Game picks by USCHO writers
Last week, Drew and I were both rewarded for picking the Buckeyes to sweep the Wolverines – very risky, given the fierceness of that rivalry. I managed to edge him out for the week but I’m still playing catchup after his Halloween weekend picks perfection. Last week Drew: 5-3-0 (.625) Paula: 6-2-0 (750) This season … Read more
I guess I should feel fortunate to have picked up a game on Dave. But at the same time, man have we both been awful thus far in the season. Jim last week: 6-4-2 Dave last week: 5-5-2 Jim to date: 31-25-7 Dave to date: 36-20-7 Friday and Saturday, Nov. 8-9 Connecticut vs. BC (Fri. … Read more

SHU hosts on Thursday and CHC on Friday. This … Read more
It was an outstanding opening weekend with favored wins, upsets galore and some overtime thrillers. Looking for more of the same this week as more conferences jump into league play this week raising the sense of urgency for wins and points. Last week my picks finished at 6-2-1 (.722) so off to a good start … Read more
This weekend kicks off action in women’s D-III. Writer Candace Horgan picks the winners of some of the interesting games.
While most teams are kicking off the new season with non-conference action, the SUNYAC teams will be jumping right into some key conference match-ups while there are other ranked teams looking to get a fast start early in the campaign. It is just great to have D-III hockey starting the season and it certainly looks … Read more

As we hit November, we start to get a sense of exactly where WCHA teams are at, now that they have a good chunk of their non-conference matchups out of the way. It will be interesting to see where things stand after this weekend. I had a decent first week of picks, just edging … Read more

Picking winners on the wrong night killed Matthew and I last week, and Minnesota Duluth continues to drive me insane. I almost picked them to sweep the Goofs last weekend, but was afraid I’d fall farther behind Matthew if I did after their Wisconsin series hurt me in our race. C’est la vie. Last week, … Read more
Wisconsin heads to Penn State for a spooktacular Halloween-night bout in Happy Valley tonight. Some hockey to have on in the background while passing out candy is never a bad thing. First, let’s go back to last week where I (not so humble brag) went undefeated! I even picked TWO splits the correct way, what … Read more
It’s a new week and all 10 WCHA teams are finally in action at the same time. But most importantly, I’d like to introduce my new WCHA partner, Daver Karnosky. He’ll be making picks for the first time this week and will be writing the first column next week. We’ll be going head to head … Read more
Matthew has leapfrogged me after two weeks, as I was a dreadful 2-9-1, and Matthew a more respectable 5-6-1. On the year, I am now 8-12-5 and Matthew is 10-10-5. Hey, batting .500 is good enough to start the year. Let’s see if I can recover from my awful week last week. Unfortunately, Matthew and … Read more
It didn’t take long for Drew to pull ahead of me. He picked Ohio State to sweep Omaha and I picked the teams to split – but on the wrong nights. And, of course, I was punished for picking the Lakers to sweep the Wolverines. Last week Drew: 5-5-0 (.500) Paula: 4-6-0 (.400) This season … Read more
It’s not easy to pick early-season games, despite what most think. Dave just seems to do it a lot better than Jim does.
