You and me both!
Only 59 days (58 if you count the blue/white game) to go until the season starts.
Seems as if the seasons are coming faster and faster and I am not sure if that is a fair trade off as my age seems to be happening faster and faster as well .

Re: LSSU Lakers 2015 off-season thread
Thanks for the offer. I am an out of towner, so stopping in the office was not really an option for me.
I was trying to use the online system. Not sure if I created the online account with a different email then I used to buy the tickets last year or not, but I did not have the option to renew on the online system.
I was just buying 1 ticket, so I just bought a different seat in the section by my family/friends for the season.
You sure can. Stop in and see Linda and her crew or if you have provided the ticket office with an email last year you can login online to renew. I can also help you out if needed. Just give me a call.

Looks like Laker recruit Bryan Basilico will be in Chicago to start the season.

Re: LSSU Lakers 2015 off-season thread
He's a guy who pretty much all of the recruiting sites had initially pegged to be with the Lakers this upcoming season, but I've had a feeling that he might play one more season of Juniors. The Lakers have a lot of prospects lined up and obviously the 94 birth date guys had to come in this Fall. There's only so much scholarship money to go around and I'm not surprised that one of the 95 guys has slipped to the 2016-17 season.

Re: LSSU Lakers 2015 off-season thread
I noticed that his birthdate is 1/27/95. Since he will turn 21 during next season, doesn't that hurt is NCAA eligibility in some fashion? I remember talk of Defiel's eligibility being hurt because of playing in juniours after turning 21.

Re: LSSU Lakers 2015 off-season thread
I don't know the details of the rules, but I think as long as he's enrolled in classes in some form or fashion when he turns 21, he can keep his full eligibility. I assume that could even be something like taking classes at a junior college. I don't think Defiel was enrolled in classes when he turned 21 his last year of juniors and thus he lost a year of eligibility.I noticed that his birthdate is 1/27/95.

That's the way it sounded to me at the radio show when Coach Whitten explained it Bill.

It looks like Aubry is leaving LSSU to be a goaltending coach for the Chicago Blackhawks organization. Not a bad gig, but that's a big blow to the Lakers since it looks like he's an NHL level coach.

He must be legit if the Stanley Cup Champions are hiring him. I'm guessing Damon will do his due diligence and find a suitable replacement. Apparently he has an eye for coaching talent as well.

Probably???? Working for Wall Mart would pay more than LSSU! Good Luck Pete!

Definitely a blow to the Lakers, but I'm happy for Pete and I wish him luck. Hopefully Damon can find another great assistant coach.

From now on Look for weekly interviews with LSSU Hockey Coaches, Players, and staff on Eagle 95.1.
Here is our first interview with Coach Whitten.

Re: LSSU Lakers 2015 off-season thread
Great interview, thanks for sharing. Whitten never really answered the question of how many freshman were being brought in, though. He did mention Hayes, Headrick, McArdle, and Kossoff by name. If you look at the other recruits with '94 birthdays and solid junior seasons already, we could be seeing up to 11 new players wearing the anchor this season possibly Cuglietta, Hand, Henke, Hultz, Karty, Nellis, and Torrel (all forwards). It will be interesting to see how the roster will look, and if any other veteran players left early.

Re: LSSU Lakers 2015 off-season thread
Good call, Bill, I forgot about Nenadal. With his '94 birthdate and USHL experience he'll definitely be here this season. I'm still surprised that Headrick is coming in this year. I would have liked to have seen him play in the NAHL or BCHL for a season before making the jump to D-1. Either that was a condition of his commitment, or the coaching staff really wants to get him quarterbacking the power play this season.

Re: LSSU Lakers 2015 off-season thread
I think ideally the coaches would have liked to see Headrick play in the USHL/BCHL/NAHL for a season, but he was an OHL draft pick of the Erie Otters and I think there may have been some concern about him changing his mind and going that route. I think he really wanted to play with the Lakers this coming season and the coaches decided to go along with that rather than risk losing him to the OHL. I think Erie has been trying to get him to change his mind and go with them.Good call, Bill, I forgot about Nenadal. With his '94 birthdate and USHL experience he'll definitely be here this season.
