What is definition of and who is doing the tampering is probably a fair question. Player talks to his advisior and says I think I would be interested in entering the portal if I knew a certain team or teams was interested in me. Advisor makes a few calls to find out if their is mutual interest and reports back to his "client". Coaches did not initiate contact with player who is not in the portal and simply answered phone call from a Family Advisor(future agent) who he has probably dealt several times over the years....not tampering? Coach gets a call from an advisor who has a client in the portal to gauge if they have interest and if it would be a good fit and Coach inquires about another player that he knows the Advisor works with who isn't currently in the portal...Tampering?

I would be shocked if they don't have skating instructors come in once or twice a year and have all the training, drills and video instruction that go with it and several players also may do it on their own over the summer as well.

True. I think the process of a player entering the portal and calling around or having his advisor(assuming he has one) make some calls to find a new home or better fit is pretty standard even if done in reverse where a player reaches out to his advisor and has him check the temperature ahead of his entering the portal so a player has destination ahead of entering the portal technically. I am guessing the accusations come in where some feel that schools are reaching out to an advisor and inquiring as to whether a player would be interested in entering the portal or having players reach out to their former USHL or other Junior league teammates which some players could potentially do on their own. "Hey coach I was texting with my old buddy and linemate X and he said he was thinking about entering the portal but there are really only 1 or 2 places he would want to go and doesn't want to enter the portal unless he can land at one of those schools and feels if he enters the portal he is pretty much committed to leaving...what do you think he should do?" I am guessing that many of these guys who have played on travel teams and in juniors with 100's of different players have pretty extensive contact lists touching most of the college teams in the country on their phones and could easily conquer 6 degrees of should I enter the portal?

Correct. Question for the rest. If you want the NCHC under the Summit Banner and St. Thomas moves all their programs besides Football and Hockey to the Big East do you still want them as an affiliate member of the Summit?

Arizona State was 9 spots behind CC and 5 spots ahead of Miami last season.

UND and Denver are not going to want to water down the hockey conference they are in. WMU and Miami are not going to move to the Summit and ASU certainly would not. Add nothing to the Summit. CC, SCSU, and UMD are all staying in conference. Add nothing to The Summit. Why would it?

Not gonna happen

I don't think WMU for sure and Miami at least previously wanted to be in a conference with a bunch of division 2 schools and UND and Denver didn't want to be in a conference with a bunch of division 2 schools either and UNO obviously made it known that Hockey is the primary sport on their campus, St. Cloud had to beg and convince the other members they would be committed to hockey financially(and they have been true to their word) when the league could not come to an agreement with Notre Dame to be the 8th team. I remember seeing Motzko and Gasparini together in Grand Forks a couple of times(once at the Pepper) and if I remember correctly I think Gino lobbied on their behalf.

Leave the Summit out of it. Has Miami stated they want to leave or is that speculation? Add Arizona State. I know Bowling Green wanted in a few years back, not sure if that still holds true. If Miami left and Arizona State is added that would be alright. If Miami stays and Arizona State is added and they wanted a 10th I would say Bowling Green, Air Force, and St. Thomas would be best additions. Have to be a little careful with St. Thomas if the league is under The Summit flag as there is quite a bit of talk in the cities of St. Thomas moving most of their Athletic programs to The Big East at some time in the future.

No idea.

No. She ran skating camps. UND and other schools would bring her in to improve skating skills. Several NHL players also worked with her over the summer.

There isn't a coach in America who has been at a school for more than 3 or 4 years whether it is in Football, basketball, Hockey, Baseball, or virtually any collegiate sport who does not talk about the Culture of their program.

I believe I have 38 as well....unless I received a game misconduct and suspension....have not heard from Toronto?

In watching our team play last year with regard to TEAM defense I would put our defense 3rd in the pecking order as far the problems we had early in the season behind leaky goaltending and several forwards playing 2 facets of the game, offense and waiting to be on offense.

Don't remind me.

I am going to assume Trent had a conversation with the coaching staff and I would speculate that they believe Ihenacho will receive a waiver from the NCAA.

And the Student Body can get downtown at a reasonable time!

The irony is that if they did form separate leagues they would have to separate the trans women leagues from the trans girls leagues due to the unfair advantages the trans women would have.

While Geno's hairline is looking a little rough he has been doing real well playing in England as he was the league MVP in 21 and 22 and led his team to the Title in 2022. He signed with a team and is currently playing in Germany this season.

I suggested a couple years ago that the NCHC should have added Arizona State and Bowling Green. I do not think any additional teams whose schools are not d1 across the board should be added for various reasons.

I know there is a more in depth website that breaks down stats further than the typical box scores. I believe it takes a subscription for the service. I know Schloss has it and has referenced it a few times.

This^^^^ The O'Bannon lawsuit that led to all this was about the "athlete" being able to use their name, image, and likeness or be compensated for the use of(i.e. video games). That is what is should be. The NCAA needs to set a couple of guideleines and schools should set some limits on how and when school logos/name can and can't be used by the athlete.....and from that point on it should be up to the athlete to put together any branding of their name and negotiate compensation.

I don't know if I agree in total about Eaglestaff. I think his game was forced to evolve a bit since in college he is shooting against bigger players and they probably close out on the shooter quicker than he was used to in High School and even AAU. I know his senior year in high school almost half(276 of 567) of his shots came from beyond the 3 point line. I think as he gets stronger and quicker he may be able get his shot up a little quicker, develop a little more consistent range, and create space a little easier and hopefully also be able to finish stronger through contact at the rim. We might be saying the same thing differently but I think he looks for the 3 first and foremost.
