Casey has to pick his own leadership, I guess. Best of luck to Ben Russell.

Have you ever wondered if it's possible to hate a coaching staff more?

It's probably time to move on to 2024-25, but that takes a little more effort than replying to an existing thread.  

This year's Winter Classic is expanding to include not just Blackhawks vs. Blues at Wrigley Field on December 31, but also Notre Dame men vs. Penn State men and Michigan vs the Ohio State men on January 3, followed by Wisconsin men vs Michigan State men and Wisconsin women vs. the Ohio State women on January 4.     https://chicago.suntimes.com/blackhawks/2024/08/15/blackhawks-cubs-nhl-winter-classic-wrigley-field-big-ten-hockey-wisconson-notre-dame?utm_source=Newsletter_Daily-Rundown-Member&utm_medium=WBEZEmail&utm_campaign=Daily_Newsletter_Daily-Rundown_Sponsored_20240815&utm_content=8/15/2024&DE=WBEZEmail

Harvard makes what looks to be a  solid hire

(Hobey winner Matt Gilroy who played at BU, hired as assistant coach)

That sucks. Would love to see deeper NTDP ties at Cornell. Cornell's next hire appears to be solid as well and, hopefully, opens up Minnesota for the men.

I hadn't heard about a new assistant (or even that Russell had left), and Cornell hasn't announced anything, but here is an article about the new coach from a Minnesota paper: https://www.mankatofreepress.com/sports/local_sports/north-mankato-native-leivermann-lands-job-as-assistant-coach-at-cornell/article_2c86bad6-542b-11ef-b030-7302ff6847c8.amp.html

Now Corey Leivermann is announced by Cornell.  https://cornellbigred.com/news/2024/8/28/mens-ice-hockey-leivermann-joins-coaching-staff.aspx

I'm already a fan since they mentioned his dog in the announcement.

NHL star Johnny Gaudreau, formerly of BC passed away.

[underskill]

And his brother. Day before sister's wedding.  Awful

[billhoward]

More specifically, Gaudreau and his brother were struck by a car while riding bicycles at dusk Thursday evening in New Jersey. The driver was arrested and charged with suspicion (as of the day after) of being drunk.

Nice nickname:

A mid-year transfer to Gustavus Adolphus, a Minnesota-based Division III institution, in 2012-13, Leivermann averaged a point per game over his 40 career games with the Gusties

Nice nickname:

Officially the team nickname is the Golden Gusties.

Sounds like a lot of hot air to me.  ::bolt::
