This popped up on Xitter today. I'd be OK with this as long as Maryville comes along. I wasn't a fan of having 9 teams in the league. We're the closest school to Lindenwood; they are closer to us than Marquette or Houghton so it's not a huge deal for us. Bemidji and the UP schools bear the brunt of...

I'm not sure what's up with the kid. He was in an NHL prospect camp last summer, and didn't really look out of place here.

If you like financial analytics, here's some for college hockey.

Hmmm. Interesting comment from Terry as he and I reconciled our separate depth charts with a little guidance from Curtis and Willy. I'm surprised he still has Campbell on his list, I thought we'd reconciled that. With that said, here's what I think I know: 1) Roster size next year is 28 which inclu...

Unless he's referring to someone else?

Future practices could be interesting?

I tracked all the CCHA member fundraising events (similar to our One Day). We raised nearly 3.5 times everyone else combined. That does not include Lake State's recurring $1.5m donation, this looks at only the fundraising events. Interesting that only one person donated to the Viqueens. https://cdn...

Say it with me, "Dupont."

Maybe we should wait and see which Maryville game we win before we start designating games as exhibitions

Well, the second one will be the third game in 4 days. Pretty sure that's the one you want as an exhibition.

Is the Maryville "series" an actual series or is it considered an exhibition? I know they have a DI/DIII hybrid schedule this upcoming season but wasn't sure if these were games that counted. Still sucks that there won't be a Buckeye series this year. On the official schedule on BG's webs...

Sounds like tomorrow is the day.

Ohio State non-conference announced, and as expected, no BG this year.

Here's some stats you never knew you needed (and after reading probably still think you don't need). Ryan Sikes did an analysis of all first year CHL players that played NCAA hockey this year and calculated for each of the CHL leagues how many of their junior league points were retained at the NCAA...
