We’re spoiled with this, but the NCHC could do what UND does and have a destination game each year for a team.

Weems gets extended until 2029-30. I’m on the fence with this, she hasn’t done anything that has stood out. She needed to get the officials training camp started again (don’t think they’ve done one in the last two years). Have actual former refs or an extra ref at games to be the eye in the sky and help with making decisions on replays. Add the Davis Rules, these are desperately needed. Make investments into technology to make the game/broadcast better, like in net NHL cameras at all the schools. On NCHC.tv when you do full screen with the multi box have it take up the whole screen and not just the middle (the is so irritating have to resize it on the computer). Time to get the schools to upgrade their quality of their broadcasts. I’d like to see her and the conference leadership do more and set the standard again in college hockey.

About to become the yearly announcement of Tennessee State canceling their inaugural season, again.

Got a gateway error this time. Today has been very bad.

Both Utah and Anaheim matched their offer sheets. When you think about Verbeek should be fired for being dumb and not taking the $15 million offer before the offer sheet was signed.

He also turned down WHL exceptional status which is why he didn't play a full season in the WHL last year

Canes owner Tom Dundon put his whole family on the Stanley Cup

Another Pietila, the first family of Michigan. Doesn't say he's related to the other Pietila's.

After seeing the one Twitter account that tends to post nonsense from time to time. They posted who is in the running for Joey Cullen, isn't he already going to Minnesota?

Yes and no, an advisor group did a video on it explaining how it’s going to work. Doesn’t sound like anyone has applied to have a team yet. For example there could be a Fargo Force U15 and U17 team (have to have both). SSM could apply to have a team but be denied. https://youtu.be/En_roIjQ9DA?is=ZBwbnlmLmszCDP7y

Lalas is going to be extra annoying isn’t he.

Not surprised they lost with how easy the group was and favorable draw in the round of 32 this was expected. I personally would have liked them to be is a tougher group to better prepare them for the knockout rounds. US Soccer needs to follow what USA Hockey does with NTDP. They do have MLS Next and thanks to Beckham, MLS teams have academy teams like they do in England/Europe. Use a NTDP model to build the U23 Olympic team that would feed the World Cup team. One problem US Soccer has is the best players end up in other sports, like Chad Johnson and Pat McAfee both going to the NFL.

World Cup of Hockey is there in 2028

That was a red card from all the replays I saw. FIFA is the most corrupt sport governing body in the world so wouldn't be surprised if something was said to remove the red card.

So, a new Tier 1 league called the US Development League/National Development League or NDL is starting for U15 and U17. Sounds like it will line up with the NTDP. Very interesting.
