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.

Kelly Pannek, 6 Minnesota alums make US National Team for 2018 Olympics
Senior to-be Kelly Pannek for now will be putting off her final year at Minnesota to pursue an Olympic gold medal.
The United States announced its national team roster Friday (May 5, 2017) following a week-long tryout camp with 42 players.
Seven of the eight players with Minnesota ties at the camp were among those named to the 23 woman roster.
That includes Pannek, the nation's 2016-17 leader in points, who was one of three players with college eligibility remaining on the team along with Wisconsin forward Annie Pankowski and Minnesota Duluth goaltender Maddie Rooney.
They will live and train together in Tampa, Florida for the 2018 Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea beginning in September. The USWNT will also participate in pre-tournament competitions. Relocating to Florida is a change from past Olympic cycles where the US team spent time in Blaine, MN.

BLOG: News & Notes You & I May Have Missed
I spent this past week in Chicago covering the Frozen Four for SB Nation. While that didn't stop me from being able to put up a couple stories on players leaving and decommitting, a few pieces of news slipped through the blog.
This post is to quickly catch up on any news you may have missed.
In addition, I will also get to continuing the "What's Next" series later this week.
