Z. Vinell scored his first professional goal tonight.

Here's the goal: https://twitter.com/i/status/1635063676657967104

If he would have gotten that much time this season, he would've had 20 goals. An honest ECHL roster would finish bottom half in a CCHA season.

Saw story Finlandia University from Houghton County, Michigan is closing their doors this semester. Only 460 students enrolled. It is interesting to see an assistant coach listed on their Division III men's hockey team as Gary Kruzich. No idea where he will go. Can we use a goalie coach or advisor?

Unless I’m mistaken, I believe he was an assistant for them a while ago. I’m pretty certain he’s now working at Michigan Tech in their athletic department, and has been for some time.

Eliteprospects.com only has him listed there through 2014 and he isn't on the school website. USCHO isn't great about updating their D3 pages.

Friedman recalled to the Penguins today.

He's teaching marketing at Finlandia, not sure if he's still associated with MTU or not. Would explain why he was on the hockey staff.

Rumor is Walks is involved in a 3-way deal and is on his way to PHI. He was a healthy scratch for a couple of of the Kings playoff games.

George McPhee gets his name on the Cup. Congrats!

Really happy for him. Quite a remarkable story to go from expansion franchise six years ago to two SCF appearances, and now one winning the thing. Hoping Stanley makes a visit to the Madhouse this year...
