We got the INCH Podcast group together to review the NCAA Regionals and debate which teams were most impressive in the first round and which teams had the best overall weekends. We talk about attendance issues and regional sites, and wrap things up with conversation about George Gwozdecky and Denver. No deterioration needed, and that is no fooling.

The first INCH Podcast of the INCH Writers era is posted for your listening pleasure. Surprisingly there is more hockey talk than usual. As stated when we made the transition, our current editorial format doesn’t mean that we don’t like college hockey. The staff has lots to say about teams making an early impression.

We often say that playoff hockey is the best time of the year. That said, even the greatest things in life have flaws. In the case of the NCAA Tournament, even with 16 teams participating, scores of fantastic players have played their last college games of the year – and perhaps their career. Second, no team is perfect – everybody has areas where they could improve. Here at Inside College Hockey, we set out to solve both those problems. The result? Our own one-of-a-kind NCAA Tournament Wish List Draft. We took the tourney teams and selected players from teams that didn’t make the field. The Wish List Draft will feature two rounds of picks, with the first pick of each round belonging to the 16th seed.

For a visual supplement (beware of spoilers), all of the picks are available at the Wish List Draft page.
