CAPTAIN: Mike Sislo was named the 106th captain in the
history of the UNH hockey program for the 2010-11 season. Matt
Campanale was named the alternate captain for the upcoming
season.Sislo finished a well-balanced junior campaign with 29
points on 14 goals and 15 assists. He is one of two players with 68
points (36g, 32a) to lead all returners coming into the upcoming
season, while his 36 goals is tops among all returners. Sislo
scored 22 of his 29 points in Hockey East play, scored four times
on the power play and twice short-handed. In the season prior,

THE DICK UMILE ERA: Dick Umile, a six-time Hockey
East Coach of the Year, enters his 21st season as the head coach of
the UNH Wildcats. He passed both Jerry York and Jack Parker in
becoming the first coach in league history to six coach of the year
honors. After signing a long-term contract in 2008, Umile will
conclude his coaching career at his alma mater.
During his time spent at UNH, Umile has molded
UNH hockey into one of the top programs in all of Division I
hockey, guiding the Wildcats to four Frozen Four appearances, 16
NCAA tournament appearances and 20 Hockey East championship
tournament showings in his 20-year career in Durham.
In addition, Umile has posted 17 20-victory
campaigns over the span of 20 seasons. Umile is now the winningest
coach in the history of UNH hockey with 462 career victories. He
surpassed legendary coach Charlie Holt on Feb. 16, 2005 in a 6-1
victory at Merrimack at Thom Lawler Arena in North Andover, Mass.
Umile ranks fifth among active NCAA coaches with a .645 winning
percentage and on the active victories list his 462 victories ranks
seventh among NCAA coaches. He has been named Coach of the Year a
total of 11 times in his career, including New England honors four
times and Hockey East Coach of the Year six times Last year, Umile
guided the Wildcats, who were picked fourth in the Hockey East
Preseason Poll, to their eighth regular season championship
including the third in the last four years. The Wildcats led the
Hockey East standings for an eye-popping 16-straight weeks, taking
over the league lead Nov. 23, 2009 and never relinquishing that
position. UNH went unbeaten at home in Hockey East play for the
first time since the 1999-00 season and won the regular season
series with six of nine league foes. Umile helped guide a team that
lost 10 players, including Hockey East All Star and leading scorer
James van Riemsdyk, from the 2008-09 squad to its 22nd straight
trip to the Hockey East playoffs and home-ice advantage in the
quarterfinals for a league-best 14th-straight season. After going
just 2-6-2 over its first 10 games, Umile's Wildcats responded with
a 10-1-2 mark over the next 13 games, including a 12-game unbeaten
streak in Hockey East play. Umile's run in the regular season was
capped by a dramatic 3-3 come-from-behind deadlock with Boston
College that clinched the league's crown in front of the home fans
on Senior Day at the Whittemore Center. The 'Cats earned an
at-large bid in the NCAA tournament for the ninth-straight season
and captured a convincing 6-2 win over favored Cornell in the
opening round, advancing to the regional final for the
second-straight season.
NETTING RESULTS: Junior Matt DiGirolamo
(Ambler, Pa., pictured right) will take over the reins in net for
the Wildcats, after serving as backup to All-American Brian Foster
for the past two seasons. DiGirolamo is 2-2-1 in eight career games
player including a 1-0-0 record last season. Backing up DiGirolamo
are junior Tyler
Scott (Ridgefield, Conn.) and freshman Jeff Wyer
(Reading, Mass.). Wyer, a highly touted Massachusetts goaltending
prospect, played last season for the Valley Junior Warriors of the
Eastern Junior Hockey League (EJHL). Scott, like DiGirolamo, backup
Foster for the past two seasons and added valuable depth to the New
Hampshire crease.
