Weekend Review: State of Michigan is college hockey’s biggest hotbed, early season scoring is up

Hosts Jim Connelly, Derek Schooley, and Ed Trefzger review games of the weekend and news of the past week.

The discussion starts with a look at three teams from the state of Michigan doing well: Michigan State’s rise to the No. 1 spot in the polls after sweeping Boston University on the road, plus Western Michigan and Michigan, both off to strong starts.

Discussions extend to analyzing the scoring trends in early-season games, the impact of special teams and officiating, and the promise shown by teams like Augustana, Quinnipiac, and Minnesota Duluth.

The episode closes with a preview of the upcoming “Schooley Bowl” between Robert Morris and Delaware where Derek Schooley’s daughters will compete against each other.
