A quintet of Bulldogs were taken Tuesday night in the 2025 PWHL Draft, giving the UMD women's hockey program 18 picks in the first three PWHL drafts. Is Nina Jobst-Smith's draft story the coolest? She's heading home to loved ones in Vancouver. Story: duluthnewstribune.com/sports/bulldog…

The NCHC wants to name its postseason trophy, and there is at least one idea I think everyone can get behind. But why not sleep on it to make sure we get this right? A column that also includes notes on what some Bulldogs are up to this summer: duluthnewstribune.com/sports/bulldog…

My working headline for this column was: NCHC should reconsider its playoff format But as I researched and wrote the column, it evolved to this: Should NCHC reconsider its playoff format? Breaking down whether the NCHC should follow the Big Ten: duluthnewstribune.com/sports/bulldog…

The Big Ten is running away from a playoff format similar to what the NCHC will begin using in 2025-26. Could a three-week postseason endanger the NCHC's dominance of the NCAA tournament? Column: duluthnewstribune.com/sports/bulldog…

"We needed to make sure we had someone who had the drive, the dedication and the passion that our previous head coach did. And we wanted to take the new coaching staff to take us even further. I'm excited about the opportunity that she brings." stcloudlive.com/sports/college…

USA White beats Finland 5-2 in the first World Junior Summer Showcase game in Minneapolis. Instant analysis: The United States is now the heavy favorite to win gold in a tournament being played six months from now. As for Finland, I don't see how they can recover in time.

With players like Max Plante, Cole Eiserman and Cole Hutson at the WJSS, USA coach Bob Motzko didn't want to say they were injured. Just said that USA is being smart with them. On Max: He's wants to play. He's begging to play. He'd play if someone let him.

Max Plante really wants to play this week in the World Junior Summer Showcase in Minneapolis, but Team USA is being smart with the Bulldogs winger. He'll have to wait until December to wear the red, white and blue on State of Hockey soil. Story: duluthnewstribune.com/sports/bulldog…
