The U.S. Collegiate Selects will travel to Davos, Switzerland this December to compete in the Spengler Cup. Ten players have already been named to the roster, and today’s issue (#602) features my picks for the final 16 spots.

Also in this issue:

— The NCAA released a statement defending the eligibility of former professional players, following pointed criticism last week from Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo.

— Coaching updates from the USHL, Notre Dame, and Division III Hiram College.

— An update on NCAA coaches gaining access to CHL games.
