There are quality ex CHLers littered throughout USports. Cole Huckins (2021 Calgary 3rd rounder) just completed his freshman year at University of New Brunswick, 3 years left of university eligiblity. Josh Pillar (2021 Minnesota 5th rounder), just completed his sophomore year at University of Saskatchewan, 2 years left of university eligibility.

Gophers not making any CHL splashes yet.

Quote

The Gophers' top rival, North Dakota, has even been busy in the CHL talent pool, adding two potential first-round NHL Draft picks last week.

 That might anger some of the MN faithful that like to claim that we're not their biggest rival.

They will have to wait until the Minnesota kids head to Canada for juniors so they can keep their all Minnesota born team.

LSSU now has a GM

LSSU names Eric Soltys as GM

I heard he was in the running. Squeaked it out by a neck.

He stuck his neck out there and got the job.

Former NAHL GM. Every Juniors GM in North America owes Chyzyk a meal/drink for improving their career prospects overnight.

[brianvf]

That's a lot of new players in one season. 

 

[nascar99]

Don't know if Jake Stuart was ever going to Denver this fall, but deferring him leaves a 2025-26 roster spot open for the Pioneers. Might already be filled by Epperson.

For his point to grow the game to get on ABC. Advertise the frozen Four and regionals during NHL games from January until the Frozen Four. Advertise through social media and hockey podcasts. College Hockey Inc. needs to do more in this area then they currently do.

Wodon needing to "explain himself" after the interview was a good indicator of who won the debate.

ABC is a pipe dream for that time of year on a Saturday night. They already have to shape it around avoiding NCAA BBall.

Meh, its ok to still like the guy on a higher level. I loved watching Gwoz out there too and he was a rival. Between the dasher dance and walking across the ice at the Ralph, he took and already solid rivalry and somehow made it even more fun and entertaining.

Didn’t Carle do this once before? Wodon just a glutton for getting his ass handed to him repeatedly on this topic?

[brianvf]

Miami hires a GM now too.
Bryn setting the example.  These other guys have a lot of work to do to catch up to Bryn though.

He did.  I think it was even on Wodon's show on CHN.  Wodon just had no answers.  After the interview, and after he had some time to think about it before he finished up the podcast, Wodon came up with some half-hearted arguments, but even then you could tell he knew he'd been pounded.
