    As to #1, based on the Sep. 5 press conference, the decision could come this week. He talked about a leadership committee of players that includes a freshman (Apap), 2 sophomores (Saliba and Hirose), 2 juniors (Sanford and ??) and a senior (Gatt). They're involved in the decision.

    January 1 & 2 are 100% correct. There is a yet to be announced WWE event coming in the December dates that are currently seen as open.

    Oh I agree, there's no reason it shouldn't be announced already. The big hold up seemed to be the Pistons schedule but that came out in early August. Don't know how we may actually start the season and not have date set.

    1, Do we have a captain yet?
    2. Has GLI been cancelled? Nothing on the MSU schedule. Nothing on the LCA schedule. Nothing on the West Ypsilanti CC schedule.

    Any ideas.

    Very sad news about Jeff Parker. Thoughts are with his family.

    Jeff was a big strong rugged winger who had a great Frozen Four in 1986, scoring a goal in both the semi-final win over Minnesota and the title game against Harvard. Parker was a true "north-south" winger who created a lot of time and space on the ice. The City Pages article is yet another in a long line of stories documenting the issue of concussions in sports. The NHL and NFL continue to hide from the medical facts and the long term damage caused to way too many athletes. Sadly once a player steps away from the game and the cheering stops, their medical issues continue and often times worsen.

    While nobody forces an athlete to participate in a high contact sport like hockey (or football) the governing bodies at all levels have failed for too long to take more precautions to protect players. At the NCAA level, contact to the head is a penalty, however it is not enforced as strictly as it should. If the NCAA/NHL/NFL continue to give only casual concern for player safety, hockey and football could face very bleak futures.

    R.I.P Jeff Parker
    I wonder if this could be a OSHA issue? Safety and Health in the work area.

    Partial plans went on sale this week.

    Re: I guess it's time for another Michigan State thread

    MSU hockey alum, defenseman A.J. Sturges, is now behind the bench guiding West Virginia U's program. It's a nice arc of personal history for him, starting at a high level with US-NTDP, suffering a blow (literally) at the hands of an MSU football player after his freshman season, and working his way back to the ice over the next two seasons. In a really nice moment, he nearly bookmarked his MSU career with a goal in his final game against OSU. He excelled more in academics than on the stat sheet, but is taking his smarts and hockey knowledge to his head-coaching gig.

    Congrats, A.J.!
