A few random items

• I'd expect the full Badger Men's roster to be available soon, as departed players/staff have been removed and the bios of returning players have been updated.

• I don't think we posted this yet; my apologies if we have. A week or so ago, the Omaha Lancers released their 2009-10 protected list. On the list, is future Badger Tyler Lapic. (Thanks to The World of Junior Hockey for the heads-up.)
  
  DPlaya previous reported that Jefferson Dahl and Cody Strang are on Mahoning Valley's protected list, and that Jordan Schmaltz and Matt Paape are on Sioux City's futures list.

• DPlaya tells us that Hayward's Hannah Turnbull, Wisconsin's 2009 Miss Hockey, will be going to Mankato, where she'll participate in track and field (on a scholarship) and hockey. DPlaya's post also talks a bit about other WIAA players who have made the jump to DI hockey, including Hudson's Sam Turner, Onalaska's Ashley Paulsen, and Fondy/Waupun's Missy Schleicher.

• Hmmm, it appears that Donald of the UAA Blog doesn't really like the WCHA . . .

• I know it's old news, but some of the comments in this thread about Finley/Frattin are really funny . . .
