Figured it had to be HC or Bentley. Shocked at the size of HC's endowment, not that it's the best measure of a school's caliber but they can afford to up the ante in hockey. Wonder if the invite would still be extended if it weren't for their program's marquee win...

CBS Sports schedule up on sbn. BC game, Friday home v. Duluth, Friday at western and Friday v. Clown. 4 total.

Fox Sports Go is now available on Apple TV and Roku. Does anyone know if FSN broadcasts will be accessible on it? It's likely one of the two UMN games will be on there.

Nice! The person I poach my sign in from has frontier. You just saved me a few bar tabs.

Glacier ice rink's capacity is 2500. Seating on both long sides with a loft area as well. I played beer league there when I lived in Missoula. It's a great hockey community, just too remote.

University of Montana, BSU, and PSU haven't shown any interest. Technically all three have arenas they can use but teams starting out west need deep pockets to fly everywhere to start, hence why it's Pac-12 schools.

Any word on if CBS Sports' app will pick up CBSSN NCHC games? Or when that schedule is released, for that matter?

Thanks for sharing. Would love for them to join. Plenty of folks in Seattle who could write a check and get it going.

100% for that plan. Other than OSU and MSU I'm all for more games against big ten opponents. Penn state succeeding is a good thing as they are seen as a litmus test for expansion. Also potential for more nationally broadcast games. It would only be temporary.

Miami and western have to like this idea. Nchc should make a power move and do it on their terms.

GCU is a for profit school. They can stay the hel! away from D1 hockey.

MN only has success recruiting the young future draft picks. They never have Cagguila or Stetcher types that come in unheralded and leave with a pro contract. The only example I can think of is Haula and he was at least a late round pick. That won't cut it these days. They take recruiting for granted, maybe due to an ethnocentric bias. They are going to be the most harmed by Wisconsin's recruiting resurgence too. Madtown > Dinkytown

Anyone have a promo code for nchc.tv? Price went up to $95 this year for the early bird deal expiring Aug 31st. I think it's a $5 discount.

St. Paul = Shelbyville. "Maybe that's why we beat them in football nearly half the time!"

Dude, you misinterpreted his statement. It's okay, you're among friends.

4 out of top 5 in one conference. I can see 5 in the tournament.

BU was garbage in 13-14 but came back strong the next year. All it took was one player. MN is the same caliber of program that can turn it around that fast. They actually hit the fish in the barrel a few times for their future recruiting classes and while none of them will be Eichel, they won't be a cakewalk. Regardless of opinions, I love seeing the passion back on our end. Here's to hoping their fans reciprocate.

Have you read the hockey broadcast threads? We can watch almost every game (maybe miss one or two OOC series) at the click of a button on any sort of device and people still complain.

Agreed, and I don't like basketball. Should be required viewing for high school sociology. Currently on Netflix.

This is a satire of the scene in Hoop Dreams when the coaches are saying they have to start recruiting younger and younger. Art imitates life.

Halloween weekend. Looking forward to seeing some hostile and abusive costumes in the crowd.

If he's staying at the school it's likely he can afford to be there either way and wasn't ready for the student athlete lifestyle. Happens often in other college sports (less so in D-1) with higher socio-economic background students. He will be the MAN in intramurals! That said it's too bad CC is struggling. Feels like them beating us in the last Final Five semis was a generation ago.

Dilks' blast on UND fans complaining about the logo being simple and boring was pretty hilarious, to his credit.

U of AZ might not be that far behind either. I think Pac 12 hockey starts earlier than we expect. Stanford will come out of nowhere, and Scott McNealy will be a part of it.
