Under the hockey counterproposal, the 5-year clock begins the academic year following a player's 19th birthday or initial college enrollment. Whichever comes first.

Huge win for college hockey. The commissioners worked extremely hard on pushing this proposal.

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere can thank his sister for his love of hockey: “I used to wake up everyday at 4 a.m. to go to the rink. That’s how dedicated I was when I was seven.

My dad would drive my sister and me through the dark on an empty highway, then I’d get to the rink and do what I loved to do more than anything in the world: I went to sleep.

Let me explain.

My sister, Felicia, is four years older than me. Back then, she was an unreal figure skater. She was going to be an Olympian someday — she was that good. My dad would take us to Incredible Ice — the rink in Coral Springs, Florida — every morning. My mom worked, so I had to tag along if I wanted to get to school. I didn’t want to watch figure skating, though, so I started bringing a sleeping bag. I’d roll it out right in the bleachers, and I’d pass out for a few hours, five rows up from the ice while Felicia trained with her coaches.

And then, after school was over, we were back at the rink. I still didn’t want to watch figure skating, and my homework could wait, so I spent my time on my life’s other big passion: collecting hockey pucks. I’d look for them between the stands, in the locker rooms, under the bench in the penalty box — literally everywhere. I think I had more than 300 in my family’s garage by the time I grew out of my obsession.

But every once in awhile I’d stop and watch my sister skate. Man, she was so good. She still is. I think if you asked her, she’d tell you that she could beat me in a race right now. Back then, she put me to shame. She had straight A’s in school, did all this community service and was pretty much a role-model kid. And I was a rink rat, stacking pucks to the ceiling. Let’s just say we were … well, different, but I knew I wanted to skate like her.

So I took power-skating lessons from one of her coaches. The classes were OK, but there was no puck. We did all these drills without ever touching a puck. Like, this coach didn’t get it, I needed a puck.

But at least my skating started to get better. Felicia and I would go to the rink whenever we had free time, and we’d race. You know those kids at public skates who show up wearing hockey gloves and rip through everyone without any regard for their surroundings? That was us and we loved it.

Without her, I’m not sure I would’ve had the drive necessary to get to the level I wanted to reach. I saw her work ethic and her passion, and it showed me the way. When I look back on those early days of falling in love with hockey, I think of her.” https://t.co/vKBpILc5u7

Rob Gronkowski shares his advice for NFL rookies: You don't need a $200,000 car

“This is simple advice. You just need that $60,000 car. It's basically just as flashy. It's not going to make you more of a man or make you play better on the football field”

“If you start getting on that train right away and buying everything, all the jewelry, nice cars that depreciate in value the second you pull out of the lot, then guess what? You're going to want to live that life your whole entire time”

“Spend within your means and don't go overboard. You don't need everything flashy right away. Put it away because you never know when the NFL is going to be done with”

“If you put it away, you're set. You don't have to worry about anything. Even if you put $2 million away, you're set. It's fantastic”

With the Nailers eliminated, AHL-bound Taylor Gauthier leaves behind a legacy in Wheeling as the winningest goalie in team history and much more.

For at least 6 years, Arizona has carried the dubious distinction of offering the fewest ice sheets per USA Hockey registered players in the nation.

Help is on the way with 3 arenas & potentially 6 ice sheets in the works in Phoenix, Tucson & Flagstaff.

On hockey and age-based admission:

I had this in the newsletter a few weeks ago. More than 80% of college hockey freshmen last year were junior age-outs (20+ years old).

409 out of 509 players.
