December 18, 2024

I’ll recap my thoughts from the KLAA-MIHL Showcase from last weekend with standout players, performances and teams. Plus, we’ll preview a lot of big matchups in the days leading into winter break. It’s unofficially the halfway point of the season, so I’ll offer up some of my biggest takeaways from what we’ve seen so far.

Want to talk about it? Let's connect on social:
