Who did we leave home that YOU would have on Team America?!!👇
The youngest brother of a well-known American hockey family was one of the top players at the U17 World Challenge. Joey Cullen looks like a good bet to be a high pick in the 2028 NHL Draft, writes @Mkor1980. https://t.co/sqbLs5no6h
BHS Hockey Class A Transfer Portal
Here is the 2026-27 "Transfer Portal" update for BHS Hockey in Class A. Obviously, this is not a true "portal", and many of these moves happen due to family relocation or other legitimate reasons. Just tracking player movement before the season
COLLEGE HOCKEY WEEKEND #6
🏒🔥🍿
10 RANKED TEAMS. 5 MUST-WATCH MATCHUPS.
November is here, conference races are heating up, and we've got another LOADED weekend of college hockey ahead!
College Puck NXT Games of the Week ⬇️
- #13 Boston University @ #3 Michigan State: Two national powers collide in East Lansing! The Terriers bring a 6-2 record into Munn Ice Arena for a two-game non-conference showdown against the Spartans.
- #8 Augustana @ #14 Michigan Tech: How about these two?! Augustana has climbed into the national Top 10, while Michigan Tech sits at 6-2. A fascinating two-game matchup in Houghton between programs making some serious early-season noise.
- #1 Wisconsin @ #18 Minnesota: THE BORDER BATTLE! One of college hockey's oldest rivalries adds another chapter as the undefeated Badgers head to Minneapolis for a Thursday/Saturday series. Minnesota leads the all-time series 190-105-25 dating back to 1922, with both teams sweeping on home ice last season.
- #6 Quinnipiac @ #16 Cornell: One game. Friday night. Lynah Rink. Two longtime ECAC rivals square off in Ithaca as the Bobcats look to build on their Halloween win over Providence. Expect a hostile atmosphere for this one!
- #5 Western Michigan @ #10 North Dakota: A heavyweight NCHC showdown at The Ralph! The defending national champion Broncos head to Grand Forks for a two-game series against a North Dakota squad looking to make an early statement in conference play.
Which matchup are YOU watching this weekend?! 👀🍿👇
Who’s heading to Davos? 🇨🇭🏒
With 14 roster spots already filled, here’s my FINAL @USCollegeSelect roster prediction for the 2026 @spenglercup
The college all-star squad is back for year two, and a lot has changed since the initial projection in May… 👀
Here’s what matters as the remaining spots fill up:
🔒 14 players locked in: 8 forwards, 5 defensemen and 1 goalie. Locks are marked on the graphic; the remaining names are my predictions.
🏒 Every NCAA conference must be represented. No players have been selected from the CCHA or Atlantic Hockey America yet, so those conferences still need spots!
⭐ Returning NCAA All-Americans from last season receive automatic invites.
🔄 The expectation was a fresh roster without returning players from last year’s team. One exception: Zam Plante has been invited back, potentially setting up a chance to play alongside his brother Max.
📋Availability matters, too. Last year, some programs, including Western Michigan and Michigan State, opted not to send players. Team decisions and how many players programs will already be missing for World Juniors can influence who ultimately makes the trip.
Plenty of deserving names and only so many tickets to Switzerland…
Who did I leave off that YOU would send to Davos? Make your case! 👇
Minnetonka’s Dean Stevens has been really, really good for the NTDP to start the year. Thought he’d have a slower start being a later 2010, but he’s been excellent out of the gate.
Might be the most dynamic player on the team not named Joey Cullen.
