The University of Vermont men’s hockey team is having a very difficult year to say the least. The Catamounts are 3-16-4 including an 0-12-2 record inside Hockey East play.
And head coach Kevin Sneddon has been a lightning rod for criticism this season, with several fans calling for him to lose his job. He’s not under contract beyond this season so it stands to reason that the university won’t make any decision on his future until after the season.
And Sneddon is now under fire for these comments made yesterday:
