-or-more goals in 11 games. MULLINS MAGIC • UMass is 1-0-0 this season at home having played six of its first seven games (including the Merrimack game) on the road. • The Minutemen lost just three games at home last season going 8-3-4 (.667) at the Mullins Center. The loss to New Hampshire on Jan. 11 broke a 13-game home unbeaten streak which dated back to the 2006-07 season. • Over the last 44 games at the Mullins Center, UMass is 27-10-7 (.686) including a 14-3-4 mark in 2006-07. • All-time, UMass is 114-107-26 in the Mullins Center including a 6693-20 record among Hockey East foes. Under Don Cahoon, UMass sports a 70-53-14 record at home. LARGEST SHUTOUT WIN IN 12 TEARS • UMass’ 6-0 win over RPI was its largest shutout win since defeating Army 8-0 on Nov. 22, 1996 – nearly 12 years ago. The six goals were the most scored by the Minutemen since beating UMass Lowell 6-3 on Jan. 26, 2007. MOST GOALS SCORED IN 12 TEARS • UMass’ 9-4 win over Providence was its largest goal scoring night since the 10-2 win over Air Force on Nov. 30, 1996. • The nine goals were the most ever scored by the Minutemen against a Hockey East opponent. HAPPY 25TH ANNIVERSARY • 2008-09 marks the 25th anniversary of the Hockey East Association - regarded as the top collegiate hockey conference in America. To commemorate the anniversary, Hockey East will be debuting a DVD in time for christmas and will announce several anniversary teams and special moments during the season. Fans can vote on these at www.HockeyEastOnline.com. FACING OFF WITH QUIRK • Cory Quirk established himself last season as one of UMass’ top face-off specialists. This season, he is 78-51 (.605) in six games. Against RPI, he was 13-for-19 in the face-off dot and in both games against Providence (10/31, 11/1) he was 11-for-17. • In 36 games in 2007-08, he had a 556-364 (.604) face-off record which was the best on the team. He won over 300 more face-offs than any other player on the team. QUIRK A TOP SCORING THREAT • Over the final 25 games of 2007-08, Cory Quirk picked up his scoring to move into second place on the team with 10 goals and 15 assists. • With one goal and seven assists in 2008-09, Quirk is tied for 19th all-time at UMass in career points (81), is tied for 20th in goals (33) and ranks 18th in assists (48). MARCOU HAVING A SUPER SOPHOMORE SEASON • In 2008-09, James Marcou leads the Minutemen with five goals, six assists, and one gamewinning goal. He posted five points (2g, 3a) against Providence (10/31) before finishing the weekend with another goal and two assists at MARCOU Providence (11/1) the next night. • Following his performance against Providence (10/31, 11/1) he was named the INCH National Player of the Week Runner-Up, the Hockey East Player of the Week, the New England Hockey Journal Player of the Week, and the Hockey East Player of the Month Runner-Up. • Marcou was one of the top offensive rookies in Hockey East last season after leading the Minutemen with 8 goals and 24 assists for 32 points. In 36 games, he had 11 multi-point nights. • Marcou earned Hockey East All-Rookie Team honors and was a member of the Hockey East All-Academic Team. Additionally, he was one of 15 semifinalists for the 56th annual Walter Brown Award. • Marcou also netted UMass’ only hat trick of the season last year with three goals against Vermont (1/25/08). BRAUN ONE OF HOCKEY EAST’S TOP DEFENSEMEN • Junior defenseman Justin Braun is not only one of the best defensemen for the Minutemen, but he is one of the best in the entire league. Last season, he finished sixth on the team in points with four goals and 16 assists. • Braun plays on the top power play and penalty BRAUN kill lines and is one of the team leaders in minutes played. • The 2007 member of the Hockey East All-Rookie Team was the 201st pick overall last season in the NHL Draft by the Pittsburgh Penguins who traded his rights to the San Jose Sharks. THE PUCK STOPS HERE • Paul Dainton missed the first four games of the season due to injury, but saw his first action in the second period of the game against Providence (10/31) where he made 17 saves and did not allow a goal. He made his first start of the season and picked up his second win the next DAINTON night at Providence (11/1). • All-time, Dainton has already cracked several of UMass’ goalie charts. He ranks second in save percentage (.914), second in goals against average (2.46), and 11th in saves (889). The man above him in terms of save percentage and goals against average is none other than former All-American Jon Quick. • A relative unknown heading into the 2007-08 season, Dainton was pressed