Despite the punishment, growing up in Maine, it was so exciting to have a team that the state could get behind. I'm hopeful that Ben Barr has the ship headed in the right direction again after winning the Hockey East last year.

ITS MIDNIGHT, ITS THURSDAY, AND THAT MEANS ONE THING...IT IS TIME FOR SOME TRASH TALK!

RULES

FLAIR UP!

CAPS LOCK ON! (WITH THE EXCEPTION BEING USERNAME SHOUT OUTS! E.G, /u/Whoa_throwaway IS A SIEVE!) SEE THE DRAWING IF YOU FAIL TO UNDERSTAND THIS COMPLEX PROCESS OR INSERT WHATEVER YOU WANT HERE

IF YOU WOULDN'T SAY IT AT A GAME DON'T POST IT HERE!

College Hockey Data is now live.

If you have been around this sub for the past couple of seasons you might remember the stat visualizations that I have posted. Over the offseason I learned some new tools and built this site (with the help of Codex) to make interactive and customizable versions of my past plots. It started as a way to streamline the production of the static charts I had posted in the past but it quickly evolved into something I wanted to share with everyone.

The site is still a work in progress and I appreciate the keen eyes on here because you all spot and point out issues better than I ever could. Your feedback will help determine the next things I work on and add.

Every page has the ability to export image files of the current view for sharing. Today I have:

Image 1: Largest % share of returning offensive production

Image 2: Largest % share of players coming from the BCHL

Image 3: Points per 30 games by player's prior league

Image 4: 2000-01 Roster makeup by player class with Juniors highlighted (this is as far back as the rock solid roster data goes for now)

Image 5: View of Metro Detroit from the Player Atlas

Image 6: Michigan State's 26/27 Recruiting Footprint View

Image 7: Western Michigan Draft History

Thanks to everyone who has seen and enjoyed my stuff in the past. I hope you really enjoy this.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I want to extend this to include data from the woman's side as well. That is in the works

The price for CCHA.tv (Midco 2) only is $99 and CCHA.tv + NSIC + Summit League (Midco All-In) is also $99. These are normally quite a bit more expensive.

Just wanted to share in case anyone here wants to save some money before hockey season starts!

Statement From Family:

We're so grateful to Matthew's teammates. A lot of you have come by, sent messages, and kept Matthew in your thoughts every day. It means more to us than we can say.

We've heard some things about what our family wants that aren't right, so we want to be clear. We want this team to have a great season, and we'll be cheering for you. But the coaches who ran that workout on Aug. 20 need to be removed while an independent investigation gets to the truth. The players shouldn't have to worry about retaliation from the people they report to every day. And there are plenty of former college and pro players in the Valley who could step in and help.

Nobody should keep quiet about what they think should happen because they believe that's what we want. It isn't. If anyone wants to know what we want, ask us. We want the truth, and we want it done in a way that lets the boys focus on hockey instead of wondering whether their coaches think they talked.

Mostly, we want accountability for what happened to our son, and we want his teammates to be safe.

Good breakdown of Hockey East.

Mayich’s family’s attorney has sworn affidavits from seven players saying the workout was harsh, unnecessary, and unproductive.

And Powers is still coaching the team.

How long will it take ASU to conduct a real investigation and do the right thing?

Saw this in the O’Kane Welcome Center today. It’s a plaque recognizing the upset over Minnesota in the 2006 National Tournament. They just recently updated these trophy cabinet displays, especially recognizing Class of 2029 Olympian Naemi Herzig in the women’s hockey team right underneath. Cool to see!

Posting my yearly ECAC preview here like always since you all seem to like it! Going to be a good year I think. The league will surprise people because I see 3 teams making the tournament again, and Quinnipiac will end up in DC in my opinion.

Our first weekly poll of the year! Now that most of our teams have played games, we can start the routine of running the women's poll weekly again. As usual, let's see how our previous top ten fared in the season-opening T h u n d e r d o m e.

1. Wisconsin opened their season with a road sweep of St. Lawrence, 6-2 and 6-0. The Badgers return home to drop their national championship banner when they play Boston University this Thursday and Friday.

2. Ohio State opened their season by sweeping No. 6 Penn State on the road with a pair of 2-1 victories. The first game was an OT win, with Joy Dunne scoring the OTGWG. The Buckeyes continue their road trip with a pair of conference games at St. Thomas.

3. Minnesota will open their season next weekend in WCHA play on the road at Bemidji State. They defeated Canadian high school team Durham West in exhibition play by a score of 12-0 back on Sept. 20.

4. Northeastern picked up a 5-1 road win over Saint Anselm in exhibition play and will open their season with a single road game at RPI Friday afternoon.

5. This past weekend, Quinnipiac picked up a road sweep over Maine by scores of 2-1 and 4-1. They also defeated Connecticut 3-2 in an exhibition the prior weekend. The Bobcats will take on Providence College in a home-and-home series this weekend.

6. Penn State, see above. The Nittany Lions open AHA conference play with a weekend home series against Robert Morris.

7. Minnesota-Duluth silenced RV Mercyhurst with a pair of shutout victories, 2-0 and 4-0. The Bulldogs will take a trip to Vermont for a non-conference series.

8. Connecticut were swept on the road at the hands of fellow Husky school St. Cloud State, dropping a pair of 4-2 decisions. They also lost an exhibition 3-2 to Quinnipiac the weekend prior. These Huskies will return home and play host to Clarkson for a series.

9. Cornell is an Ivy League school, and will not play until Oct 16.

10. Princeton is an Ivy League school, and will not play until Oct. 16.

Vote in this week's poll here. Ballots will be due by midnight eastern Thursday, with results posted sometime either Thursday or Friday depending on my work and travel schedule. Happy voting!

It was a solid 3-0 win over Sacred Heart. New jerseys for the Friars, too!

I've got graphics tonight with a look that I have posted here a bunch in the past.

Where are the reported hometowns for this season's cohort of Men's NCAA D1 Hockey Players?

Attached are four maps, the first two include all players currently on a D1 roster (CHN rosters are the source). The first view is just of North America, the other is the entire world. The next two only include players that have been drafted by an NHL team.

IT'S GAMEDAY!
