Butler was named Hockey East Player of the Month for November. He
becomes the first Wildcat to earn this honor since Mike Sislo did
so in December, 2008. Butler registered a point in all seven games
in the month and scored a goal in all but one game, racking up 13
points on eight goals and five assists. Butler, who is tied as the
nation’s top goal scorer, had four multi-point games and two
multi-goal efforts in the month. The only game Butler did not score
a goal in the month was when he handed out a career-high three
assists factoring in all three goals in a 3-3 tie at Boston
University (11/21). He skated a +7 and scored twice on the power
play, once short-handed and netted the game-winning goal against
UMass (11/14) and the game-tying goal against Boston College
(11/6). Overall, the senior captain led the ‘Cats to a 3-2-2
mark and averaged 1.14 goals per game and 1.86 points per game in
the month.

period and 6-0-0 when leading after two periods.

THE DICK UMILE ERA: Dick Umile, a five-time Hockey East
Coach of the Year, enters his 20th season as the head coach of the
UNH Wildcats. He earned his fourth Leonard Fowle New England Coach
of the Year award following the 2007-08 season. 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, 15
NCAA tournament appearances and 19 Hockey East championship
tournament showings in his 19-year career in Durham. In
addition, Umile has posted 17 20-victory campaigns over the span of
19 seasons, including a current streak of 13 20-win seasons. Umile
is now the winningest coach in the history of UNH hockey with 444
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 fourth among active NCAA coaches
with a .652 winning percentage and on the active victories list his
444 victories ranks eighth among NCAA coaches. He has been named
Coach of the Year a total of 10 times in his career, including New
England honors four times. Umile’s five Hockey East Coach of
the Year Awards is an all-time league best.Last season, Umile
directed the Wildcats to a 20-13-5 mark as they captured their
eighth-consecutive trip to the NCAA tournament. Umile guided the
Wildcats to 20+ wins in 13 straight years, the second longest
streak in the nation and five seasons more than its closest
competition; no other team in Hockey East has an active streak
longer than one season. After struggling through a 1-5-2 stretch in
November, New Hampshire went 14-4-2 to close out the regular season
and claimed third place in the league and home-ice in the Hockey
East quarterfinals for a Hockey East-best 13th straight season. The
crowning moment of the 2008-09 season was the Wildcats’ goal
with 0.1 seconds remaining to tie and eventually win 6-5 in
overtime in their NCAA Northeast Regional opening-round game
against perennial power North Dakota in front of UNH faithful at
Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester.
DICK UMILE INDUCTED INTO NEW HAMPSHIRE LEGENDS OF HOCKEY:
Head Coach Dick Umile was among a group of seven Hall of Fame
inductees for the New Hampshire Legends of Hockey for 2009. In
addition, former Wildcat assistant coach and longtime voice of the
team Bob Norton will also be inducted. The ceremony was held
on 10/11 at C.R. Sparks in Bedford, N.H.
THE PROGRAM’S HISTORY: UNH has appeared in
the NCAA Tournament 19 times in the 82-year history of the program,
including the nation’s second best streak at eight-straight
appearances. UNH has appeared in the Frozen Four seven times,
including national championship game appearances against Maine in
1999 and Minnesota in 2003. UNH earned Hockey East Tournament
titles in 2002 and 2003 and regular-season championships in 1997,
1999, 2002, 2003, 2007 and 2008. The Wildcats won the ECAC

UNH HOCKEY ON THE RADIO: In the summer of 1999, the
University of New Hampshire Athletic Department formed the
“UNH Sports Network” — the largest network ever
to broadcast UNH sporting events.
Wildcats Sports Properties has added WGIN-AM
930 (Rochester) and WQSO-FM 96.7 (Portsmouth) as flagship stations
on the Wildcat Sports Network, joining WGIR-AM 610 (Manchester),
which was added in 2008. All three stations are part of the Clear
Channel family and this change will go into effect at the beginning
of the 2009-10 season.
These three aforementioned stations -- along
with WUVR-AM 1490 (Lebanon), WNTK-FM 99.7 (New London) and WCNL-AM
1010 (Newport) -- will carry the following: all UNH football &
men’s hockey broadcasts and weekly coaches’ shows, a
select number of men’s basketball, women’s basketball,
and women’s hockey broadcasts, as well as “Wildcat
Sports Today”, a three-minute daily update concerning UNH
athletics.
The game can also be heard on the internet at
www.UNHWildcats.com through a service from Stretch Internet.
Stretch has also partnered with UNH to develop a podcast page for
UNH fans to listen to archived broadcasts.
Dan Parkhurst will be handling the play-by-play
for the third straight season, while Pete Webster will once again
be doing the color commentating. Webster has been announcing
Wildcat hockey for 16 years since the 1993-94 season.
