If you guys are interested, I co-hosted a podcast with Yale recruit Anthony Day and we interviewed Ken Schott of the Daily Gazette of Schenectady. We covered the tournament, made predictions, and talked Hoby Baker. Anthony had an interesting perspective being a current USHL player who played against most of the freshman in the tournament. You can find a link in my sig. Note: the first 3:11 of episode 11 has a little tech issue. we will fix tomorrow. Skip to 3:12 and its fine.
