I've noticed the new head coach for Alabama's club team, John Bierchen, has been tweeting hockey areas. He has tweeted pictures of the Ralph and Little Ralph, and the new Jamestown arena. He has also gone back and forth with JLG Architects.
Patrick Munson is leaving Vermont to be closer to home. Looks like he's trying to play closer to home, he's from Hugo MN.

If I were Mankato, Bemidji, Michigan Tech, or anyone else in the WCHA, I'd stay in the WCHA. Why move from where you are a contender to a conference where you would be fighting for the last home ice spot in the NCHC.
Omaha elevated Leigh Mendelson from volunteer coach to assistant coach to fill the last assistant coaching position. I'm surprised that Eades didn't take the job.
Looks like Arizona State is going to the NCHC or WCHA.
Fenton has been very quiet on this all year, so he might know something and it could be already a done deal that Arizona State is going to the NCHC. That's just my thought on where they will end up.
