Lake State Hockey 2022-23

Looks like a solid pick up. I ramble on here frustrated with getting players that have not done much at the college level then jump schools and the schools just plug them in the line up in high profile spots. I would like to see LSSU do what they just did here get some players that can come in and get better every year and grow within

Should be a lot of new faces in uniform for the Lakers in the Fall. At this point, I think there may be 11 new guys.

The Lakers have picked up D-man Nate Schweitzer (Colorado College) from the portal.

I have no idea about this player, does anyone have any insight?

[Bill]

New commit for the Lakers. Currently plays for Oklahoma City (NAHL).

Getting word that LSSU will open the 2023-24 season with a series at Michigan State in October.

The Lakers have had quite a few non-conference series at home in October the past couple of seasons. They're due to be on the road more in October; will be interesting to see how the rest of the October schedule shakes out. More scheduling will likely be finalized following the ACHA Convention the latter part of next week.

The Lakers have a new commit for this coming season, D-man Evan Bushy. Former SCSU commit.

It's now looking like the Lakers may have as many as 13-14 new guys this Fall.

Any idea what the roster is going to look like next year?

Returnees:

Langenegger
Huggins
Williams
Milburn (Connor)
Tritt
Roloson (Brett)
Westcott
Roy
Craft
Wildauer
Hindman
Venegoni
Bakos
Borshyov
Gervais

Hesse

New Guys:

Piku
Herrington
Milburn (Reagan)
Nemec
Kungle
Hakansson
Conrad
Teleguine
Roloson (Ross)
Levandowski
Schweitzer
Bushy
Batchelder
Blanchett

There evidently are some bigger name programs trying to poach Nemec away from the Lakers, so his roster status might be questionable.

Good to see fresh faces. Hopefully leads to a much stronger year.

There will be a lot of them. The coaches are going to need to do some rebalancing over the next few years to try and get class sizes a little more even. I suspect the portal will come into play towards that end.
