College Hockey Today

Our final episode of 2025 delves into first-half chaos, much-needed rest for the Independent teams, Holy Cross and Bentley duking it out, Trey Augustine leveling up during Big Ten play, Josh Kotai anchoring Augustana, ECAC teams in the at-large picture, UNH surging, and North Dakota's Jan Špunar making school history. Plus, World Juniors, Spengler Cup, and what Schloss is hearing about midseason roster additions.
