(#424) Final Frozen Four thoughts, Muckalt to Lindenwood

Plus: Princeton is getting close to naming a new head coach

Denver has won the national championship, which concluded the 2023-24 season on Saturday night in Saint Paul.

We took a short two-day break here, but now the 2024-25 season begins.

This issue has final thoughts on the Frozen Four, including what happened in the game, specific thoughts on Denver, and more takeaways from last week’s State of the Game press conference.

Lindenwood is set to hire Bill Muckalt. I think it’s a slam-dunk hire. I’ll explain in this issue.

Finally, Princeton is getting closer to hiring a head coach.

I am going to get back into updating all of our transfer portal stuff today. The Frozen Four took priority last week. But I’m going to get that updated and our next issue will have write-ups on all of the portal commitments and notable portal entries.
