Vast, vast majority of people getting let go don't get COBRA subsidized at all, so his "only one month of coverage" wasn't the revelation he thought it was.

Who is Hennen and what is his beef?

Now people are transferring their kids for 8th grade in order to repeat it. All parent driven, nobody actually wants that stigma for themselves.

Obviously some tongue in cheek there, but it sounds like it's all privately donated. Could it be Kris? Thank you to whoever it was, and keep it coming!

Berry back in the game after collecting his buyout. Could he eventually take another gig in college?

They were good for a decade there, won the Ivy championship 7 out of 10 years and made the tournament 6 out of 8. Yale is better in sports where there's little or no pro opportunity afterwards so the degree itself is the money maker. Maybe they don't get the leeway on athletic admissions that other top schools seem to have.

CHL is more and more attractive than the NTDP. Of all the prognosticating after the new eligibility for MJ, this was not a frequent expectation. https://spartanswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/spartans/hockey/2026/07/13/michigan-state-hockey-commit-declines-ntdp-invite-staying-in-whl/90909688007/

NCHC on ESPN+ would also mean on TSN+. That better be the next move

Simpson's going to be top 6. Menghini and Zakreski will probably be fighting one another for a spot. Same with Boser and Gar. Lindberg (get used to seeing that on a jersey!). Team is deep.

3 and 5 are you know who https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/2026-27-nhl-prospect-pool-breakdown-boston-bruins-top-10-strengths-weakness-hagens-letourneau-zellers

https://coloradohockeynow.com/avalanche-add-ahl-veteran-blueliner-to-organization/ Wolanin was really fun to watch his final year, would have expected more than 86 NHL games since then.

Simpson has to be a preseason NCHC all rookie team pick. D will be harder to crack the rookie team but Simpson, MacKenzie and Carels should all be demonstrably impactful by Thanksgiving if not immediately. Turned on flight tracking to DC for April!

https://thehockeynews.com/news/latest-news/three-winners-and-losers-of-the-2026-nhl-draft-sharks-win-big-american-prospects-fall Don't bother with Pittsburgh Post Gazette's coverage of the Rucks. If I didn't know better I'd assume they don't have any college hockey locally.

Dayne Beuker not picked. Ouch

At least one transfers out. Maybe the Flames steer Hextall to GF...
