I am guessing that JF is going to smack talk Patrice Robitaille before and after the Potsdam-Morrisville lacrosse game in 2025.

Sometimes, an 8 day head coaching search lands the right candidate.
I caught on yesterday’s show when Marty mentioned dropping Jacob off at West Point. He’ll be a first year on the hockey team in 2024-25.
It's pretty cool to see a BK Selects jersey on Sportsnet.ca.

Shoulda got one game in
The Tom Willander situation is going to be the biggest issue for the NCAA, I would bet.
On the NCAA's side, they do get to make up their own eligibility requirements. There have been previous lawsuits over a variety of weird eligibility decisions and they have won them before.
I wonder if they change hockey eligibility to basically say that what a player does before they are done with HS is OK.

Mazur detractors will look like dummies!
I'm not even sure why playing in the CHL is a sticking point anymore. With NIL ca$h flowing and having millionaire college athletes it's a absurd line to draw in the sand.
I'm sure the coaches would be heavily in favor of being able to nab CHL transfers. Don Lucia went as far to push for guys who went to pro leagues to be able to return to college.

Preparing PHASE TWO!
This is awesome. Me and a friend of mine are tentatively talking about making the trip over - good excuse to visit Ireland and see some hockey while we're at it.

Preparing PHASE TWO!
Season starts Friday, with Miami travelling to Ferris State and Bowling Green going to Mercyhurst.
As for the locals:
RIT plays Saturday/Sunday at St. Lawrence (7 PM) and at Clarkson (4 PM)
Canisius plays them in reverse - at Clarkson Saturday night and at St. Lawrence Sunday afternoon.
All four of these games will be on ESPN+ (as they are away games at ECAC schools)
Niagara doesn't have an official game this weekend but goes to Ohio State for an exhibition sunday.
RIT starts the year as the top team in the receiving votes category - just outside the top 20 despite their losses.

RabidBadger (cliffs notes) almost-starting-the-season power 5.
Denver: lotsa guys back but they can't count on Matt Davis delivering another superhuman performance.
BC: also lotsa guys back. Ryan Leonard could hit the goal per game mark.
Sparty: my pick to win the natty this year. Trey Augustine looks like a man of destiny. Charlie Strammel will be interesting to watch; we'll see if he was misused at Wisconsin or if The Wild screwed the pooch drafting him. And...lotsa guys back.
Cornell: you probably won't be surprised to hear they have lotsa guys back. They played well enough to win a title last year but ran into Dominic Hasek's bastard son. Win one Shafer already, ya bums.
Minnesota: the jaundiced gerbils have reloaded nicely. We'll see how the talent gels together.
Game on!

Y'all have to much power
There are many college sports programs that have endowments for coaching positions and they are now the [fill in the blank] head coach as opposed to merely the head coach.
Cornell Men's Lacrosse has endowments for their head coach and their associate head coach.
And George Boiardi has a lasting impact on the program long after he died on the field decades ago.

Preparing PHASE TWO!
Nice weekend for RIT - the equivalent of a 4 point weekend on the road against mid-tier ECAC teams. Their freshman goalie had a great game against Clarkson in the 3-2 win. Very little joy in the rest of Atlantic Hockey though - only Air Force got an OT win vs. Arizona State...other than that some OTL's scattered in a solid group of L's.
Forward injuries are getting a little concerning though - their most talented finisher Matthew Wilde missed the weekend and Kevin Marx-Noren (incoming transfer) had to leave Sunday's game...
