@ZachHalverson @NanneLou Don’t need to be afraid of used gear. House league hockey needs to return.

@UMDBulldogs @hoopsbrewing When more than one person selects the first goal, is it a random draw?

Just the Stats: @UMDMensHockey hosting @SCSUHuskies_MH in @TheNCHC. Splits abound in week one of NCHC play, Huskies and Bulldogs are no exception (UMD has 1 point less for OT win). SCSU has played only 1 road game (win at BSU), UMD 2-1-0 at home. #theNational #collegehockey

Just the Stats: @UMDMensHockey at @UNDmhockey for the first @TheNCHC weekend. Bulldogs are off to a hot start, but Hawks are tough at home. Common opponent UMTC: UMD 2-0-0, UND 1-1-0 #theNational #collegehockey

@chnews This must tax the scouting staff now that they have more territory to explore

Every Tier 1 organization in Illinois is required to have a "Fact Sheet" that breaks down the costs for the season for families looking to join. I got sent one for a 10u team.

The estimated cost just for the org fee and travel:

Over $17,000.

For 9-10 year olds.

@mikey2gunzz @espn It’s the root cause so yes it’s accurate

[Drew Shore @Drew22Shore]

I retired from playing professional hockey in 2021.

I started playing professionally in 2011 after I signed a contract with the Florida Panthers and decided to leave the University of Denver after only three seasons.

I felt completely “burnt out” when I decided to stop playing and could not understand why, after playing professionally for only 10 seasons. I always thought I was going to be the guy who played until he was 40. Recently, I had a conversation with a friend of mine, Derek Armstrong, who helped me crystallize my thoughts on why this occurred. Derek and I had very similar skill sets and talent levels.

Let’s begin by comparing our careers:

Derek: 17 years pro, 477 NHL games, 1,015 pro games, retired at 37.
Drew: 10 years pro, 99 NHL games, 322 pro games (a million healthy scratches), retired at 30.

From the time I was three years old, I shot pucks every day. I did this because I thought I had to in order to make the NHL. Derek shot pucks every day because he thought it was fun and genuinely enjoyed it.

I moved away from home when I was 13 to play hockey in Vancouver, and that was the year I mentally made hockey a job. I never once felt any pressure from either of my parents; this was simply the way I was wired at an early age. Derek played with his buddies every day on a pond until he turned 18. He didn’t think hockey was a job until his first NHL game at 20 years old.

This is an important lesson for both players and parents. I now realize that when I retired at 30, I felt exhausted because I had been treating the game like a profession for 17 seasons.

It is impossible to reach the pinnacle of any profession without years of hard work. The best players love their work. They enjoy every part of the game, which enables them to sustain energy and be successful for many years.

You have to find a way to fall in love with the daily grind, or else long-term success is impossible. This applies to sports and everything else in life.

And, we're back... just the stats for @UMDMensHockey hosting @UNDmhockey for the opening weekend of @TheNCHC play.

@NHesterly @TeamECH @JamesMurrayECH @ConnorECH The good news is the Badgers realize its deficiencies and are renovating it. As is it doesn’t deserve to be on the list. It’s number one for largest capacity rink though.

@sam_anderson34 @TheCotz If seeing the Anderson Super Fans wasn’t enough my kid met our 2011 tender. Kenny is such a nice man. We met him in Pittsburgh in 2021 and my kid was too nervous to speak with him. That changed tonight. They have a fellow goalie understanding.

[Jason Sullivan @JasonSullivan]

Bulldogs lost to the eventual champions. Got to watch a good game. Greeted the Anderson pair @TheCotz. Life is good.

@NCAAIceHockey Flash back to 2020 when @UMDHockey was making a run for a three peat

@PipelineUmd I know it’s too early to speculate but it would be neat to have a clean sweep of the Plante siblings and lock in Victor.

[Jason Sullivan @JasonSullivan]

Who do I need to talk to for @DStarmanHockey to get an ESPN contract so I can listen to him call the biggest games in the sport we love. Bring in the best.
