We'll talk to ECAC Hockey Media Association honcho Ken Schott of the Schenectady Daily Gazette to get his impressions on the coming ECAC season to be, and maybe get his impression of the second straight summer with no off-season. Since we'll be on the air scant hours following Notre Dame's big announcement, we'll talk to him about the big Hockey East scuttlebutt as well. The Engineers face off with a new opponent this week when Minnesota State comes to town. To get you up to speed with the Mavericks, we figured there'd be no one better than their local beat writer, Shane Frederick of the Mankato Free Press. We'll ask Shane what to expect with MSU-M, and find out what's in store in the WCHA this year.
