There was a pretty good ad campaign from the NHL last season (not sure if it’s still running), throwing out the rhetorical question, “Is this the year?” It was to get you thinking about the possibilities, and the fact that you never know when there’s going to be a record set. Spinning that line toward … Read more

As I stared at the legal pad on which I detail how the teams in last week’s USCHO.com/CBS College Sports poll fared last week, the debate in my head went something like this: Point: Air Force has the best record in the country. Counterpoint: Who have the Falcons played? Point: They’re leading all the number-driven … Read more

Comley would like to see the games between Big Ten teams Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota and Wisconsin moved away from the Thanksgiving weekend, when attendance is off. “I think they’re prime games and they should be played at … Read more

You have to give Air Force credit. They’ve played 11 games and won them all. That being said, it’s hard to put the Falcons near the top of the college hockey rankings yet because of a factor that, admittedly, is mostly out of their control. They haven’t yet played a team with a winning record, … Read more

With Minnesota losing a 2-0 lead in the third period today at Mariucci Arena, the top 10 teams in this week’s USCHO.com/CBS College Sports poll went 2-5-3 in their opening games of the weekend.

One of these days, you might not recognize the MacInnes Student Ice Arena anymore. A few years back, the Michigan Tech program added a new locker room complex to its venerable facility and added onto the press box. OK, not the most noticeable things, but certainly appreciated by players and the media. This season, the … Read more

Many other people knew Jim White better than I did. The great thing about him was that he’d never let you know that. White, a longtime off-ice official at Denver and a college hockey afficionado, passed away Thursday after an illness. I met White a few years back as part of the visiting media corps … Read more
