ECHC Sit-Down with U ALBANY Captain TJ Poublon
Hey TJ...
I was named Captain just following try-outs, Coach Gramlich informed me of the decision and I was very excited for the responsibility to lead this great team. I knew it was going to be a battle from the start of the season, we lost a lot of guys from last year, and it seemed that the team had a little different attitude from years past. I just hoped that my experience in the ACHA would help some of the new guys and that we could work towards getting to Nationals again .
Why attend U Albany?
Well after my sophomore year at the College of Saint Rose, I was not very impressed with their mathematics program. Thankfully I had the ability to remain in the Albany area, stay close to home, continue to play hockey, and shrink some of my college bills so it definitely was a no brainer.

EMPIRE Scoring Race Tightens Up
First place in the South was most likely decided last weekend when FGCU beat UCF 7 to 1 to take the season series 3 to 1. UCF will stay at #2 with their 8 to 0 early season victory over #3 Loyola
Even with Davenport sitting at #3, two wins by the defending National Champs from Saginaw over #2 Hope maybe enough to earn the bye back to Nationals out of the North
Farmingdale seemed to wrapped up a bye to the sunshine state with their win over #4 Brandywine.
Southern Connecticut, the team that ousted the then defending National Champs Cal at Regionals last year, got their horses back in the stable for this year's Regional run. Their roster got more impressive and they have celebrated with two wins over top 15 teams already this semester.
They may appear to be on the outside looking in but the Spiders control their own destiny. Richmond, sitting at #11 has #9 ESU twice and #3 Loyola still left on the schedule.
The College of the Canyons secures #1 seed in the Pacific with a convincing win over #4 Fresno and Northridge handed COC back their 3 first votes with their loss to unranked Long Beach.
Delta will try to hold the 10th spot in the North but they need to keep Kettering off the score board on Feb. 5th to do it. A win in one of the two vs. Saginaw would help to.
With their schedule Behrend could play spoiler in the Atlantic, they need to beat rival Altoona and probably even Fredonia to do it but they could sneak into 10 if St. Vincents and/or Siena continue to
lose.
Based on voters total points, 8 of the 10 spots in the Pacific seem to be a lock but the real question is for #10. #11 Iowa State has two vs #10 South Dakota on Feb. 5th and 6th. Looks like Regionals starts two weeks early out West!
MCHC (Michigan) is the first conference to announce their roster for the All-Star Challenge coming in March, but we all know it won't be
enough to beat the fist pumping boys from the Empire.
