Oklahoma State partnering with CCM for equipment. Nothing more than that.

The stakeholders need to take the initiative along with College Hockey Inc. (funded by the NHL) and advertise from December to the national title game, the NCAA tournament during every NHL game. Why this has not been done is alarming and would grow the game. Last year they had people online saying they had no idea the regional was in Albany until they saw it on tv. No billboards or advertisements in Albany for the games. The stakeholders need to tell ESPN that you only have Sean Ritchlin that is good on the tv broadcasts. Bring in guys that call NCAA hockey all season because they are million times better then Bucci, Colby, and the others they put on tv. I'd rather hear the game from people that know what is going on than hearing (insert players name) was the MOP of last year's Frozen Four for the 40th time in the first period.

I agree, there are fans out there that are happy about the extension. I'd like to see something from the league that makes the brand and product better and the standard.

You know Verbeek is going to offer sheet Martone when he gets a chance

We’re spoiled with this, but the NCHC could do what UND does and have a destination game each year for a team.

Weems gets extended until 2029-30. I’m on the fence with this, she hasn’t done anything that has stood out. She needs to get the officials training camp started again (don’t think they’ve done one in the last two years). Have actual former refs or an extra ref at games to be the eye in the sky and help with making decisions on replays. Add the Davis Rules, these are desperately needed. Make investments into technology to make the game/broadcast better, like in net NHL cameras at all the schools. On NCHC.tv when you do full screen with the multi box have it take up the whole screen and not just the middle (the is so irritating have to resize it on the computer). Time to get the schools to upgrade their quality of their broadcasts. I’d like to see her and the conference leadership do more and set the standard again in college hockey.

About to become the yearly announcement of Tennessee State canceling their inaugural season, again.

Got a gateway error this time. Today has been very bad.

Both Utah and Anaheim matched their offer sheets. When you think about Verbeek should be fired for being dumb and not taking the $15 million offer before the offer sheet was signed.

He also turned down WHL exceptional status which is why he didn't play a full season in the WHL last year

Canes owner Tom Dundon put his whole family on the Stanley Cup

Another Pietila, the first family of Michigan. Doesn't say he's related to the other Pietila's.

After seeing the one Twitter account that tends to post nonsense from time to time. They posted who is in the running for Joey Cullen, isn't he already going to Minnesota?

Yes and no, an advisor group did a video on it explaining how it’s going to work. Doesn’t sound like anyone has applied to have a team yet. For example there could be a Fargo Force U15 and U17 team (have to have both). SSM could apply to have a team but be denied. https://youtu.be/En_roIjQ9DA?is=ZBwbnlmLmszCDP7y
