(#314) Vermont will hire two assistants; preseason previews begin

Hello, and thanks for spending part of your day with College Hockey Insider.

Topics from today’s newsletter (#314) include:

— I begin my team-by-team preview of the 2023-24 season. Just like last season, I’m previewing teams in reverse order, 64-1, in what I’ve determined to be my preseason rankings. My rankings are based on where I believe a team will finish in the Pairwise. I did pretty well with this last year (way better than I thought), and was within five spots on more than half the teams in the country.

Today, we begin with teams 64-62.

— More info on the situation at Vermont. UVM AD Jeff Schulman confirmed to College Hockey Insider that the school will hire two assistants to fill out Steve Wiedler’s staff alongside Scott Moser. Could that be good news for Wiedler’s long-term future?

— Todd Woodcroft participated in development camp with the Florida Panthers last week as a guest coach. The Panthers said that they were not aware of the investigation at Vermont.
