Not the Goofers, good!

Was interesting to see that his hockey top 3 (per the NHL.com article) are Notre Dame, Wisconsin, and Michigan State.

Granato did the same thing too.

They've overcommitted for sure, they'll probably tell some guys to f*** off once those guys don't develop the way Ferschweiler wants. And I'd expect Western Michigan to be active in recruiting CHLers.

That's sorta already happening, but it's more in the form of the below average depth players at programs across the country being cut to make room for CHLers. Not sure how many guys are willingly leaving their school without having a couple options lined up already.

I think I'm most interested to see how quickly CHLers impact NCAA teams in 2025-26: 1. Will the 2026 National Champion have any CHLers on their roster? 2. Will a CHL mercenary like Gavin McKenna lead a team to a National Championship, or will it be someone more like Oliver Tulk (Wisconsin) or Shea Van Olm (Penn State) who stays 2-3 years and eventually leads their team to a ship?

1. Miami will start winning some NCHC games but will still be bad. 2. St Thomas will remain in the CCHA for 2025-26. 3. Tennessee State will be pretty brutal in year 1. Their projected roster from what I gathered is not good at all. They should start going hard after some culture guys in the CHL with some scoring ability (before Dennis Williams and Bowling Green gets them lol) 4. I wonder how many new D1 teams get announced in 2025-26. I will forever want Iowa and anyone in Illinois to go D1. 5. NCAA D1 teams might schedule local ACHA teams for exhibitions to save costs. 6. Yes, I see UNLV announcing within the next year. 7. Lindenwood, as has been rumored, will join the CCHA and start there in 2026-27 after St Thomas leaves.

Ryan Beck (Colorado College) to Lake Superior State

McKenna is a powerplay cheat code though

First big time domino as 2024 Calgary 3rd rounder Henry Mews commits to Michigan, lots of higher end CHL commits to follow soon.

Wonder if Lindberg would be better suited going back to junior like Laurila did, play in all situations, big minutes, develop more offensively.
