It’s Monday, alright. Let’s all hope for a nice, easy day.
The Cup Final begins on Wednesday, so everything I’ve wanted to say about it I’ve already kind of said already. Two crazy good teams who may also engage in a little bit of skullduggery and thuggery not because of any reason to on-ice wise. But because they like it. Hope it goes 7.
Instead, I wanna discuss the NCAA/CHL agreement, and already what it’s bearing fruit on.
The Memorial Cup finished up yesterday (The London Knights won. It wasn’t close.), a boatload of CHL players have begun committing to NCAA schools; North Dakota just picked up Keaton Verhoeff and Cole Reschny from the Victoria Royals, Providence picked up the Brandon Wheat Kings’ captain in March, Luke Coughlin of Rimouski’s going to be a Black Bear this fall, and there’s rumor that Justin Carbonneau may eschew the Q for BC.
