Wonder who they bring in. Rogowski isn't quite ready, Gard is but is very much a bottom 6 type

Denver and Michigan recruit all over as well

Yes but the early bday kids don't get to choose that, hockey being a birth year sport makes sense. Holding your kid back a grade to be able to stat pad in school based sports is cheating IMHO.

I personally think it leads to misleading sports stats because you're artificially creating an environment that allows you to stat pad against younger competition. I'd rather challenge myself athletically than make it easier

Not necessarily kids who got held back (some are), but because of US History of states' rights, every school district in every state has a different cut date for their school year grouping, which makes things overly complicated. So a lot of these mid-later 2010s are naturally the oldest kids in their grade, rising sophomores in HS. I love how Canada's federal system means the school year grouping is the same for the whole country and they go by the birthyear, meaning all 2010s graduate HS in 2028, all 2011s graduate in 2029. Much simpler system, wish we did that.

2026 Top 30 Americans August 1 List from Schloss!!

I'm glad to see almost everyone get away from that and really hit Canada & Europe to a lesser extent much harder. Makes the NCAA game better

Boston College adding a very productive Dub forward, Matias Vanhanen (2026 New Jersey 2nd rounder), to their lineup for this season. Much needed scoring depth for the Eagles.

Madison's news release about him going there for 2026-27 still listed him as a Denver commit

Link that says he decommitted from Denver?

Heather has helped oversee the addition of Arizona State & St Thomas. While Arizona State has not been incredible on the ice (yet), I like their presence in the conference, feel like they already have a solid local fanbase there. St Thomas is a good addition, program on the rise, geographically makes sense. Broadcasts/TV are what I'm going to keep an eye to see if they can innovate/improve over time. Overall, I just think NCAA Hockey needs better national promotion. It is on the right track with more NHL fans (especially Canadian) eyeballs on what is going on in the NCAA with CHLers now eligible plus the overall quality of the game getting better and better.

Follows Minnesota, North Dakota, Bemidji State, Minnesota Duluth, Boston College, & St Cloud State on IG. Wonder if he's a August 1 (or shortly after) commit type of guy this year.
