Thompson was 2nd overall in WHL US draft. Blue chip status.

Google News knows me well enough to recommend this: https://www.stanleycupofchowder.com/2025/5/19/24426712/2k25-draft-profiles-carter-bear-is-a-tenacious-crowd-pleasing-goal-getter

Exciting games in the cities brings local attention.

Looking forward to Omaha dropping on this ranking. Also the sooner St Thomas climbs the rankings, the better for our recruiting in the cities.

Guy isn't convinced he makes it to campus. Clearly he hasn't accepted the new development pecking order.

Recently Kleven was featured on NHL.com's front page, now its Blake: https://www.nhl.com/news/jackson-blake-follows-dad-s-footsteps-to-nhl-postseason

He was a stud on the backend, won WHL Defensemen of the Year.

Will be interesting to see if they can be convinced this new route is better. The stipend is barely enough to cover a monthly visit compared to having games in the region.

Moral absolutism is for plebes. Experience life and you'll see what I mean.

You deflected rather than answer the question.

Lots of RRV kids picked in WHL US draft. Cullen, Kunz and Kraft are familiar names.

So anyone who pirates a few games from CBSSN while subscribing to NCHC.tv for the rest of the season should face consequences for their actions?

The market for products that are easily pirated shifted to a model that matched and exceeded the convenience of piracy. College hockey congregating on ESPN+ results in me no longer browsing forums that had collections of pirated links for games, for example. Netflix, Spotify and... whatever the video game equivalent is are more examples. Getting mad about piracy is blaming the end user for the deficiencies of the providers. College hockey is too niche to be disjointed.

Makes Trump's ramble about how Canada has a guy who just broke the goal record that much more embarassing.

And Jr transfer Shaugabay!

If/when UNLV announces they are moving up, there will be a conference of sorts waiting for them.

I meant blue chips getting NIL then leaving mid season. Do top players in those sports leave at semester? I truly only pay attention to hockey so if it happens I'm oblivious to it.

Seeing Charlie Coyle botch coverage just now (might cost them the series!) reminded me how he was a blue chip who bolted mid season. What happens when someone getting a bag of cash goes to MJ at the semester? The only sport that has another league as an alternative; will be interesting.

Clutch goal by Zakreski tonight. Stepped up the last few games with the team floundering.

And whatever Poolman taught him about bulking up worked!

The Serratores are national treasures. Maybe it's fatigue from a decade of "at the end of the day you gotta play a full 60" but this was really enjoyable.

Bowling Green, St Thomas and Clarkson all outrank the entire Big Ten, and all of the NCHC outside of Miami? If the barstool guy knew anything about college hockey he wouldn't have included the top 10 in his article and just screen-shotted the top 3 from the site.

Zakreski 2 goals and an assist in a losing effort tonight. Taken right after his assist. They aren't making it out of this round (down 3-0) but are on borrowed time anyways. He played well, of the 8 scored against the only time I recall he was on the ice was when the person he was replacing had a bad change leading to an odd man rush. Nothing he could do but watch, but it didn't stop him from sprinting to get into the play.

His ability to pivot on a dime was so slick, and really only emerged his last two years. He, Adams and Mismash would have undoubtedly not stuck together for 4 years in the current portal era.

Yes please
