Great season finale with John King. Thanks for another great season of hockey talks throughout the season @jupiter and @eric-vegoe
A side note on the discussion during OT and Jess chimed in, "the future of college hockey is Iowa" Can we not? Yes, the infrastructure is there but the true demand for hockey or more hockey is not there in that state. The idea that either Iowa or Iowa State would elevate their club teams in the near future is just laughable. Iowa State would never do it, that athletic department is on the edge of budget shortfalls annually. Iowa just added women's wrestling so I don't see them messing with their budget for 5-10 years. With the Caitlin Clark effect just ending I see a full court press to keep women's BB going and elevating men's BB as a focus for new AD Beth Goetz. I just don't see her expanding her department into the college hockey realm anytime soon.
I am the official Iowa Hawkeye football fan of GPL!
