Since several threads seem to have devolved into speculation about rev share and NIL and other payments to players and there have been calls for "evidence", here's a thread to post published stories that relate to hockey schools and their payment efforts.

I don't think Team Canada has been finalized yet.

Nice piece on the Penn-Cornell Thanksgiving Day games of the past.

I guess he couldn't take the new sound system.

Effective immediately.

The band will be in section 121.

Saturday game is at 5 for whatever reason and they are expecting a sellout.

Edit: band moved. And sat is sold out.

Stonehill beat Merrimack today. Possibly biggest win in their short D1 history?

Merrimack had to start its student manager in net though...

RIT beat Clarkson, union needed OT to beat Army. SLU beat Canisius. Colgate was swept by UConn. ECAC off to a uninspired start in games that count.

Another court battle for the NCAA. Seems somewhat inevitable that at least some major junior restrictions will fall.

Not sure what to make of all this. But it's probably helpful to consolidate operations of hockey only leagues.

With all the transfer portal stuff and with folks starting to leave early, may as well kick off a thread to track ECAC movement.

Probably time to move on from the 22-23 thread...

I do wonder if this is the end of the program. New AD, interim coach is the alumni association president, no success in years, dwindling sport all around?

She comes from Colgate.

Adios, Andy.

First round for men to be single game starting this year. Quarters still best of three.

Women to expand to 12 teams starting next year.
