2010 NHL Draft

Technically, there was only one non-committed skater selected in the draft... forward Tanner Lane from Detroit Lakes HS in Minnesota. Tanner was said to be interested in the University of Minnesota, St. Cloud State University, and the University of Nebraska-Omaha (the latter of which he committed to the day after I initially entered this post).

EDIT: It turns out there WAS another uncommitted skater taken in the draft besides Tanner Lane. Bloomington-Jefferson HS defenseman Joe Faust recently committed to Wisconsin. He was originally committed to Princeton, but for whatever reason, he recinded that commitment and ended up committing to the Badgers.

NCAA Rules Committee

Sorry I haven't posted for a while, I'll try to find time to post a Hot 10 list in the near future. In the meantime, I think this is an important enough issue for me to join the chorus. Please let the NCAA Rules Committee know how you feel about calling icing on the shorthanded team. The emails of the committee can be found at the first link below...