into action early last season after an injury sidelined Dan Meyers. Dainton quickly impressed the coaching staff and became the team’s starting goalie last year. He finished his first season in Amherst with nods to the Hockey East All-Rookie Team and the Hockey East All-Academic Team. • Dainton’s story is a unique one as he actually came to UMass without ever having visited the campus. With the summertime departure of Quick, the coaching staff had heard of and seen Dainton play and spoke to him about joining the team looking for a solid goalie. QUIRK www.umassathletics.com UMASS HOCKEY NOTES • MERRIMACK • 5 MEYERS HAS HOT HAND BETWEEN THE PIPES • With Dainton suffering an injury in preseason practice, Dan Meyers took over between the pipes and has started five of the six games this season. Meyers has been nothing short of outstanding making 120 saves, posting a 2.25 goals against average, and recording a .923 save percentage. • In his five outings so far, Meyers has set a new career-high for saves (40 MEYERS vs. North Dakota) and earned his first career shutout (vs. RPI). • He currently ranks 25th nationally in goals against average and 22nd nationally in save percentage. • Meyers was twice named the Hockey East Defensive Player of the Week, the runner-up for the HEA Goalkeeper of the Month, and was a two-time New England Hockey Journal Player of the Week. • Meyers was the original starting goalie heading in 2007-08 as the lone returner between the pipes, but suffered an injury following the St. Lawrence game. He backed-up All-American Jon Quick as a freshman in 2006-07. • Having a strong beginning to the season will pay dividends for UMass down the stretch as Cahoon and the coaching staff know they have a pair of quality goaltenders to use on any given night without having to worry about working one too much. WELCOME BACK JOHN WESSBECKER • Defenseman John Wessbecker missed much of the second half of last season due to injury playing in just 14 games. The 2005 7th round draft pick of Tampa Bay is one of UMass’ top returning blueliners along with Justin Braun and Martin Nolet. • He made his return to the lineup at Rensselaer where he picked up an assist on the very first goal of the game. He also was critical in UMass’ penalty kill which allowed just one shot and held the Engineers scoreless WESSBECKER on three RPI power plays. Wessbecker also picked up a penalty and added some additional toughness to the UMass defense – when an RPI skater was crashing in towards Dan Meyers after a whistle, Wessbecker promptly impeded his momentum. • For his career, Wessbecker has played in 92 career games with one goal and eight assists. BEVIS HONORS LATE MOTHER WITH FUND TO FIGHT BRAIN CANCER • Topher Bevis lost his mother Patricia in 1998 when he was 12 to brain cancer. Since that tragic moment, Topher, his father and his two brothers have established The Patty Fund in conjuction with the Massachusetts General Hospital to help fund research for the study and treatment of the disease. BEVIS • The fund raised over $50,000 this past summer with its annual Golf Tournament. • Bevis netted his first goal of the season against North Dakota (10/11) in Agganis Arena. His lone goal of the 2007-08 season was also scored in Agganis - then in the 5-3 win over Boston University (11/9). Through six games in 2008-09, Bevis has one goal and three assists. LOOK FOR DAN MEYERS’ MOVIE PICKS ON UMASSATHLETICS.COM • Known to the team as a movie fanatic, Dan Meyers has agreed to share his thoughts and movie critiques with fans with a blog on UMassAthletics.com. Meyers will pick out different movies and share his thoughts on them throughout the season. • Meyers’ movie collection is a big bonus for the team when travelling on long bus trips during the year. QUIRK, WATSON TO LEAD UMASS • Cory Quirk and Brett Watson will be the co-captains of the 2008-09 Mass Attack. Quirk is one of UMass’ top scoring threats, while Watson is a dependable do-everything type of center. BERRY, HOBBS SPEND SUMMER TIME IN PROSPECT CAMPS • Alex Berry and Danny Hobbs each spent part of their summers working out at prospect camps with their respective draft teams. Berry was a 5th round pick in the 2005 entry draft by Toronto, while Hobbs was a 7th round pick in the 2007 draft by the New York Rangers. Berry was featured in a video package by the Maple Leafs on what the experience was like. BERRY • Berry had his best statistical season offensively in 2007-08 scoring 10 goals and adding 7 assists. He was red-hot to finish the year scoring seven goals in the last nine games. • The work seems to have paid off as