Welcome back!
With summer unofficially coming to an end after the Minnesota State Fair closing up shop for another year, September marks a new year of hockey.
It's time to prepare for the 2018-19 college hockey season. School has begun around the country. Ice sheets are ready to go. Same with captain's practices. Countdowns until opening night remains somewhere in the 20s to 40s.
Starbucks brought back its Pumpkin Spice Latte, perhaps the biggest sign fall peeks around the corner.
Prior to any preseason coverage, however, and on the one-year anniversary of The Athletic Minnesota launching, I wanted to showcase some of my favorite features from the site in the year since launching. Give them one last bit of love before turning my attention towards the future.
