Hastings signs a 8 year contract with Mankato. Shane Frederick @puckato MSU is announcing new 8-year contract with Mike Hastings, unveiled on scoreboard rendering. Shane Frederick @puckato According to MSU athletic director Kevin Buisman, Hastings' contract is worth $290K annually. I still think Hasting will try to get the Omaha job when Blais retires.

Three schools are interested in Casey DeSmith, one is Wisconsin. Jeff Cox ‏@JeffCoxSports 12m12 minutes ago Re: DeSmith, 3 schools allegedly interested in former UNH netminder. He is awaiting potential waver from NCAA to be able to play right away. I could see UND looking at him.

A nice story on Northern Arizona's D1 hockey program. If it wasn't for faulty piping they probably still be a D1 team today. http://azdailysun.com/print-specific/feature/hockey-a-former-tradition-at-northern-arizona/article_20a9f3d2-1192-57cd-b9d3-d3a0a8b3d7db.html

England beats Germany for the first time ever 1-0 on a penalty kick. Has to be the worst ref'd game I've ever seen. I guess the ref was pissed she didn't get the title game so decided to not really ref the third place game.

I think he's 15, If the four schools listed are after him, UND is going to be after him. I think we'll find out where he goes early next season. Bowers is the one I'm more interested in UND landing.

Over The Boards ‏@OTBPuckWatch 59s59 seconds ago Pursuit of '00 Oliver Wahlstrom heating up, numerous sources citing different schools; MN, MI, BU, BC all said to be realistic landing spots

He still could end up being Philly's AHL Head Coach (I haven't heard if the position was filled yet), since it sounds like they want a coach that can develop the young talent for the Flyers. There is also the potential for three B1G head coaching positions to open up next year (Michigan, Michigan State, and Wisconsin). I'm getting the feeling for Badger fans on other message boards that Berry Alvarez, the guy who wanted the B1G Hockey conference, doesn't really care about the men's hockey program or isn't showing that he cares.

Martin St. Louis retiring after 16 seasons.

Looks like he is going to explore his options. I'm sure UND is looking at him.

St. Louis makes some questionable moves every year, example Halak for Miller. I would have kept Oshie and traded Backes to someone.

Oliver Wahlstrom has de-committed from Maine. Not sure on what his next move will be. Mark Divver ‏@MarkDivver 2h2 hours ago Oliver Wahlstrom no longer committed to @MaineIceHockey , per sources. One of top 2000-born U.S. players. Big-time potential.

Over The Boards ‏@OTBPuckWatch 2m2 minutes ago Word is that 4th overall QMJHL draft pick, 6'0 uncommitted Nova Scotian C Shane Bowers is reporting to Waterloo's camp. 3rd rd @USHL pick

Japan bets England after a own goal in stoppage time 2-1 The final will be a rematch of the last Woman's World Cup. After watching the England - Japan game, the US Woman's team looks way better then both of the teams.

That player on England must be a member of the Minnesota's men's hockey team, because that was a huge dive to get the penalty kick. Japan 1 England 1 Goals have been penalty kicks.

I don't think he'll end up there.
