Sioux Falls Regional - UND / Prov / QU / Merrimack
AlphaMikeFoxtrot replied to brianvf's topic in Men's Hockey
Trevor Hoskin from MC is someone who could be in the portal (again) after the season, not sure if we have space but we need upperclassmen. -
https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/48288787/inside-impact-nil-revenue-sharing-college-hockey An interesting point brought up is that players know their draft status before they start college, so their NIL expectations are aligned with that. Football and Basketball everyone thinks they'll be a first round pick if given the chance to prove themselves so they all expect the moon.

Schloss confirms Ollie is unavailable on the College Hockey Today podcast but would be good for Frozen Four. -
Assumedly the 3 week version since atmosphere is his argument.
-
Because the host isn't necessarily the number 1 seed and may not be in the tournament even.
-
You can't have a 4 team situation at home sites for the NCAA tournament for the same reason you can't for conference tournaments. Anytime the host gets beat in the first round the attendance is dismal for the second round. Going to home sites means three consecutive weeks of the tournament. The alternative is to go back to allowing bidding with campus arenas and keep the 4 regionals. But then it's #1 seed eastern school coming to the Ralph to play #3 seed UND, which is what they are really against but won't admit.

Prediction: Leo Gruba to the portal. Committed to Larson at SC, burned him, and has not adapted to the college game

She should have lost her job when she tweeted Go Gate as the Yale AD

Augie rather than mankato

It does seem lazy to go back to the same wishing well. The alumni/booster mingling and MN ethnocentrism are deterrents that their fanbase needs to be honest with themselves about; it's likely Raboin and Barr (as well as other quality candidates) weren't interested.

Sioux Falls Regional - UND / Prov / QU / Merrimack

The last few years all games and the selection show were available on ESPN+, but the selection show was not this year, and ESPN's app does not list ESPN+ as an option for UND v Merrimack. That could change, but I'm not banking on it. Thetvapp.to casting through Castify is my workaround. -
Larson was a pivotal part of Duluth's golden years and took a rapidly deteriorating institution in St. Cloud to the championship game. While not the most recognized name, he's a good choice for them (whether their fans realize it or not). Guaranteed they hire a GM too; Cullen could thrive in that role.

Young has much more to share than Emerson in terms of scouting. Former hot commodity and WI commit Nick Pierre doing well for himself at Merrimack, always good to see. -
Read my mind. I have Duluth escaping that regional

Over under on Albany attendance at 2800.

Interesting that it isn't available on ESPN+, and it looks like the games won't be either.

It's intended to be something to help sell that this is the best path to the next level. Rates compared to future earnings could be made "better" than they're get on the open market, which has a psychological effect. -

Get creative with the offerings. Subsidizing an insurance policy covering future earnings gives a sense of security and will go a long way to win over parents. -
Sioux Falls, much like Omaha, punches above its weight class for money floating around. With their hockey team being the shiny new biggest show in town, it's not hard to imagine a benefactor paying to match what Minnesota offered.
-
No mention of bringing in a D3 transfer by either of them. That should have been a CHL player.
-
I want UMass' goalie to not be in the NCAA tournament. Anyone but Cornell in ECAC as well, get some fresh blood in.
-
Hak definitely was the better coach in the 0.6 game.
-
Does Omaha claim Seeler? Boisvert finished the year with us, we should half-heartedly claim him. Hope for his sake he grows up and doesn't waste the gift he's got.
-
He was drafted by the Flames last year. 5th round
