The Jan. 15, 2026, episode of the PodKaz from USCHO.com has hosts Nicole Haase and Todd Milewski talking about Princeton’s 11-game winning streak. The Tigers are one win away from tying a program record, and they’ve shot to the top of ECAC Hockey.
We also look back at the first night of the Beanpot, where Harvard and Boston University won to set up their second game with a trophy on the line in January. They also played for the title of the Friendship Series in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The viral sensation of last weekend was Minnesota’s Abbey Murphy juggling the puck through the legs of a Minnesota State defender to set up a goal by Bella Fanale as the Gophers completed a home-and-home sweep. See that video here. Watch a video of Murphy breaking down the play here.
We also take a look back at results between Penn State and Mercyhurst and Minnesota Duluth’s shootout win against Wisconsin before the Badgers rebounded. The race for the NEWHA title also got tighter with last week’s results.
Nicole checks in from Nova Scotia with an update from the Under-18 Women’s World Championship, which moves into the quarterfinal round Thursday.
And we finish with a look ahead at some games to watch around NCAA women’s hockey this weekend.
