USA Hockey’s National U19 camp roster is out.

The camp includes 38 players from the 2006 and 2007 birth years and will take place at the Goggin Ice Center at Miami University (Ohio) from July 18-21.

The selections were made based on scouting of in-season competition.

Many of the players below are either prep graduates who will be off to the collegiate ranks in the fall or current prep standouts who are rising seniors.

Here’s who made it from the Massachusetts and New England Districts.

Lane Kiffin is an unparalleled figure in college football. The sixth-year Ole Miss head coach is known as much for his wit and occasional social media trolling as his wins on the field.

Still, it’s Kiffin’s uncompromising authenticity and affable personality that has made him arguably college football’s most entertaining head coach. It’s also what makes him someone Georgia Bulldogs alum David Pollack would follow into the heat of battle, on or off the field.

“Lane don’t give a crap what you think. And my favorite thing about Lane is Lane is a little bit socially awkward. Like he’s a different person,” Pollack said recently on his podcast, See Ball Get Ball with David Pollack, when discussing football’s best motivators. “Lane doesn’t like crowds. But when he goes back to Knoxville as an Ole Miss coach, and it’s the first time he’s been back to Knoxville and people are throwing things at him, he was like, ‘I guess they don’t like me very much.’ But just so real.”

As Pollack recalled, Kiffin — who infamously left Tennessee in the dead of night after just one season as head coach to take the USC job in January 2010 — has occasionally embraced the villain role at times, especially with regards to Volunteers fans. That particular conflict reached its climax in 2021 when Kiffin returned to Neyland Stadium for the first time as an opposing coach. The game, which ended in a 31-26 victory for Kiffin and Ole Miss, was even briefly halted when Tennessee fans threw everything from golf balls to mustard bottles onto the field, many in his direction.

Since that game, Kiffin rarely misses an opportunity to poke fun at the Vols and their fans on social media, including once suggesting Tennessee ink a corporate sponsorship with French’s mustard and put their logo on the Neyland Stadium field. For Pollack, Kiffin’s social media trolling is just another reason for his Ole Miss players to love playing for him.

“His social media comes into play, because he’ll take shots. … He’ll say exactly what he thinks. … And I think you appreciate that as a player, as a person, you always appreciate the realness,” Pollack added. “I’m not following any of these guys, or anybody, unless I believe that you believe what you’re saying. It might look different, Kirby (Smart) doesn’t have the same personality as Lane by any stretch, but I know it’s authentic to him and he’s going to say what he believes.

“I think the same thing with Lane, which makes it really fun and unique and different. That’s why you’re just thankful that personalities are so different in this world.”

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) revealed its All-Americans for the 2025 Men’s Lacrosse season on Thursday afternoon, with two Adrian College Bulldogs making the list, as Michael Jonas and Cameron Reed collected Honorable Mention Team honors. Jonas was also named to the USA Lacrosse Magazine All-American Honorable Mention Team earlier this month.

Jonas and Reed become only the second and third Bulldogs to ever receive a Men’s Lacrosse All-American honor. Coady Adamson was the first-ever member of the Adrian College men’s lacrosse program to receive such an accolade, back in 2012 when he collected LaxPower and USILA Honorable Mentions.

Jonas wrapped up a memorable career this past Spring, taking ownership of the Adrian College Men’s Lacrosse Record Book, as he shattered numerous program marks in his final campaign. Jonas finished within the top-five and top-ten of numerous NCAA DIII individual stat columns, scoring 67 goals, 45 assists, and 112 points. Jonas set career-highs in all three categories and finished the year with a 6.22 points-per-game record in 18 total games in 2025, helping lead the Bulldogs back to the No. 2 seed in the MIAA while also claiming First Team All-MIAA and the Conference Offensive Player of the Year award. One other notable accomplishment for Jonas this past season was his 8-goal, 12-point game versus Illinois Wesleyan back on March 29. The 12-point night established a new program mark for individual points in a single game. All together, Jonas leaves Adrian holding 13 different individual program records, deserving of his first All-American recognitions.

Reed closed his remarkable career this past Spring as well, also making a name for himself inside the program’s record book and earning the MIAA Conference Defensive Player of the Year award and First Team All-MIAA. In his final season with the Bulldogs, Reed established both the career and individual single season caused turnovers records, as the Canadian grabbed 55 CT’s as a Senior to finish his Bulldog career with 182. With that number, the All-American defender also climbed into the top-ten all-time for career caused turnovers in NCAA DIII Men’s Lacrosse at the conclusion of the 2025 season. In addition, Reed also set Adrian’s program record for caused turnovers-per-game in a single season with 3.06, earning himself a long-awaited and well-deserved national recognition.

Adrian’s big-two also became tied for the program lead in career games played, seeing the field 68 times over their four-year tenures, and are the only two Adrian College Men’s Lacrosse Bulldogs to start in every single game of their career. Their contributions this season led the Bulldogs to an 11-7 overall record, a 5-1 conference record, and the No. 2 seed in the conference, earning them the right to host the MIAA Tournament Semifinal back in late April.

