I'll admit I was pretty excited yesterday when I heard Doug Gilmour would be taking over coaching the Kingston Frontenacs, just because I wanted to see Out of Left Field's reaction. It didn't disappoint. Watching Kingston from afar is like following a good sitcom.

Incidentally, since we only ever hear about CHL success stories, I will point out that in looking over the Fronts roster, there are more than a couple guys--Kelly Geoffrey, Jesse Brown, Matt Kang--that would have been better served taking college offers when they came their way.

Practice is getting underway for the Minnesota boy's high school hockey season. The Rochester Post-Bulletin's Faceoff blog started breaking down the teams in the Queen City of Minnesota. Rochester Mayo looks pretty good despite losing Charlie Thauwald to junior hockey. Century still has the best fight song in the city, though.

Tickets go on sale this week for The Rocky Mountain Face-Off between Colorado State and Colorado's club team, as CSU tries to raise money to start a Division I hockey program. CSU starting a program would be interesting to see.

Denver's Tyler Bozak is having a good year.

Western Michigan's Kevin Connauton is quietly having a pretty good season. Having a positive +/- rating on Western's team is no small feat.

The Blog That Yost Built's Tim Williams got interviewed in an article about Michigan recruit Jack Campbell.
