    For those that don't use Twitter, some Stephen Anderson tweets today:

    - Pearson is in Naples for the coaches meetings
    - All ice is out in the Copper Country - Demo starts Monday
    - He'll have a hockey article in the DMG Saturday
    - Person and Walk Kyle spoke today at 1 - not finalized by NUM/Tech games in 2012/13 will likely be on Tuesdays
    - Saturdays article will be on the recruits - Copley, Phillips, Hyland, Eick, Gould, Khaira & Petan
    - OT being discussed at the convention - Perason like the 5x5 for 5 mins - 5/9 Tech OT games decided in 5 mins
    - Non-conference teams for 2013/14 and beyond interested in home and away with Tech - UMD, UW, UND, Michigan, Notre Dame
    - Tech will have all new Home/Away/Alternate uniforms, will likely unveil 1 a month between May and July - they're more throwback, NHL style
    I read the article with great interest. Quite well done by Stephen Anderson. The most important thing for me was when the coach mentioned that Gould was very creative with the puck. IMHO this is a real big deal. You don't find creative kids that often and they can make things happen even if their personal stats are not that good. A buddy of mine who coaches top soccer prospects, uses creativity as one of his most important criteria.I also liked what he said about the possibilities of Eick, and how Petan protects the puck well, something we need to do better.Overall the article spoke volumes on what we can expect next year.
    I wonder when the summer semester will start and does anyone know if these guys will be on campus for courses over the summer.? also any pictures of the rink being torn up would be welcome.

      We've been told that recruits are "creative with the puck" before. I want to watch him and judge for myself.

      I was a little surprised on the quote regarding Hyland. Pearson hyped him a little more than I expected ("A tremendous year in the [BCHL]...just starting to come into his own"), especially with four returning defensemen that he'll be trying to leapfrog for significant ice time.

        Me too. I wonder how Jimmy Davis is doing as well.

          I get the feeling that Davis will take a big step this year, though it may take another half a season. I think he played enough last year to know what he has to do to make the jump.

            The downside of Tech recruiting more talent... My hobby is going to start getting real expensive. Almost $250 for a USHL jersey? Yikes - out of my league. I'll wait a few years to get his NHL jersey for $200.

              The above page has been updated and Robinson is on it. All the seniors now hold bachelor's degrees.

              In other slow-news-month news, the new guys have numbers:

              #31 Pheonix Copley
              #18 C.J. Eick
              #22 Malcolm Gould

              #7 Jujhar Khaira
              #23 Alex Petan
              #30 Jamie Phillips

              One more tidbit: this season will be the first since 1996-97 that Tech hasn't recruited a player from Michigan.

                      Do you have any Gold jersey's for sale at all? I bought one when I was in school in I think 2006-2007 but it is a little small on me so I was wondering if you had any with your recent jersey haul from Tech. Could let you know the size needed tomorrow but IIRC I have a 58 for the Home and Away jerseys.

                        Flashy nailed part "A" of the question - the easier half considering it only happened a few years ago. Now the hard part....
                        Why did Nolan switch to #37 after wearing #35 his first season?
