"This team is going to be good," Hamilton said. "I believe that, and they believe that. It is going to be hard work, and it is going to be a lot of work. It is going to be holding players accountable when it is uncomfortable, but the talent is there. Our staff certainly believes that.
"I don't think it is going to be long. It is going to be a lot of hard work, but Yale hockey will be back on the map soon."

I appreciate the fact that all the ECAC teams will be finishing with a bye in the first weekend of playoffs. It will save the league money when all the teams finish in the top 4. 8)

Not shaping up as strong OOC
As per Bucci, (https://x.com/Buccigross/status/2057556815676862717?s=20) trapezoid rule will start next year in Div 1 hockey.

Apparently they are also removing the mandated shootout for the women. The ECAC used shootouts only for tiebreaking purposes anyway, so I wonder if it'll go away right away.

I'm struggling to figure out which of these are just "here's an idea" and which are "we're actually doing this". The cut-resistant equipment is a good thing though.

I was pulling for a Buckminsterfullerene rule instead, but this'll do.
Wisconsin added another goalie, Xander Miceli. Anton Castro apparently out.

With Castro out, they have 3, 4 is a major logjam, especially with the roster limits. No one seems to know where he's heading- portal is closed and he's 23, so no Junior Hockey for him. Washed, I guess.
