It’s a significant accomplishment to play in one of the biggest and most prestigious youth hockey tournaments in the world. It’s icing on the cake to have that feat announced at Madison Square Garden.

That’s exactly what happened for Eastport-South Manor Central School District seventh grade student-athlete Brody Morbillo. Brady was picked to play in the International Youth Ice Hockey Tournament held in Quebec, Canada last month. This tournament attracts some of the best youth hockey players not only in North America but around the world, with more than 120 international teams competing. This great accomplishment for Brody and his teammates was even announced at a recent New York Rangers game at MSG.

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
