(#325) Eiserman decommits from Minnesota, will play in New England

Cole Eiserman is one of the top recruits in next year’s incoming class. He decommitted from Minnesota and wants to play college hockey closer to home. I have reporting on the story, plus where I believe Eiserman will end up.

Also in this issue:

• Former BGSU forward Austen Swankler committed to Michigan Tech earlier this week.

• I preview teams 46-44 in my preseason rankings. This issue has in-depth analysis on Niagara, Sacred Heart, and RPI

• A recruiting update, including a decommit from Wisconsin and a recent UMass decommit finding a new home. Plus, eight new commitments.

• A college hockey notebook on a Sacred Heart-AIC benefit game, the NCAA rules committee, and a renewed streaming deal for Atlantic Hockey.
