Would assume hockey fights against it &/or gets an exception due to junior hockey existing. Teams don’t want to bring in 18 & 19 years who are woefully underprepared for NCAA Hockey. Also proposing a 5 year eligibility though. So you can still be a 20 year old freshman , play four years and be a 23 yr old senior. Quote
TwamleyShuffle Posted yesterday at 01:55 AM Posted yesterday at 01:55 AM Max Plante wins the Hobey Baker Award. He should celebrate by signing a nhl contract Quote
brianvf Posted yesterday at 01:56 AM Posted yesterday at 01:56 AM Plante wins the Hobey, and seems like signs are leaning toward him coming back for a JR year at UMD (as expected) to play with his two bros. UMD could be very good next season 1 Quote

cberkas Posted yesterday at 02:45 AM Author Posted yesterday at 02:45 AM Plante is returning to Duluth to play with his brothers If Duluth won National Titles like they win Hobey's they'd have 10 or 11 titles by now 1 Quote

Yeah, I think every NCAA team will be able to get some good CHLers moving forward...there certainly are enough of them. I just meant that I don't see any CHL first rounders (or many 1st/2nd rounders in general) going there when there are so many other schools with better facilities and NIL opportunities. Unless there's a ton more Duluth/Superior/Hermantown/Proctor studs coming up the pipe that have dreamed of being a Bulldog forever. Quote

They will have to recruit Canadians and other non Minnesotans more aggressively Quote
cberkas Posted 13 hours ago Author Posted 13 hours ago It's that time of the year and Minnesota fans don't get it. If Minnesota and Wisconsin were still in the WCHA If go for them over teams, but the B1G has single handily killed college sports. You can blame the SEC too, but at least their teams are in the same region for the most part. Where you have PAC 12 team leaving for the B1G. Also, I'd go for Minnesota over all teams not trying to win their first title and not in the WCHA. Minnesota was the last WCHA team I'd root for to win a title. 2 Quote

There are very few teams UND fans will root for Denver to beat, they just so happened to be playing one of them. Simple as that. If it's DU vs. Providence, suddenly it's a home game for the Friars 2 Quote

Once you act like a whinner (Leaman and Rand, good guys though) I can't root for you over a NCHC team. Quote

cberkas Posted 7 hours ago Author Posted 7 hours ago Death, taxes, NCHC winning titles, and B1G will surpass everyone because of NIL. My least favorite NCHC team is Omaha because of how they treated Blais. I did want them to beat Providence when they made the Frozen Four Quote
cberkas Posted 1 hour ago Author Posted 1 hour ago Missed that Augustine won the Richter. This is becoming an achievement award. Quote
