Michigan State hockey commit Brady Peddle has been selected in the third round of the NHL Entry Draft.

Peddle was selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins with the No. 91 overall pick in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday. Peddle was one of many current and future Michigan State players selected in this year’s NHL Draft.

Peddle committed to Michigan State in April of 2024, and is still a year away from joining the Spartans per a story from the Lansing State Journal. That, of course, could change with the pick by the Penguins and since Peddle initially committed to Michigan State.

Peddle played with Waterloo of the USHL this past season. He is a defenseman and is listed at 6-foot-4.

Faison is still seeking another year of eligibility from the NCAA after applying for a waiver. He’s still waiting on a response, and Shane Beamer said the program still had not heard anything as of Tuesday.

Beamer also confirmed Faison did not practice Sunday, though it was not due to the eligibility situation. Instead, he has a bruised shoulder, which is why he wasn’t on the field.

“I know I’m going to get asked about Rahsul,” Beamer told reporters. “I don’t have an update for you right now. He wasn’t at practice Sunday. That wasn’t because of his situation with the NCAA, he just got hit a little bit on the shoulder in our scrimmage on Saturday night. It’s nothing serious, just a bruise. But he was in the training room or actually getting some extra work done on that Sunday night when you guys were at practice.”

Beamer also said the hope is Faison and South Carolina get an answer “soon” on the former Utah State running back’s situation. The head coach also said the program is respecting the NCAA’s process.

“He was back out there today in good spirits,” Beamer said. “Hope to get some good news on that soon. But we’ll see. But again, extremely respectful of the NCAA and the job they have. I know they’re analyzing other cases besides Sul’s. And appreciate them taking it under consideration or into consideration and optimistic that we’ll get some good news hopefully soon.”

More on Rahsul Faison’s waiting game

Rahsul Faison spent the last two years at Utah State and put up the best numbers of his career in 2024. He ran for 1,109 yards and eight touchdowns while adding 99 receiving yards. He graduated high school in 2019 and enrolled at Marshall, though he didn’t play a snap with the Thundering Herd. Faison then took online classes at Lackawanna College in 2020, though he didn’t play football.

In 2021, Faison enrolled at Snow College and didn’t get onto the field until 2022. A year later, he transferred to Utah State, and he’s seeking another year of eligibility in light of Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia’s legal victory last year.

Pavia’s motion for a preliminary injunction was granted in the U.S. District Court of Middle Tennessee in December. The NCAA released guidance in March to its membership, issuing a blanket waiver to former junior college players.

BABSON PARK, Mass.— As Babson College men’s ice hockey gets set to compete in a new conference this winter, the Boxer-Rice head men’s ice hockey coach Jamie Rice ’90 officially released his program’s 2025-26 schedule on Tuesday afternoon.

The Beavers, a member of the Little East Conference (LEC) for men’s ice hockey in 2025-26, will play 18 games in the new league along with seven non-conference affairs. The inaugural season for LEC men’s hockey will include core institutions Keene State (N.H.), Plymouth State (N.H.), Southern Maine, UMass Boston, UMass Dartmouth, Vermont State Castleton and Western Connecticut as well as affiliate members Babson, New England College and Norwich.

The Green and White drop the puck on the season with a home-and-home non-conference series against Fitchburg State, beginning in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, on October 31 followed by a rematch in Babson Park on November 1. The LEC slate starts with road games at Keene State on November 7 and Western Connecticut on November 8, followed by the first Little East home games vs. Norwich on November 14, Vermont State Castleton on November 15, and Southern Maine on November 22.

Babson will step out of league play for three home games during Thanksgiving week against opponents from the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC), hosting Tufts on November 25, Williams on November 29, and Amherst on November 30. Following a break for final exams and the holidays, the Green and White return to action on January 2-3 at the Oswego State Holiday Classic.

