Wisconsin is #1 in the pairwise. Wonder how long until Hastings is an NHL coach.

His advisors failed him. His NHL legacy is written before he signs his entry level contract.

Were Emerson and Perron linemates in Chicago?

Props to WMU doing a home and away series with a nascent program.

Brutal shift for Benoit

Alaska is clogging the slot, dump it in the corner instead.

Massive jersey foul on princeton.

Perron belongs in top 6 over Johannes. Oh well, hopefully he can expose some mismatches.

Slipec isn't making it to campus if he doesn't find his game. 1 point in his last 10. Maybe needs to bounce back to the BCHL.

Hahaha came here to post something to the same affect.

Omaha doesn't need to be our only farm team.

Unofficial Israels recruiting trip this weekend. Sounds like a solid captain.

Anyone familiar with Ryder McDonald? GF native, leads Shattuck 18AAA in scoring as a 17 year old. Potulny's kid did the same last year. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/804132/ryder-mcdonald

USCHO podcast mentioned a Palm Springs college hockey tournament to be announced soon.

I'll take them over Manitoba. Have an exhibition between Mary and Jamestown that same weekend. North Dakota is an affordable place for people to play an expensive sport, this would a great opportunity to grow the game across the state.

Hopefully we get Minot State on the calendar at some point.

Watched from the PP goal to the end of the first, and we looked good. My understanding is this year's iteration of the ntdp is having success against college teams. Need to be ready on Friday for a team that is already in playoff mode; Alaska needs at least 1 win this weekend to have even a chance at making the tournament.

A few more good vacation spots with viable arenas: Charlotte, Jacksonville, suburban Atlanta (based on this being Cedar Park, it's not far fetched). It'll be interesting to see if it lines up with a Texas football game in Austin. All of these places have that same possibility with NFL games.

San Diego has a nearly 13k arena close to the airport and relatively close to Hotel del Coronado, which is a bucket list hotel. Hopefully this sells out quickly and demonstrates that the sweet spot is a little larger than they are aiming for here. Palm Springs has a nice new arena as well with 10k seats. They also just opened the first surf park in the western US. Florida is littered with arenas in the size range too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_indoor_arenas_in_the_United_States

It does, but the last two at NHL arenas didn't sell out. Trying to recreate the magic at Orleans, but this ain't it. Hopefully they run shuttles from wherever the alumni gathering is (likely in the downtown/capital/campus area) to the venue.

Apparently Austin is the front runner for the next destination game, at their rink way out in the suburbs. Hopefully not at the same time as ACL Festival.

So cheating/plagiarism? Hilarious timing if it's the latter. Please leave it at that, everybody.

Charlie Burggraf steps down from his PWHL head coach role before it even starts. Had him as a youth sports coach (not hockey); great guy and easily the best coach I ever played for. He possessed great perspective and taught me some lessons outside of athletics.

An adult I knew growing up was a former D1 basketball player at a "Hidden Ivy" known more for academics than athletics. Even in the 70's it was clear sports comes first for student-athletes; he was told to attend every class and sit in the front row, and he'd never get less than a C. It's a different world now, but it's hard to imagine that rule of thumb no longer applying.
