Eagles off to a 3-1 start following the Cold Turkey Shootout in Toledo where they took 3rd place. Wins over BG, Northview, and split with St. Francis.

Is the St. Edward Athletic Department planning on eventually going the PREP route like Saint Ignatius? It’s has its advantages in retaining student players who would otherwise play on a club team to get more looks from scouts and recruiters. Only problem is the schedule requires you to be on the road way more than home. I’m surprised that Eds has not done this already to keep up with the Wildcats.
I doubt it. The expense alone is something that would deter going that route. Hiring a new coach was a step and I'm sure in that process they were going to see what his long term vision was, part of that would be how you compete with and beat St. Ignatius, win state championships and continue to have a healthy hockey program. Huge win for the Eagles last night, 4-2 against Holy Name.

Eagles finish third at the Padua Christmas Tornament over the weekend going 2-0-2, with two wins against St. John's and ties against O-Liberty and St. Charles. The Columbus-area programs have really come a long way from a decade ago.
I would say its been a solid start to this season, team looks really promising outside of a tough loss to the Wildcats last weekend. They've pretty much played the best in the state and have done well in some out of state tourney's. Even with the 5-0 loss to Ignatius, they were there through 2 periods.

Read Norm Weber's recap of the Gilmour game. Outshot them 28-12, but lost 5-1. Great conversion rate for the Lancers, and awful for us. Sounds correctable though.Split weekend with a 7-3 win over US where they honored the '85 and '86 state championship teams and then an awful 5-1 loss to Gilmour away.