Adrian College congratulates each of these student-athletes on their All-American distinctions. Michael Jonas and Cameron Reed will each be remembered for their impacts left on the Adrian College Men’s Lacrosse program for years to come.

The Nick Saban-led college sports commission hatched by President Donald Trump now appears unlikely to come into being any time soon, according to a report Thursday by Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports.

Multiple reports in the last two weeks suggested that Saban would serve as co-chair of the proposed commission, which would be charged with tackling issues in college sports such as NIL. The idea spawned from a meeting between the President and the former Alabama football coach at or after Alabama’s commencement ceremony — at which both men spoke — on May 1.

According to Dellenger’s report, the commission idea is not completely dead, just “paused.” The pause would allow members of Congress — including Sen. Ted Cruz and Sen. Cory Booker — time to craft potential federal legislation that would supersede various state laws regarding college sports that often come into conflict with each other.

Since that first meeting with the president, Saban — who now works as a college football analyst for ESPN after retiring from Alabama in early 2024 — has sought to distance himself from the idea of such a commission. He has repeated told reporters he believed it to be unnecessary, and that those in charge of college sport could get together and solve problems without a formal government-backed body getting involved.

“First of all, I don’t know a lot about the commission,” Saban told the SEC Network’s Paul Finebaum on May 14. “Secondly, I’m not sure we really need a commission. A lot of people know exactly what the issues are in college football and exactly what we need to do to fix them. I think the key to the drill is getting people together so we can move it forward.”

Other college sports stakeholders have questioned the need for a commission. ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas — a former player at Duke — said as much in an interview Wednesday with On3 Sports.

“We’ve had the Knight Commission, we had the Rice Commission,” Bilas said. “Anything with commission on it is probably not going to accomplish anything.”

HOUGHTON, Mich. – Michigan Tech Vice President for Athletics & Recreation Suzanne Sanregret announced Thursday (May 22) that Bill Muckalt has been named the head hockey coach. Muckalt is the 23rd head coach in program history and returns to Tech after one season as head coach of Lindenwood University. 

Muckalt was an assistant coach for the Huskies from 2011-15. He has signed a five-year contract to lead the Black and Gold.

“I’m excited to welcome Bill Muckalt as the next leader of our historic program,” Sanregret said. “He brings an elite hockey resume and experience at every level of the game. Bill understands the high expectations of our university, alumni, and community, and he has a clear understanding of today’s college hockey landscape. I look forward to working with him to build a strong vision and plan that will bring more championships back to Houghton.”

 

“I want to thank President Koubek and Suzanne Sanregret for this exciting opportunity to come back to Houghton,” Muckalt said. “This is a great hockey community and world-class university. I’m looking forward to getting to know our student-athletes and building relationships with them to have a successful season in the CCHA. My ultimate goal is to bring home the MacNaughton Cup and compete in the NCAA Tournament.”

 

At Lindenwood in 2024-25, Muckalt led the Lions to their most wins in their three-year NCAA Division I history with key victories over Notre Dame, Omaha, and Wisconsin. Prior to getting hired at Lindenwood, Muckalt was the associate head coach at his alma mater, the University of Michigan, from 2017-23.

 

In his six seasons at Michigan, Muckalt helped 20 players get drafted into the NHL and was the Wolverines’ lead recruiter. The Wolverines won Big Ten Tournament Championships in 2022 and 2023 and went to four NCAA Tournaments, including the Frozen Four in 2018, 2022 and 2023.

Prior to his time at Michigan, Muckalt was the general manager and head coach of Tri-City Storm of the USHL from 2015-17. The Storm won the first Clark Cup in franchise history during the 2015-16 season, and Muckalt became just the fifth coach in Tier-1 history of the USHL to win a championship in his first season.

 

As an assistant coach at Michigan Tech, Muckalt helped lead the Huskies to a No. 1 ranking early in the 2014-15 season for the first time since 1976. In 2012, Tech won the Great Lakes Invitational for the first time since 1980 and earned an at-large bid to the 2015 NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1981. Eight Huskies who Muckalt coached during his first stint in Houghton signed NHL contracts.

 

As a player at Michigan, Muckalt won a pair of NCAA National Championships with the Wolverines in 1996 and 1998. In 1998, he was named an NCAA West First Team All-American, All-CCHA First Team, and team assistant captain. He received his bachelor’s degree in sports management and communications. Muckalt spent five years in the NHL with the Vancouver Canucks, New York Islanders, Ottawa Senators and Minnesota Wild, registering 97 career points on 40 goals and 57 assists. He retired as a player in 2004 after 256 career NHL games.

 

Muckalt replaces Joe Shawhan, who has led the Huskies since May 2017. In eight seasons, Shawhan went 154-120-29.

“Joe Shawhan was deeply committed to the success of our hockey program, fostering both athletic and academic excellence, and I thank him for working tirelessly to fulfill the mission of our athletic department and university,” Sanregret said. 

 

Michigan Tech will hold a press conference to welcome Coach Muckalt on Tuesday, May 27.
