Lindblad Switches to Wisconsin
The Wisconsin Badgers have been pretty devastated by graduation and early departures this summer--though it would be difficult to classify any of the departures as 'unexpected'. Still, their roster needed a little extra help heading into next season, and at this time of the year, options are pretty...
Boston College is Your National Champion
I got to write the fun notebook about Boston College's win. I'll admit to not being overly familiar with Boston College coming into the weekend, but they really impressed me both on and off the ice. If he hadn't already, Jerry York continued to cement his place as one of the greatest college hockey...

This one gets top billing because it's me. I listened in on Tuesday's Frozen Four press conference--BREAKING NEWS: All four teams are "excited to be here"--and I'll be having some articles go up on CH247 about it. The first one is up about RIT. The other three should be up sometime later this week...
Thurber Suspension Upgraded From Indefinite to Infinite
Wisconsin forward Matt Thurber has been dismissed from the Wisconsin hockey team by head coach Mike Eaves. Thurber was given an indefinite suspension, after an incident that according to Madison police, involved multiple misdemeanors from an alleged domestic incident on February 8th. After...

Apologies for no posting yesterday. I'll try to catch up with a lot today and tomorrow. First thing, I don't know if anyone noticed but our tech team unveiled some cosmetic changes to all the SBN blogs this week. It's a little simpler design aimed at hopefully making this site load a little...
Boston College Hockey: Eagles in the NHL, Part 3
Christian: I’m back again for your third dose of BC hockey alumni whereabouts (here are installments 1 and 2). Seeing as how last week I had a theme (well, I really chose those guys at random, and they all turned out to be defensemen, so I went with it), I figured I’d follow up this...
Hickey Leaves Wisconsin
Andy Baggot of the Wisconsin State Journal reported yesterday that Wisconsin forward Chris Hickey will be transferring to another school, after it became apparent that he wouldn't be playing much for the Badgers. It's no surprise that he didn't play much at Wisconsin last year, since UW's coaches...
Bielema, Stone placed squarely on the hot seat
There's no way to hide the fact that most Wisconsin athletic programs failed to meet expectations this year. The most extreme case was the UW football team, which endured a disasterious 7-6 season after being ranked as high as No. 9 early in the season. This has prompted many fans to call for...
Badger's Coach Describes McDonagh As A Komisarek Clone
Robert L Note: I read this article authored by La Presse's Mathias Brunet when it was posted at Habs World two days ago. Even with the Habs great win last night, I could not get McDonagh out of my head today. I just had to share it so here is the transcription for all the non francophone speaking...
