I'm only kind of joking here. Where would Simon Benoit have ended up if he was here for the T25U25 vote? Above, below, or in between Conor Timmins and Timothy Liljegren? You tell me. What kind of blurb would you write for this player?

Speaking of Liljegren, he came in second in our T25U25. Unanimously, I might add.

2023 Top 25 Under 25: Timothy Liljegren is 2nd
Liljegren is only one of two players eligible for this list who is a regular NHL player, but he’s also young enough that people still think that maybe he can still improve. Come see the debate about how good an NHLer he is, and if he can get better!

Here is how the PWHL looks at the moment. Only the New York signings are left unofficial. I'll have an article out later this morning going into what this week was in more depth.

Leafs prospect Mike Koster, who went unranked in our T25U25, is captain of Minnesota's NCAA Men's hockey team.

Nikita Grebyonkin (ranked 12th in our T25U25, and 4th by Brian!) scored his first KHL goal of the season.

The Traverse City tournament is inching ever-closer.

18 years definitely feels long overdue for a promotion. Congratulations to Jennifer!

I'm too young to know any Dany Heatley memes. Anyone got any good ones?
