Can someone with an Athletic subscription sum up the Perron info from the article Brad shared? Blue chip out of Winnipeg, more of those, por favor.

Augustana adding hockey was perceived as a way into the Summit League from day 1. Summit/MAC hockey shouldn't catch anyone off guard, and might get Buffalo and some other schools to explore it.

Seeing that McMorrow chose Denver over UND and UMD is rough. Coffee is for closers, 2 is not a winner, etc.

The instgram follows is an interesting way to gauge a prospect's top x list. For example, Aidan Park was mentioned, but as an Asian kid from LA, Harvard and Michigan were safe assumptions as his top two. Sure enough, he follows Harvard, then later followed ND, WI, MI, BU and DU.

Lucia's insistence on cooling off the rivalry is partly to blame. Having games there on the schedule is a big deal. Heck, let's go beat up on St. Thomas after they open their new rink.

The cities are bountiful; bound to happen. Moorhead/Section 8 would sting.

Here's what I'm using ,

I'm passively watching on mute. Why was that a five?

In the next few years we gotta expect the whole thing to be on ESPN+. This specific one is a huge missed opportunity to have content when there's nothing else to watch.

Hopefully the likelihood of being drafted by the Senators doesn't scare him off...

Anyone with a link?

Beckett Hendrickson to the Gophers. No surprise

Poaching season opens today!

Welp. Good call @AJS

Michigan should (but won't) receive a one season post-season ban from the NCAA for the lying about contact tracing. Could have derailed an entire regional.

Maybe we can poach him when they want him to develop for another year in juniors...

That's definitely a good thing. Visit GF in August rather than January!

It's all good, it's just odd seeing someone with 0.5 ppg in HS hockey committing alongside all the NTDP kids today.

Looking over the commits today, two thoughts. Both Michigan State and Notre Dame got commits from kids who grew up together, it's possible they were packages. Also, both the Gopher and Badger commit are coast kids who moved to MN as a teen. With the rise in telecommuting that is easier to do now and much less travel-intensive than AAA. EDIT: one more observation, a fraction of as many total commits as last year on 8/1. Here's a list:

It was tongue in cheek, the commit doesn't seem like someone who would be fending off suitors. But maybe Rico found a diamond in the rough, who knows.

St Thomas having a commit today before we do is an ominous sign for the future.

Who specifically did we beat Michigan and BC/BU for? Genuinely curious.

A new chant like "U - N - D" or "North Da-Ko-Ta" would help.

A Quebecois with a qmjhl jersey on in his profile pic? Let the Boston schools try to keep him honoring his commitment.
