A lot of votes will help from the LP of Michigan. Mickey Redmond announced during Red Wings broadcast to vote for Lakeview in the UP. May get help in votes from the large population down there.

Jeff Blashill, John Keating & Justin Abdelkader all Tweeted it out.

Guess again! Thanks so much to all who cast their votes. We couldn't have done it without you!

Thank you davyd83 and congratulations. It will be nice to see Lakeview to get some of the much needed renovations. It's kind of a bummer though that the Red Wings won't play the preseason game at Marquette. Still a preseason game there is better than nothing.

Jimmy Dowd Jr was selected by Omaha in the 4th round of the USHL Phase 1 Draft (00 birth dates) last night. It would be nice if we could land him as a future recruit. Maybe his dad could help steer him our way. :-)

In Phase 2 of the USHL Draft today, Lakers commit Chase Pilawski was selected by Waterloo and Lakers commit Dustin Manz was selected by Sioux City. Both have previously signed tenders with Aston of the NAHL for next season, but potentially they could wind up in the USHL instead.

The WCHA said on their Twitter that it should be out mid month which means it should be late next week or early the week after.

Sounds good. Thank you for checking.

In the deciding game of a USHL semifinal series last night, Tri-City defeated Waterloo 5-3. Max Humitz had a goal for Tri-City and Collin Saccoman had a goal for Waterloo.

Looks like the Lakers will play at Michigan Thanksgiving weekend.

They are and it confirms the Lakers backed out of Notre Dame's Shillelagh tournament. It will be the first time since 2010 that the Lakers will not play at home Thanksgiving weekend.

Dont know if this was posted yet, but Luke Morgan was not listed as one of the returners for Cedar Rapids next season.

Looks like he is headed for LSSU. He was listed as a tweener.......16 or 17.

High energy forward and extremely speedy. He was great on the Cedar Rapids 1st line PK unit.

Got to see him play this year. Solid player. Another year of junior would be very beneficial, but in order to get a kid like this, sometimes you've got to take him a year early. Nice pick up for LSSU.

Yes, he's heading for the Lakers this Fall. His goal has been to start playing college hockey this coming season. He's a very bright kid academically and I think he was getting some interest from Ivy league schools after he initially committed to the Lakers. I think the Laker coaches would have been happy to see him play another season with Cedar Rapids but they didn't want to risk losing him to an Ivy school so he will be with the Lakers this Fall. They feel he is ready to play at this level.
