    Yale 2025-26

    Seven incoming first-years are welcomed this week! Looks like the non-conference schedule has shaped up - visible thanks to the schedule document: Fri Oct 17 - Sat Oct 18 Robert Morris Tue Nov 4 at 6PM at St. Anselm Tue Nov 25 at 1PM at Princeton (repeat of last year's non-conference now at...

    ECAC 2025-26

    The ECAC conference schedule is out (composite schedule, with some non-conference games). No coaches' poll yet for the "projected" standings, but the hockey is around the next corner (or two). Who is looking like they will be good? Last season was a bit of a surprise I think regarding Cornell...

    Yale 2025-26

    The season is just over two-ish months away, and so it's time for a new thread! The compiler of the useful schedule document available on the 25/26 Schedules thread made the interesting find that Ivy League teams can play one more game this year than previous years. They are allowed 8...

    25/26 Schedules

    Wow, this is really useful - thanks. Yeah, it feels like Mercyhurst tends to play a great non-conference schedule, as does Penn State! I think last season Penn State's non-conference schedule was aggressive much like this. And then these two teams end up in the AHA championship game repeatedly.

    2024-25 PWHL season

    Thanks for the report about the new softball league, Lindsay. Looks exciting. I hadn't heard much about it before but also do not watch much TV, so was missing that mode of diffusion that you refer to. I found just one Athletic article on the new league; so, yes, they really don't seem to be...

    2024-25 PWHL season

    PWHL free agency reopens this morning. Remaining free agents include the following Unrestricted Free Agents, I think, (plus some players drafted last year - RFAs - and many drafted in the expansion draft and entry draft 2025): Boston Fleet: Kelly Babstock (F), Jillian Dempsey (F), Loren Gabel...

    2024-25 PWHL season

    It sounds like Natalie Buchbinder was a stay-at-home D both at Wisconsin and for the Minnesota Frost, and she seems like a staple of the league. Maybe Chayla Edwards not being picked is largely because of her not playing last season. Another D, Kate Reilly (Quinnipiac '24), was top 2 or 3 in...

    2024-25 PWHL season

    My "mock" entry draft of a few days ago definitely over-drafted on defense.... That list had 6 D (C. Edwards, Poniatovskaia, Philbert, Yovetich, Kettyle, and Muhn), 4 F (Hunt, Boucher, Neitzke and Vekich), and 1 G (Warrener) who were not drafted, while the draft had 2 D (Giaquinto and Becker), 7...

Via The Ice Garden - Michelle Jay Round 1 New York - Kristýna Kaltounková, Forward, Colgate University Boston - Haley Winn, Defender, Clarkson University New York (traded Ella Shelton to acquire Toronto's 3rd and 27th pick) - Casey O’Brien, Forward, University of Wisconsin...

    2024-25 PWHL season

    True - the fact that the teams need some players on minimum contracts goes to the advantage of the rookies, and the disadvantage of veterans. Given the jobs that the league is adding with its expansion, though, it feels as though fewer players will retire than "usual" in the past. So, the...

    2024-25 PWHL season

    Though I also didn't follow NCAA D1 this past season as much as a couple years ago, I do have some thoughts. I think that there are certain players from college that the teams will be excited to sign ahead of most of the remaining free agents. Many of them have national team experience - as...

    2024-25 PWHL season

    PWHL Signings Tracker on The Ice Garden Oddly enough, Ottawa is the only team not to have signed or extended any free agents. They have a very small roster for next season so far. Even NY has signed Jincy Roese to their blue line and extended Taylor Girard at forward. Players who still may be...

    2024-25 PWHL season

    I'm glad that you enjoy the updates. I enjoy tracking what's happening in the league, and hearing what everyone thinks when you write here, too. Wishing I was seeing more NY games. It is a 2-3 hour commute to Newark, NJ depending on traffic. It seems like recent growth in girls' hockey, at a...

    Hailey Salvian wrote in The Athletic that as of the expansion draft night, Vancouver and Seattle have received more than 10,000 season-ticket deposits total, per the PWHL. The league also announced this week that free agency for players on expiring contracts will open on Monday 6/16 at 9am ET...
