INCH posted their Preseason All-Americans today. Jordan Schroeder, Ian Cole, and Chay Genoway were the west players on the first team.

INCH also posted their Top 15 recruiting classes. Ranking classes is tough since since class size can vary so much from team to team. Is a team that brings in two really good players that fill a need better or worse than a 7 or 8 man class with a bunch of pretty good players? Anyway, Notre Dame earns the top spot.

Minnesota State's goaltending situation is still wide open. All three goalies will get a period in the team's exhibition game.

Alaska-Anchorage is trying to get bigger to counteract the skill of the rest of the league.

Mark Seidel posted his top 50 prospects for the 2010 NHL Draft, which is, uh, pretty bad. Six out of the 7 Americans listed play with the NTDP(including Matt Nieto who isn't even eligible for this year's draft). I suspect you'll start seeing some other names from elsewhere in the US pop up as the season moves on.
