On his most recent podcast, Schloss mentioned that Komzak was one player that surprised him with how good he looked in early practice sessions.

I like this. A lot. I would only swap Schmaltz and OMac. I think Owen is set for a big year.

Definitely no regurts.

I'm just hoping that we can beat them in our series with them in late October.

Bowen is such a weird situation. He was so highly touted when he committed.

Got flooded out of town. sorry, too soon

Congrats to Strathmann...he is poised for a big USHL season.

Perron mic'd up at the Canes camp:

Good representation for future college hockey players there too. Would be pretty impressive for NCAA hockey to get the #1 and #2 draft picks next year, even if one is headed to the Goofers.

Yeah, my guess either first place gets a bye or last place gets left out. The logistics of putting together and squeezing in an 8/9 play-in game the week between regular season ending and playoffs beginning doesn't sound plausible.

Yeah, DU and WMU could for sure have an "easier" path to the conference title with their pod alignment. First place team gets a first round bye?
