Offseason 2023

[BG84]

Because this offseason is dull and boring (at this point last year we had 23 pages in the offseason thread) I did some portal research. DISCLAIMER: the analysis is fairly cheesy and it won't take much to poke holes in the thing but it can at least spark some discussion.

My lame contribution to the discussion: Interesting!

I see Tennessee State is launching a hockey program. It will be club for now, but they do hope eventually to put it in Division I.

Here's a contest to see how many NCAA D1 coaches you can name. I got 28.

Speaking of college coaches, we have an assistant coach opening that was posted earlier this month. Anyone know anything about that?

NCAA approved an extra assistant coach for D1. Most are giving it to their hockey ops people.

Eric Pohlkamp, brother of Matt and Chris, was selected in the 5th round by San Jose.

Too embarrassing to report a number. I couldn't even think of all the CCHA coaches.

Same. Couldn’t think of who Mankato hired, and there was a decent amount of shuffling this off-season. Let me try again in like January and I’ll do a lot better. Lol

Here's what I've seen for camps so far:

Blues: Scardina, Mamlstrom
Kings: Stoever
VGK: Swankler

Any others?

Wozney is off to the Kraken's development camp.

Scardina (#61) with a nice sequence where he handles the 2x1 then lights the lamp to the oohs and aahs of the crowd.

Arizona State officially announced to the Nacho, beginning 2024-25. League will schedule based upon three team pods. Sounds like Miami isn't going anywhere in the near term.

Wow, Miami must have the sads.

The pods:
o ASU/CC/Denver
o Duluth/NoDak/St Cloud
o Miami State/Omaha/Western

Each team plays their podmates home and away each year with two home and away and four either home or away against the other two pods. Omaha got screwed though they have the least to complain about seeing as they spent time making those trips back in their CCHA 1.0 days. Edit: and they were already making those trips each year so it's not like they're suddenly on the road a ton more.

The pods do give Miami a bit of a shorter travel guarantee here which may be enough to keep them around in the league.
