WBL native, NTDP alum and former Badger Jake Martin is playing juniors, worth keeping an eye on.

Who knows if he even would have made it to campus if he hadn't decommitted. Could have would up like Mitchell Mattson, getting his offer pulled for not performing in Juniors. Now Donovan serves as another cautionary tale for anyone trying to jump from MN HS to D1.

Only team Moorhead native Sam Laurila follows is Tech...although he also follows NCHC, Frisch, Kleven and Sanderson. We undoubtedly are on him.

Makes me miss Lucia.

Chose UND over Michigan and Duluth.

In theory yes, not sure how it applies to partial scholarship or walk-on.

We need to be compensating hockey players at the very minimum on par with CHL stipends. I'm still convinced Gerlach bolting for MJ cost us a tournament appearance.

Any details, links, etc.?

Jost left a year early to get paid, with NIL he could have stayed. Hockey players are generally not from poor families, but not everyone is the son of an NHLer or banker. The anecdotes about Kristo and Forbort sharing an 80's minivan were amusing, but considering what they could have been making from NIL shouldn't happen again.

Are there any whispers of one starting? McFeely did his part to kick the tires for the JV football dynasty, maybe Brad could do the same? While hockey is different from football, it'd be pretty frustrating to find out we missed on a targeted recruit because they got a nice NIL deal elsewhere.

They just aren't particularly interesting or varied in their escapades. They have good flow and banter, which is good for passive listening.

Has Beens w/ Boeser was a good listen. Decommiting from WI partly because they didn't give Sheehy or Jack Achan a look is interesting since they got Roman. Also knowing TTD was integral to sealing the deal for him shows it's worth the cost and then some. If either of the hosts reads this, please put a timestamp link in the episode description for the interview start time. Most listeners aren't tuning in to hear what you do with your weekends.

Thank you! With Fantilli in Ann Arbor it'll be his time to shine for the Steel.

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?
