Puck Drop: Friday, November 14, 2025

• The Athletic reported that Michigan’s criticism of the Big Ten’s potential multi-billion-dollar investment deal, which those representing the school’s interests say would grant an investor status similar to a member institution while mortgaging future revenues for a short-term payout, have some in Ann Arbor questioning the future of the school’s 129-year relationship with the league.

•  Bemidji State will face Minnesota State in the annual U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Museum Women’s Face-Off Classic on, Jan. 31, 2026 at 4 p.m. CT at the Yanmar Arena in Grand Rapids, Minn.

• Former North Dakota center Shane Pinto agreed to a four-year, $30 million contract with the Ottawa Senators, one day after turning 25. He could have become a restricted free agent after this season. "It's awesome," Pinto said.

• On the recruiting front, Clarkson received a commitment from left wing Hayden Reid of the Niagara IceDogs (OHL), goaltender Leyton Rinehart of the Woodbridge Wolfpack (U18 AAA) is heading to Maine, and German defenseman Max Hense of the Trail Smoke Eaters (BCHL) is set to play at St, Lawrence.
