Mailbag for this week's HockeyCast
Hello everyone! David and I will be taping a new HockeyCast tomorrow and given that the team is now on a break, we're doing a mailbag. If you have any questions for the show tomorrow that you want answered about any topic, Michigan Hockey 2020-21, the program, Mel, the B1G, the sport of hockey, etc., send them our way! You can either post here or tweet at us (@Alex_Drain / @NastyIsland) and we will try and get to as many as possible. Thanks!

If you had to rob a bank, would you rather have Red or Mel as your get away driver?
December 20th, 2020 at 5:53 PM ^
i think red is way more river boat gambler, more high strung, likely to make a better getaway driver.

Whatever happened to John giordano, the guy that drove our team into the dirt after Coach Ferrell stepped down in 1980. Same question for Wilf Martin, who coached us for about 15 minutes until giordano took over during my freshman year (1980-81).
how did our kids do this year in the juniors tournament? What’s your prediction about how we’ll do with the team back together?
Rank the B10 conference
is Illinois really going to get hockey or did Covid scuttle that too?
what school, if any, is the next to join the B10?
predictions on who our highest scorer, MVP, and defensive MVP will be

The World Juniors question will be difficult for them to answer tomorrow considering the tournament doesn’t start until Christmas Day
December 20th, 2020 at 5:25 PM ^
thank you, but then how come those kids missed our last couple of series, or do i have that wrong?
December 20th, 2020 at 5:38 PM ^
They missed the Minnesota series because of USA WJC camp.

They only missed the Minnesota series. They missed it because of the pre-tournament selection camp though. Which actually got moved up a couple days from its original date or else they would have been able to play against Minnesota.
December 20th, 2020 at 5:40 PM ^
Will the guys on the WJC roster play the msu series?
I feel like normally the World Juniors kids miss that weekend, but with the tournament being in North America and the GMG on 1/5/21, that seems like enough time for them to play against sparty, no?
(See what I did there?)
Anyway, if you lot are privvy to that information, I'd love to know. It would definitely be nice to be full strength against them.

How long should we expect some of our youngest talent to stick around? Are they 1 and done, 4 year fixtures, or something in-between? On that same line of thought, how long does it usually take for a college team like ours to gel and find its stride?
How have you avoided paying royalties to ESPN and Nintendo for using their audio?

What does next year's recruiting class look like?

What does next year's recruiting class look like?
Which of this year's frosh might stay another year?
December 20th, 2020 at 8:50 PM ^
For the WJC, what should we be watching out for?
Which recruits should we pay attention to in the USHL and other leagues?

Double post, damn it.
