It'd be fantastic if all NCAA hockey leagues just agreed to not allow former pros, regardless of what the NCAA "allows".

Some tidbits from Schloss' latest podcast posted today: early practice standouts on D: Verhoeff, MacKenzie, Laurila Verhoeff showing more skill offensively...MacKenzie excellent skating...Laurila taking another step early practice standouts on F: Reschny, Zellers, Swanson all three taking another step from last year...Swanson looks like he'll be ready for start of season after his surgery Malinoski scoring on his chances...none of the three transfer F are "flashy", but all three are hard workers that will fill roles in the lineup Davis will be a fan favorite with his hustle and work ethic went thru some UND recruit targets...lot of Canada Hlinka guys that we have already mentioned in the prospective thread Schloss sees 15-20 teams that could be excellent teams this year, which is crazy since at least 5 of those would miss the tourney...should be some good hockey!

I’m really hoping that they put an end to this. No more pro athletes in NCAA. Seems simple enough.

Ruck's pick up right where they left off last season...still just pre-season though. Liam with a hattrick and Markus with 1g/2a in a 5-3 win for MH.

Landon playing on wing with his bros to start the preseason for the MH Tigers. He's usually a dman, so not sure if this is just to have them play all together or if he's making the change. Marto centering the 2nd line.

Updated! Playing with fellow UND commit Jundt.

Can't wait for that first puck drop!

I can see it now. Markus and Liam stick around until their JR/SR seasons so that they can play with Landon at UND.

Almost time to start memorizing new numbers and faces!

Already!!

A forward recruiting group of Ruck, Ruck, Fitzhenry, Sanderson, Williams...and England would be absolutely insane. Would love to see it.
