I'll throw my copper trinkets into the ring... I recommend the Drop the Puck Yearbook, which is likely already out now. I have purchased all of the previous issues [I believe this is the fourth year], and they are definitely worth having. They include team rosters and schedules for all tourney eligible D-I teams, including indies. They also have a short preview of each team and results/stats from the previous season. If I had a complaint about the Yearbook it would be that they publish it so early they often include players that have skipped their remaining eligibility and turned pro. No, I do not expect them to be touting LSSU's Blaine Lacher as an All-American in 1994-95, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Pomichter [BU] and Oates [Miami] mentioned in the previews. Don't look for any McKersie news in it. I could be wrong this season, but this has been the past experience. I still recommend purchasing it. For $5.00 or so, you can't go wrong. As for Drop the Puck's Weekly Update...I have the opposite view. Don't spend the money. There is very little their to begin with, and much less that cannot be found on Hockey-L. It's certainly not worth the annual expense. I won't go into all of the complaints I have with this, but here are two. [A] They *seem* to rely heavily on student journalists. I noticed last season that one of the reporters from THE MICHIGAN DAILY [Ann Arbor] was doing LOTS of the writing for DtP. Frankly, I could probably come up with two dozen Hockey-L'ers from the CCHA area that know more about college hockey. [B] More importantly, in my opinion, the information is OFTEN wrong. I never saw one issue that didn't have statistical errors in it. The stats were just wrong...it's that simple. DtP was also involved with the WCHA All-Conference snafu last season...where every publication reported a different team. Honestly, I don't remember if DtP got it right or not...but I don't *think* they did. Regardless, this is an honest mistake because someone obviously passed along the wrong info on the WCHA team. But, all of the stat errors are REALLY annoying. As Keith mentioned, College Hockey Journal was much better. Unfortunately, CHJ folded. :-( [And DtP DID step in and service CHJ subscribers for the remainder of the season. Thumbs up to that.] US College Hockey Magazine [formerly College Hockey Magazine] is also up and running again. As Mike mentioned, USCHM is basically all features as opposed to stats/standings...so the material isn't nearly as time sensitive. I really enjoyed USCHM last season and highly recommend it. But, realize what you are getting. Don't buy it expecting lots of numbers. I've been lax on putting together the "full" publications list, but I will have it done and available via the archive before the beginning of the season. Lastly, add me to the list that think Will McDonough's best service to college hockey would be to ignore it. I've written to the Globe complaining about McDonough's ignorance and factual errors, but I've never received a reply. So much for quality. John Haeussler Univ of Michigan P.S. Hopefully, DtP will produce a better weekly publication this season. Seeing CHJ, I know that it's possible...and the niche is there to fill. DtP seems to have a more stable base of advertisers, so I would think they could put more money and effort into the weekly and keep it profitable. I'll gladly tout them if they improve.
