*Number 19 on our 25U25 was another NCAA kid improving his college game nicely. [BSH]

*Looks like the Ottawa Senators finally, officially, have a new owner. Which apparently hadn’t happened yet. [TSN]
*And finally, this is just the best kind of story: a local guy working to improve the Philadelphia community through the hockey, the greatest sport in the world. You love to see this stuff. [NBC Sports Philly]