Berry has netted a career-high three assists twice this season - in the win over North Dakota (10/11) and in the win at Providence (11/1). ORTIZ GIVES SPEAKS AT CHESTNUT SCHOOL MIDDLE SCHOOL • Junior forward Will Ortiz spoke to about 150 middle schoolers and faculty members at the Chestnut School in Springfield last week on the importance of continuing their education and making smart decisions in life. His speech also focused on some decisions he had to make in his life and how he has been able to overcome a tough environment to be able to fulfill his dreams. ORTIZ CANNIFF ENSHRINED IN UMASS HALL OF FAME • Former all-time UMass hockey coaching great Jack Canniff was enshrined in the UMass Hall Of Fame on Oct. 3, 2008. Canniff served as the hockey coach from 1967-79, leading UMass to its only conference championship in program history, as the then-Redmen won the ECAC Division II title in 1972. • A fixture on the bench, Canniff is UMass’ all-time leader in career victories with 120. Canniff was named the ECAC Coach of the Year in 1972 as he led the squad to a 19-7-0 overall record. UMass captured the ECAC crown with an 8-1 win over Buffalo on March 11, 1972 in Amherst. Canniff ranks second all-time in career win percentage among all hockey coaches and second among all coaches in career playoff appearances. • He developed three All-Americans, all from the 1972 team (P.J. Flaherty, Pat Keenan and Brian Sullivan). Canniff graduated from Boston College in 1954. LANGERAAP ADDS SIZE, SCORING TO FORWARD LINE • Along with John Wessbecker, Chase Langeraap made his return to the UMass lineup against RPI after missing the tailend portion of last season with an injury. He also missed the first two games of this season. • In his two games back, however, he has added considerable size and scoring power to the forward lines. At 6-2, 202 lbs., Langeraap is a load on the left wing. Against RPI, he had two assists, while at New Hampshire LANGERAAP he scored UMass’ lone goal. • This season, he has two goals, three assists, and a +4 rating. • Last season, he played in 21 games posting three goals and two assists. THE BQM LINE PUTTING UP SOUND NUMBERS • The line of Alex Berry-Cory Quirk-James Marcou is the only forward line to skate together in all six games so far this season. The trio netted a combined 11 points over Providence (10/31), eight points at Providence (11/1) and seven points in the win over North Dakota. Just over 43 percent of UMass’ points have been produced by this line so far this season: 28-of-65. A PAIR OF DRAFT PICKS ANCHOR BLUE LINE • Martin Nolet and Justin Braun have started each game this season as UMass’ top defensive pair - their first season as line mates. Nolet was a 5th-round draft pick by Los Angeles in the 2006 draft (144th overall), while Braun was a 7th-round draft pick by San Jose in the 2007 draft (201st overall). NOLET • Both players have been key on special teams as they are both on the top power play and penalty kill units. Each also has one assist for the season. • For the last two seasons, Nolet started every game paired with captain Mike Kostka, while Braun was paired with David Leaderer. KEY NUMBERS FROM 2007-08 • UMass put up some good numbers in 2007-08 statistically and ranked among the top teams in Hockey East. With the amount of talent returning to each area of the ice, those numbers should continue to improve in 2008-09. Below are the categories and rank among Hockey East Teams. Team Offense: 2.72 goals per game, 4th Team Defense: 2.69 goals against per game, 4th Power Play: 16.9 percent, T-4th Penalty Kill: 82.4 percent, 9th DAVID LEADERER BECOMES UMASS IRON MAN • Last season, defenseman David Leaderer set a new UMass program record for career games played on March 8 at Merrimack when he suited up for his 147th career game. He broke the school record which was previously held by Marvin Degon who played in 146 from 2002-06. Leaderer finished his career playing in 149 career games - every one of his UMass career. 2008-09 UMASS HOCKEY 6 • UMASS HOCKEY NOTES • MERRIMACK MINUTEMEN IN THE PROS UPDATE • UMass has one alum who is currently on a NHL roster: Thomas Pock with the New York Islanders. Former UMass All-America Jon Quick lasted through the preseason until the final cut with the L.A. Kings before being reassigned to Manchester. • All five seniors from the 2007-08 signed contracts to play in various profession hockey leagues including P.J. Fenton who is with the Worcester Sharks in the AHL and Mike Kostka who is with the Portland Pirates (AHL). • Matt Anderson won the 2008 Calder Cup with the Chicago Wolves last season.

