Weekend Preview: Huge Pairwise matchups in Hockey East; Battle of Michigan headlines B10

I’m in Buffalo this weekend, traveling with my son for a youth hockey tournament, so this is an abbreviated weekend preview.

I’ll be back on Monday with a full Pairwise breakdown. In addition, there’s a lot of NCAA news to cover, including the strong possibility that the NCAA will begin allowing five years of eligibility. A judge ruled yesterday that NIL is subject to Title IX.

I’m getting reactions on those topics from members of the college hockey community this weekend, and I will have more in Monday’s newsletter.
