Non-UND College Hockey 2026-27

After Wisconsin got the Cornell goalie, Colby feeling like Wisconsin will be in DC.

That's a bold prediction for a team that need games to go their way, or they would have missed the NCAAs last season

There is a pretty good thread on GPL regarding NIL where a lawyer attempts to break it down.  It is waaaaaaay more confusing than any of us think, or just a booster handing over a check to a top recruit.  The phrase "Big 10 Money" gets thrown around, but according to that thread and as you mentioned Wilbur, at the UM it's not necessarily the case (the $250K for a player, etc)...and on top of that, it's complicated as hell.  

Not to mention some of those numbers i've heard sometimes include out of state tuition. So in theory $50,000 of that money shouldn't even be in the final number.

An ASU fan got a reply from the AD and was basically told nothing to see we're getting good players coming here. Not the response he was looking for 🤣 🤣

Seeing how ESPN can end and start NHL games on time back-to-back-to-back but can't with NCAA games raises lots of questions.

Different sites is why. But considering tickets are for both sessions the mandatory hour break seems unnecessarily long.

Should be able to get back to back to start right

Anyone else think the Barstool geography guy look like Powers

Or is it just me

Sounds like he’s the alumni choice. Also runs a venture capital firm.

People out there questioning this and comparing it to Miami with Bergeron.

Former UND recruit Pilgrim goes to SCSU instead.

Met his mom(Jayson Shaugaby's sister FYI) on the night of the NCHC Semifinals vs UMD, very nice. She said communication with UND had been few and far between since Jax took over. She said of course he wanted to play for UND but didn't sound like he felt very wanted with new coaching staff(my words) and they asked him to wait a year when he was ready to be done with junior hockey. Actually mentioned they were going to visit with SCSU after that game but I'm sure Larson going to UofM threw a bunch of that in the air. Wish him the best.

Yale going with 2 or 3 years of U13/U14 AAA head coaching experience.

Last coaching is in 2024.

I am disappointed by this. Really liked the kid in the state tourney. Hope we don't regret it.

They'll just get him from the portal in a year or two

Yale continuing to be a doormat is bad for the conference. Unfortunately, I think that will be so as long as that AD is in place. A shame given the location and how pretty that campus is

I've heard the alumni wanted this hire

Isn't that the truth haha just because you miss out on a kid, that door is never truly closed.

I saw the McNally article (she has a great future in sports media if she pursue that route given what she's done the past ~4 years). He's basically a mercenary, which is to be expected in this current climate. ECAC schools haven't had to deal with this on such a significant scale until recently, but Jones rightfully realizes that there are some players who actually want to play at a school like Cornell (hence the four transfer player entries in the past four years).

As for Yale, we'll see how that goes with the new coach. If it's up to the alumni, fine, but it'll be a tough hill to climb given the state of the program.

Yale has been alright and was super lucky they won a national title when they did. Keith thought he’d keep it going but Yale isn’t Harvard or Cornell when it comes to hockey success.
