Cripes what a fun listen as Jeff LoVecchio and Topher Scott talk to UMN alum Brian Bonin about his path from youth player to Mr. Hockey to #Gophers to Hobey Baker winner to pro hockey to being a hockey parent. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…
Thought this was an interesting take from Shane Malloy, PhDc, MBA, CHP: "It will put college hockey on top, in terms of amateur players, in the world. Jr. A will be at the bottom, then the CHL/USHL/NTDP in the middle, and then college hockey at the pinnacle."
The point Mike McMahon made today jibes with my CHL take. CHL is not that different than USHL for development stage. If major junior kids can play college hockey it could make for a better league for post-draft player development. It might not be best for USA Hockey though.
#GPLPodcasr beverage of the week is a Gray Duck Spirits Bomba Juice! Almost hockey season. Phoritto was the top food item for me.
#GPLPodcast beer of the week, Hopmosa from bentpaddlebeer — hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!
Surprising to read Rachel Blount is leaving the Minnesota Star Tribune today -- Howard Sinker posted her goodbye message explaining the move. I always enjoyed listening to her questions during #Gophers hockey scrums and then reading her work. I'll be watching to see what's next.
There’s a Peter Hankinson near the top of the MGA Sr Am heading into day 2, wonder if Ben Hankinson will rep him for any endorsement opportunities to follow.
One of the great things about NCHC Media Day is seeing Brad Elliott Schlossman and Scott Sandelin breaking down the big college hockey topics.
