Illinois will have a D-1 team announced by the end of the decade. B1G doesn't need us. We're fine in the NDHC.

Maryland's fate is like Oregon, all it takes is Under Armour (or in the Ducks' case, Nike) wanting a team and it'll happen. Does UA own a hockey brand a la Nike/Bauer or Adidas/Reebok? Some East coast college hockey teams have UA jerseys. BC is the only one I can think of.

Both are schools that should explore the possibility, since they serve major metros that support hockey but don't have a nearby college team. But Maryland and Penn are more likely candidates in each metro.

Or "Dakota"

If I recall correctly Pac 12 network aired the series Air Force played against ASU last year. They could have an eye on being a founding member of Pac 12 hockey conference.

Agreed about the secondary market. Back in the WCHA days, someone I knew with student tickets was able to pay for their season by selling a single Gopher game. He wasn't being a shrewd micro-economist either, it's what he was offered.

Looking at rosters for who will likely play at the Wild and Moose exhibitions, Poolman should get a nice applause. More importantly, quite a few rostered players should get showered with boos, including Brendan Lemieux and Mario Lucia. Let's hope they wind up as starters.

Haha, touché

This begs the question: These days, is it more satisfying to poach from the cities, or Duluth?

As pointed out Frattin's team is based in China. There are other KHL teams not based in Russia; Genoway's team last year, Jokerit, is based in Finland. You may have seen when he did this:

Best of luck to Frattin. Playing in China he has a chance to be an ambassador for the game. Between the NHL and the local gov't there are a lot of resources being pumped in to hockey in China. I still remember his classy and non-chalant celebrations. The sign of a true goal scorer.

That's gotta be an auto correct mistake. Haha

Other big name schools in the same metro areas as NHL teams with at least decent fan bases include Vanderbilt, Georgetown, USC, U Penn.

Pitt is out of left field. What's next, Duke?

Poehling was part of a package deal with siblings. Cholowski was one and done, and he will always be the guy that Gornall burned on the way to a game winner. His quick departure will likely reflect poorly on Clown, regardless of whether or not it is warranted. Sucks they got Borgen before us, hopefully the lesson was learned.

Name someone who decided on Clown while holding an offer from UND. It does seem like the team didn't get the recruiting boosts other recent champs have had, although it may be other teams' recruiting gets more attention after a championship.

Announcement coming this evening that 5 schools will receive funding to conduct feasibility study to add D1 hockey. U of Illinois confirmed...what are the other 4? Speculation time. USC Colorado Stanford Alabama UNLV Rutgers Iowa/Iowa State Nebraska Who else?

Sounds like an online school issue a la Colten St. Clair.

Thanks

Link? Or name of Twitter user?

The longer he stays uncommitted the better our shot at landing him if he's at Penticton, assuming he is set on the college route.

Maybe Guentzel wants to play at home after he wins a Cup with the Penguins.

Hopefully they address the delay. 5 minutes behind on the Roku app. If it's like that on the android/ios app there's no reason to use that over the website. Chromecast from the website was only a minute or two delayed.

Wilkie's brother isn't expected at CC until Fall 2019 so unless he is brought in early they only get one season together. Too bad he can't grad transfer into CC since its an undergrad only school.
