With the Minnesota Wild drafting Luke Kunin, the New York Rangers landing Jimmy Vesey, and the Gopher's women's team winning yet another national title, there's a good argument to be made that the state of college hockey and its players has never been more important, particularly for fans in Minnesota. I mean, #OneOfUs is a thing for a reason and it applies particularly to Erik Haula, born in Pori, Finland and not Lakeville or something like that, for a reason.
So if you're trying to get into college hockey, or just looking for a refresher before tonight's much anticipated first game of the exhibition season between Simon Fraser and Alaska Anchorage (for a minute I genuinely thought there was just one guy named Simon Fraser taking on an entire D1 team), then I'm here to help.