MEYERS MOVIE BLOG #2 - HALLOWEEN PICKS • Hello again everyone, Dan Meyers here and welcome to my second movie blog of the season. I hope you guys took the time to check out the previous titles I suggested and enjoyed them. In the second blog of the season with Halloween right around the corner, I thought it would be fitting to devote this one entirely to Horror flicks. To be honest, I myself have always been somewhat of a chicken when it comes to horror, but I love and respect the genre. • When I was younger I remember certain classic horror movies frightening me beyond belief. Those experiences really played a huge part in my developing fascination with cinema. I will be adding new input from my teammates every week. This week I will choose two of my favorite horror films, which I strongly suggest you guys check out. This Week’s Flicks - Oct. 30 1. The Shining • This film is one of the best horror movies of all time. Done by legendary director Stanley Kubrick it has all the elements of not just a thrilling horror movie, but a fantastic flick as well. Jack Nicholson gives an unforgettable performance as Jack Torrance. He and his family volunteer to house sit an isolated hotel through the winter. During their stay they encounter the dangerous spirits left in the hotel due to its deadly past. This 1980 film will hold its own as one of the best horror classics. If you have not seen it yet be sure to rent it ASAP and enjoy the brilliance of Kubrick and Nicholson. Be sure to look out for one of the most repeated movie lines in history......”Heeeeeere’s Johnny!” 2. 28 Days Later • I chose 28 Days later as one of my favorite horror films because I personally love the zombie genre. The premise of 28 Days Later is interesting because unlike the usual living dead films, these zombies are human beings infected by a virus. Although a virus like the film’s is still a stretch from reality, it has a certain sense of realism as if it could happen. The movie is directed by British indie director Danny Boyle and begins with the main character Jim (Cillian Murphy) awakening in an abandoned hospital. He then ventures into an empty London, which I believe is one of the coolest shots in all of cinema. The movie then picks up intensely when Jim realizes that everyone is either dead or infected. The movie’s strong points are its acting and cinematography. One of my favorite character actors, Brenden Gleeson, has a big role as one of the survivors Jim encounters. This film includes a brilliant character study to see how people would react in such a situation. Also, the film has an underlying political tone of what could happen in the future with all the threats of chemical warfare. Please watch and enjoy... *Both Movies are rated R so please keep the young ones occupied while you enjoy! Favorite Horror Flicks Around The Locker Room • Chris Davis - Mothman Prophecies • Justin Braun - The Exorcist (cried in pure terror as a child when I first saw it) • Brett Watson - Saw ( only the first, the rest of them struggle ) • Martin Nolet - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original 1970 version) • Will Ortiz - Leprechaun • Brian Keane - The Sixth Sense • Matt Gedman - The Princess Diaries • Chris Davis’ Movie Snack Of The Week: # Bunch a Crunch • Alex “Big Bear” Berry has one of the most impressive memories when it comes to quoting movies. So I thought it would be fitting to include a weekly movie quote from the man who never runs out. Look out for them in each upcoming blog. • This week’s is from a childhood classic The Sandlot: “Remember kid, there’s heroes and there’s legends. Heroes get remembered but legends never die, follow your heart kid, and you’ll never go wrong.” - The Great Bambino • Also, I want to give Julie from www.Hockeybuzz.com a shout out for reading the blog, hope you enjoy the movies! • Thanks again for checking out my blog everyone, be sure to see a good movie every now and then, but more importantly, be sure to come to our game this Friday night for our home opener against Providence at 7 PM. With it being Halloween Night, be sure to wear your favorite costume to the Mullins Center! See you at the rink!

Under his guidance, UMass achieved its best season in school history in 2006-07 capped by a berth to the NCAA Tournament and the Minutemen's first NCAA win - a 1-0 overtime victory over Clarkson in the tournament's first round. Perhaps the most impressive statistic in Cahoon’s seven years, however, have been the 61 Hockey East Academic All-Conference performers that have played under him, including three Distinguished Scholars and five All-Stars. He has also coached members of the University’s prestigious Commonwealth College. As head coach of the Minutemen, Cahoon has taken the program to new levels nationally and in Hockey East. In 2007-08, UMass earned its highest national ranking ever, No. 5, after a terrific start to the season and wins over Notre Dame and Colorado College for the Lightning College Hockey Classic Championship. It was the second time under Cahoon that the Minutemen had been ranked among the top seven teams in the country (the previous high ranking was No. 7 in 2003). Along with that, the Marblehead, Mass., native took UMass to its first ever NCAA Tournament in 2006-07 where the Mass Attack defeated Clarkson in the first round. The 2006-07 campaign was one for the record books under Cahoon that fans will never forget. UMass posted it's highest win total ever for a season (21) as part of the NCAA Tournament run. All told, 10 of those wins were against ranked teams. Cahoon