Isabella Demarco Named to United Soccer Coaches "Forwards to Watch" List

Cullowhee, N.C. — Anticipation continues to build for the 2025 women’s soccer season as Western Carolina’s Isabella DeMarco was named a “Forward to Watch” by United Soccer Coaches earlier today. DeMarco is the first Southern Conference athlete to be named to the prestigious watch list since its inception in 2022 and is the only current SoCon representative on the list this season. 
 
The lists are compiled and released by the Division I All-America Committees to promote college soccer leading up to the official start date for the regular season later this month. The lists include United Soccer Coaches All-Americans and All-Region players from 2024 who are scheduled to return for the 2025 season. 
 
DeMarco’s honor comes after a tremendous, first-team All-SoCon season in 2024, where she posted eight goals and nine assists, racking up 25 of WCU’s 152 points. She ranked within the top 50 nationally in shots on goal per game (21st – 2.00), total assists (26th – 9), shot accuracy (41st- .575), and shots per game (50th – 3.48). She ranked inside the top 100 in total points (63rd – 25), points per game (87th – 1.19), and game-winning goals (94th – 3).  
 
The only South Carolina native on either the men’s or women’s watch list, DeMarco is primed for an explosive senior season in Cullowhee. Already one of the best to don the Purple and Gold on the pitch, the standout striker is nearing a handful of school records going into the 2025 campaign, as she is just 32 points, 16 goals, five assists, 42 shots, and 12 shots on goal away from the program record in each of those respective categories.    
 
Isabella DeMarco and the Catamounts will be back in action for the first official match of the 2025 season as they host arch-rivals Appalachian State on August 14,  for a 6:00 p.m. start.  
 
Keep track of everything related to Catamount women’s soccer and WCU Athletics through its social media outlets on Facebook (fb.com/catamountsports), Instagram (@wcu_catamounts), and Twitter (@catamounts, @Catamountsoccer).

Local 16-year-old commits to play hockey for Boston College

MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (WCIV) — The future on the frozen pond is moving south. Consider this, the equivalent of a football player going to Alabama or a basketball player to Kansas.

The future on the frozen pond is moving south. Consider this, the equivalent of a football player going to Alabama or a basketball player to Kansas. It’s not something that happens every day. That makes the move for Mt. Pleasant’s Sophia Garner even more spectacular.

It’s a decision as big as any she’ll make. As a 16 year old, who has only known a world with social media, it was a dream post to create. But what makes the post stand out, aside from the school listed- “Boston College”, the hometown of the player right below it – “Charleston, SC”.

“It’s so cool. Never see someone with Charleston. Asked me what I wanted to put on it, I definitely put Charleston because it’s awesome being here. Love how it is growing every day,” said Garner.

Home is where the hockey is. She hails from Maryland, she goes to boarding school in Rochester, New York, but when her family moved to Mt. Pleasant three years ago it became the perfect pairing.

“I found incredible coaches. Working with Hunter [Bishop] so much during summer, really improved. So good seeing all these kids on the ice,” she said.

She practices among professionals. There are plenty of them in town. Her growth in the game is pretty astounding. But heck, she always stood out burying goals since she was a little kid skating with her two older brothers.

Going into her junior year of high school, seven-time “Frozen Four” squad Boston College came calling.

“I have 2 older brothers who got me into it, for sure. Once I was knocking them around, I wanted to take it to the next level,” she said. “Going to boarding school was a really good move for me. Going to Boston College, knowing I can do that is pretty cool. Great to get it off my chest. Before I go back to school. Getting it off my chest. Know that everything worked out. All my hard work paid off. I can relax, get back to work and focus on getting to the next level.”

Think about it, pretty amazing. A blue blood of college hockey picking up a prized recruit from Charleston, SC. Not something that will ever be common. Or will it?

“It’s important to have the good coaches. Surrounding yourself with kids and people who are better than me,” said Garner. “Beautiful campus. Amazing coaches. Everything, being there, when I stepped on campus I knew it was it. I am so excited. Been a dream. Born, always wanted to go there. Being able to actually do it, I’m so excited.”

The Eagle will always return to nest, as the queen of the Ice Palace.
