Looking at regional matchups, Hobey 10, Berry's unexpected departure: Season 7 Episode 24

USCHO Weekend Review

Hosts Jim Connelly (@jimmyconnelly), Derek Schooley (@derekschooley), and Ed Trefzger (@EdTrefzger) review games of the weekend and news of the week.
We begin with the unexpected firing of North Dakota head coach Brad Berry following his team's loss in the NCHC semifinals. The discussion highlights Berry's impressive career and the pressures inherent in coaching at North Dakota. We then shift focus to the NCAA Men's Division I Tournament, analyzing each regional matchup and sharing insights on top teams, players, and possible upsets. We also discuss the Hobey Baker Award top 10, debating snubs and standout players. And Ed goes on an unusual (for him) rant.
