Lake State Lakers (2025-26)

It will be weird to see the Lakers without the anchor on the front of the jersey this season.

My first impression is that I'm not crazy about it. I don't care for the look. I'll wait to see what it actually looks like on a player in full uniform, both white and blue jerseys. Not very distinctive compared to the more traditional Laker anchor jerseys.

This ranks up there with New Coke. You have one of the most recognizable and respected sweaters in college hockey with the anchor, and you bench it for this?

It will be unreadable in game video too. Major fail.

It's obvious to say, but boy it would be great for LSSU to have a Sault, Ontario kid as its star.

apparently Mangone and the other Sault, Ontario kid Adam Barone are childhood friends and youth hockey teammates. in the second game Barone assisted on both of his goals, coach mentioned theyre having fun reuniting. id guess Barone was part of the recruitment effort.

i think you guys are also inheriting a bunch of Saginaw Spirit fans, not only having two of their recent graduates but being in the same state (other Saginaw alum are at DU and UVM). lots of comments on team socials from spirit fans, even saw someone mentioning they're bringing a saginaw youth team to a game this month to see them. most CHL teams do a lot of community outreach, but hosting (and winning) the Mem Cup in 2024 boosted the attachment to that year's team.

That's great to hear and great for Lake State to get exposure in Saginaw. Hopefully that can translate to not just hockey, but also the university itself. The low enrollment always concerns me. Lake State needs that love throughout Michigan and Northern Ontario.
