(#330) Week 1 Reactions: Highlighting players and teams from across all six leagues

Today’s issue begins with my weekend reactions around college hockey. I have reactions from every single conference, including the return of Robert Morris, Bentley battling with BU, Michigan’s goalie situation, St. Thomas’ big weekend, BC’s win over Quinnipiac, and a lot more.

Plus, I reviewed the tape on two controversial players this weekend: the hit on Collin Graf in the BC-Quinnipiac game and the hit on Mason Nevers in the Minnesota-Bemidji State exhibition game.

We take a look at the latest commitments, including an ‘07 forward to UMass Lowell and other players to Air Force, Army, Colgate, and Union.

Finally, a notebook with some links to interesting outside stories, college hockey alums making NHL rosters, and RIT-Notre Dame this weekend.
