Today’s issue leads off with a preview of the Manchester Regional, including a look at Providence’s leadership paving the way, Denver’s staff consistency being key, Bentley leaning on Connor Hasley, and how BC dealt with the two-week break.

Also in today’s issue (#548)

• A transfer portal update, including the portal entries of ASU goalie Gibson Homer and LIU defenseman Cade Mason. Subscribers have a link to our 2025 Transfer Portal Tracker, which not only lists all players but ranks them using a metric that’s weight for SOS.

• Ferris State is very close to announcing a new head coach. One candidate has emerged as the favorite, and there are rumblings an announcement could come as soon as the next few days.
