OT: - 2022-2023 NCAA Hockey Thread

Not sure if this is the right place to put this one but I couldn't put it on the college hockey thread and, since he went to Shattuck last year, Cole Eiserman has committed to the Gophers.

So you're saying he's going to sign with the Wild?

I wouldn't want to play for Arizona. Way too much uncertainty around that franchise. Super unfortunate.

If only...

 

[57special]

Staying in college one more year will be good for him, and the Coyotes.

If I was Leopold I'd be pushing the NIL on him. Not him in particular, as that would probably be a conflict of interest. But his big corporate sponsors/suite holders. Push that NIL up to 1 million a year and maybe he's a Wild.

I feel like this would be hit with tampering and we would lose 1-2 1st round picks. Prolly top 10 picks too knowing our luck.

Cooley is not going to stay in college for three more years.

Worth it.

If Motzko doesn't win it this year, he may never do it.

I’m looking forward to a D1 college hockey season for the first time in almost 8 years. Season tickets have been purchased.

Oh, you've moved to Minneapolis?

There are a number of cities I would never live in and Minneapolis is one of them. I’m a few hours away from Madison, but the drive is basically a straight shot to the Kohl Center.

So you prefer St. Paul then, cool.

Finally doing something good with that arena? Indoor motocross and some monster truck rallies would be a huge improvement over gopher hockey.

I prefer small towns. My current city has just under 30,000 people and that’s enough for me.

It's WI, so unless you're in the MKE or Madison metro area it's basically all small town. I use Kwik Trip, Dollar General, and Walmart stores to define town sizes for the state.

 

[Ban Hammered]

Arizona State will join the NCHC in 2024.

Arizona State headed to NCHC in 2024-25

The Sun Devils will be the league's ninth member. It is the first time the NCHC has expanded since the league played its opening game in October 2013.

t.co

I always found it interesting that Dodgeville has a Walmart, Culver’s, Kwik Trip, all pizza joints, etc. for such a small town, there are a lot of businesses there.

I don't think that's a rule in hockey

Maybe not, but if it were Minnesota doing it, they would retroactively make it a rule and punish us for doing so.

Or make a rule that since it's so late in the offseason, he would be ineligible for no reason except... just because.
