Plus: Austen Swankler is transferring to Chatham, a notebook that includes Minnesota-North Dakota's new scheduling agreement, and a mailbag on Binghamton, European players, and more.
The NHL Draft Lottery was Tuesday night and the San Jose Sharks won the No. 1 overall pick and the right to draft BU freshman Macklin Celebrini in next month’s NHL Draft.
What does that mean for the future of both Celebrini and Will Smith, who the Sharks drafted with the No. 4 overall pick last season?
Plus, Austen Swankler is transferring to Chatham University. Michigan Tech coach Joe Shawhan commented.
In our notebook, Minnesota and North Dakota will continue one of college hockey’s best rivalries, Penn State flipped a big-time recruit, and a USHL team drafted UMD’s Cole Spicer.
In our mailbag, I answer questions on pro players from Europe earning NCAA eligibility and what’s the latest on potential D-I hockey at Binghamton.
