Okay, so, I’ve been digging into this whole NCAA men’s hockey portal thing lately, and let me tell you, it’s been a ride. I started off just wanting to see what the big deal was. I mean, you hear about it all the time, right? This “transfer portal” that everyone’s talking about. So, I fired up my computer, and I was like, “Alright, let’s do this.”
First thing I did was just a simple search: “NCAA men’s hockey portal.” Boom. A ton of stuff came up, mostly about scores and schedules. I was like, “Okay, that’s cool, but not exactly what I’m looking for.” Then I found this one page that was all about players moving around, you know, transferring. That was more like it.
I started clicking around, trying to figure out how this whole thing works. I found out that this portal thing isn’t open to the public. I was thinking, “Well, that’s a bummer.” But then I read a little more and realized it’s probably for the best. Imagine all the craziness if everyone could see who’s going where, right?
Diving Deeper
So, I kept at it, trying to piece things together. I found some cool stuff, like these videos of some amazing saves. There was this one goalie, Matt Davis, who was insane! He made like 67 saves in a couple of games. I was glued to my screen, watching these highlights. It was pretty wild.
- Scores and Schedules: First things I looked into were scores from the games.
- Player Transfers: Then I focused on how players move between schools.
- Selection Process: Tried to get a grip on how teams are picked for tournaments.
- Top Performers: Looked up who’s leading in different stats, that was neat.
I also stumbled upon this thing about which schools use the portal the most. Turns out, some schools are all over it, bringing in a bunch of new players, while others barely touch it. It got me thinking about all the strategy that must go into this.
Wrapping My Head Around It
Honestly, the more I looked into it, the more complicated it seemed. But also, the more interesting it got. It’s not just about the games; it’s about the players, the teams, the strategies, everything. I realized that this transfer portal is a big part of the whole college hockey scene.
By the end of it, I felt like I had a pretty good grasp on what this NCAA men’s hockey portal is all about. It was a lot of clicking, a lot of reading, and a lot of watching awesome hockey highlights. But, you know what? I enjoyed it. I learned a lot, and I’ve got a whole new appreciation for college hockey now. It was definitely time well spent, even if I did go down a few rabbit holes along the way. And hey, who doesn’t love a good rabbit hole, right?
So, I did all of this just by searching on my computer. Pretty cool, right? It made me feel like I had actually done something. If you’re into hockey, or even if you’re just curious, I’d say go check it out. It’s a whole world in there.