guided the Minutemen to the Hockey East Tournament and to the program's second-ever berth to the HEA Semifinals. Another highlight of the unforgettable season was goaltender Jon Quick becoming just the fifth-ever All-American player (second in the modern era) for UMass when he was named to the RBK Division I Second-Team. With the team's success came a special honor for Cahoon as well as he was named the Coach of the Year by the New England Hockey Writers Association - his second such honor. The 2005-06 Minutemen gave fans some of the most memorable wins over ranked opponents in the program’s history. UMass defeated then-No. 3 Boston College, No. 3 Colorado College, No. 5 Vermont, No. 9 New Hampshire, No. 13 Vermont and No. 14 Boston University. Marvin Degon also became one of the most prolific defensemen in the nation, heading to the AHL after the season concluded. In the three seasons prior, the Minutemen registered a 41-52-9 overall record and they were ranked for most of the 2003-04 season and reached the Hockey East title game, falling in an epic three-overtime battle against Maine. The 2002-03 squad advanced to the Hockey East Semifinals for the first time in school history and recorded the highest Hockey East finish in school history. For his efforts, Cahoon was named Hockey East Coach of the Year and New England Coach of the Year. The 2001-02 edition of the UMass hockey team was a young squad that earned eight wins throughout the season. However, the Minutemen were extremely competitive, appearing in 13 one-goal games. The 2001-02 team also captured Hockey East’s prestigious Charles E. Holt Team Sportsmanship Award for the first time in school history. In his first year with the Minutemen, he guided UMass to an 8-22-4 record, including seven Hockey East wins, which was the second-most league wins in school history. Cahoon came to UMass from Princeton, where he rebuilt the Tigers struggling hockey program. He led the Tigers to their first-ever ECAC Tournament title, as well as the school’s first NCAA Tournament appearance in 1998, and produced five seasons of 18-plus wins over the last nine years. Cahoon made an immediate impact when he took over the coaching reins at Princeton in 1991. During his first season as the head coach, he led the Tigers to a 12-14-1 overall record and the ECAC quarterfinals. In 1994-95, Cahoon’s Tigers beat then-top-ranked and unbeaten Maine in Orono in the Dexter Classic championship game en route to their first winning season in over a quarter century. It also marked the first time in school history that Princeton advanced to the ECAC finals. Following the season, Cahoon was named a finalist for American Hockey Coaches Association Division I Coach of the Year honors. In 1997-98, Cahoon guided Princeton to its first-ever ECAC title and first-ever appearance in the NCAA Tournament. His teams have also enjoyed success in regular season tournaments. While at Princeton, the Tigers won the Dexter Classic (1994), the Capital District Christmas Classic in Ottawa (1995) and the Mariucci Classic (1998). Prior to his head coaching position at Princeton, Cahoon served as an assistant under Jack Parker at Boston University, helping guide the Terriers to the 1990-91 NCAA national championship game, which they eventually lost in three overtimes. The 1990-91 season at Boston University marked Cahoon’s third stint as an assistant with the Terriers. He was also an assistant there from 1974-79 and during the 1987-88 season. Cahoon was primarily responsible for recruiting the players on the 1977-78 team that won the NCAA championship. He began his coaching career as the head coach at Lehigh University (1973-74) where he guided the Engineers to the Mid-Atlantic Conference title with a 10-5-2 record before moving on to Boston University. Cahoon then became the head coach at Norwich University from 1979-82, where he compiled a 48-35-2 record while leading Norwich to the ECAC Division II playoffs in each of his three seasons. In 1982, Cahoon went overseas to serve as the director of hockey operations and head coach of the Vienna Ice Club in the Austrian Ice Hockey Federation where he led the team to a 23-12-2 record. He returned to the United States the following season as an assistant at the University of Lowell, where he stayed until 1986. Cahoon has scouted for the then-Minnesota North Stars of the National Hockey League and the 1984 U.S. Olympic Team. He also served as head coach of the 1990 U.S. Select 16 Team. Cahoon has coached two U.S. Olympic Festival teams in 1982 and 1990 and was an assistant for the U.S. Junior National Team in 1991 and 1995. A 1972 graduate of Boston University with a B.S. in education, Cahoon played left wing for the Terriers, earning two national championship rings as an instrumental part of both the 1971 and 1972 NCAA championship teams. Following his career with the Terriers, Cahoon represented the United States at the 1972 World Championships, helping the national team to capture the silver medal in Bucharest, Romania. He then signed a contract with the New England Whalers of the World Hockey Association after graduation. Cahoon was born April 13, 1949, in Lynn, Mass. He graduated from Marblehead High School before attending Kimball Union Academy in Meriden, N.H. He and his wife, Cindy, have two children, Christopher (29) and Heidi (28), and three grandkids, Jason (12), Makayla (9) and Shaun (4). The Cahoons reside in Amherst. 2008-09 UMASS HOCKEY 12 • UMASS HOCKEY NOTES • MERRIMACK Coaching Experience 1973-74 Head Coach Lehigh University; Bethlehem, Pa.
