2022-2023 Season

#8 Chrys Collin is no longer listed on the roster. He hadn’t played a ton yet this year (injury, I thought?), but it’s interesting me that he’s not listed there anymore. Anyone know anything or have any guesses? I think he last played in the St. Thomas series back in November.

Apparently playing in the ECHL now.

Wow, wasn’t expecting that. Good for the kid to have a pro opportunity, but I’m not sure what happened that would’ve caused him to leave during the season.

Let me preface this by saying I have no insights whatsoever. With that out of the way, He had surgery in the offseason which kept him out of the lineup at the start of the season. Ty mentioned early in his career here that English is not his primary language and he had to work hard at the schoolwork. I vaguely remember he turned down a USHL team to play his last year of juniors closer to home (someone can check me on that). If he's in the ECHL, the least surprising team to me would be Trois-Rivières. I like his game - he has some wheels. He was one who was in and out of the lineup but I found myself pulling for him. Wish him the best.

Next year news but it was announced today that BG will open next year on the road at Robert Morris. Their first game back in the D1 game.

I'm thinking maybe RM opens on the road at BG on Friday, with Saturday's game in Pittsburgh. Robert Morris' announcement is that October 7 is their home opener, first home game in over 937 days.

Swankler named "Forward of the Month" by both the CCHA and the Hockey Commissioners Association.

Stoever also the Player of the Week for the CCHA. Both he and Swankler are having great seasons.

With a guy like Swankler it’s so disappointing that we’re below .500. Reminds me of Sean Walker’s last season, you had a legit NHL blue line with him and Friedman yet we were pretty pedestrian the most of the 2016-17 season

Looking at the +/- column tells a large part of that story.

Are they just going to promote Buddy Powers from volunteer coach or will they bring someone in?

Mike McMahon wrote that he expects most programs to make their Director of Hockey Ops as the third coach to save money. Those guys are already involved with much of the day-to-day stuff but they have some restrictions currently as it pertains to recruiting and on-ice activities. This change would obviously eliminate all that.

Stoever added to the Richter Watch List...along with like 30 other goaltenders from around college hockey.

Over on the USCHO Mankato thread I found the following:

I listened to the MSU radio broadcast. They mentioned a couple of interesting things.

The first is that both teams want to continue scheduling each other. The second is that CCHA commissioner Lucia attended the series.

I thought the whole point of restarting the CCHA was to not play teams in states that begin and end in 'A' anymore.