GETTING DEFENSIVE: Defense: One of the keys to
New Hampshire's success could be its experience on defense. UNH
returners five blueline starters and six skaters that saw
significant time in 2009-10. Anchored by junior All-American Blake
Kessel (Verona, Wis.), the 'Cats defense was stingy down the
stretch and proved it could contribute offensively as well. Kessel
finished second in the nation in defensive scoring (38 points) and
was a Hockey East All-Star first team honoree. Seniors Matt
Campanale (Chester Springs, Pa.) and Mike Beck (Long Beach,
Calif.) add veteran leadership, as both players were mainstays in
the New Hampshire lineup last season. Campanale, an alternate
captain, had 12 points in 39 games and was a +7, while Beck put up
sven points and was a +11. Junior Damon Kipp (Salmon
Arms, British Columbia, pictured right) appeared in all 39 games
and was second to Kessel in defensive scoring with 16 points.
Sophomores Brett
Kostolansky (Denver, Colo.) and Connor Hardowa
(Edmonton, Alberta) saw significant time on the ice for the
Wildcats. Kostolansky was on UNH's top defensive pair and tallied
12 assists, while Hardowa played in 29 games with two assists.
Fellow sophomore Ansel
Ivens-Anderson (Pound Ridge, N.Y.) could compete for ice time
defensively and has stepped up to the Wildcat offense on occasion.
Rounding out the defensive core are freshmen Eric Knodel
(West Chester, Pa.) and Justin
Agosta (East Meadow, N.Y.). Knodel, a fifth-round pick of the
Toronto Maple Leafs, adds size at 6-6, while Agosta is a scoring
threat from the blueline with 22 points last season in split time
between the USHL and EJHL.
FORWARD THINKING: While losing Hobey Baker "Hat
Trick" finalist Bobby Butler will be a hurdle for UNH, the team
returns 12 forwards that combined for 68 goals and 177 points a
year ago. Senior captain Mike Sislo (Superior, Wis.) ended 2009-10
on an offensive tear. Sislo is one of two Wildcats with 68 career
points entering the 2010-11 season and the sniper will be asked to
shoulder an additional load with the loss of Butler and Peter
LeBlanc. The other senior with 68 points is Phil DeSimone (East
Amherst, N.Y.). DeSimone, Paul Thompson (Derry, N.H., pictured
below) and Butler formed one of the nation's top lines a year
ago. Thompson is the team's top returning scorer with 39
points (19 goals, 20 assists) in 39 games, while DeSimone is just
behind that mark with 37 points (10g, 27a). Another senior that has
emerged as a staple in the Wildcat lineup is Greg Manz (Wayne, Pa.).
Manz played in 32 games with a pair of goals and an assist, all in
Hockey East play, in 2009-10 A trio of junior forwards all bring
unique skills and add depth to New Hampshire's offensive attack.
The speedy right winger Stevie Moses
(Leominster, Mass.) racked up 24 points on six goals and 18 assists
and was a +11 on the season. Mike Borisenok (Watervliet, N.Y.)
emerged as a sure-handed centerman for the 'Cats. He put up 15
points and played in all 39 games a year ago. Kevin McCarey
(Baldwinsville, N.Y.) also saw an increase in his role in 2009-10.
He played in 29 games with six points. Five players looking to make
similar step-ups during their sophomore seasons are Austin Block
(Thousand Oaks, Calif.), Greg Burke (Lee,
N.H.), John
Henrion (Holden, Mass.), Scott Pavelski (Plover, Wis.) and Dalton
Speelman (San Jose, Calif.). As a group they combined for 24
points and several memorable goals during the 2009-10 campaign.
Three freshmen looking to compete for time in Coach Umile's top
lines are Kevin Goumas
(Lake Worth, Fla.), Jeff Silengo
(Madison, Conn.) and Nick Sorkin
(Rockville, Md.). Goumas scored 41 points in 59 games a year ago
with the Indiana Ice of the USHL. Silengo registered 16 points in
55 games with the Sioux City Musketeers of the USHL, while Sorkin,
who split time with Sioux City and Waterloo of the USHL, tallied 34
points in 53 games a year ago and was one of the elite high school
hockey players in Maryland in 2008-09.
'CATS SELECTED IN THE NHL DRAFT: Four current UNH

Kessel (N.Y. Islanders) and Eric Knodel (Toronto) have all been
