Clarkson University

So I think both guys definitely deserve the opportunity.

And of course, uh, you and I probably both noted that the college boy GM from Clarkson University, first t- thing he does this season is bring up a couple college kids.

It's, uh, very appropriate.

Well, more and more, more and more prospects are coming from college.

Now, I realize the OHL is not the NHL, I get that, but obviously for somebody taken so late in the draft, uh, what he did last year was certainly impressive and, again, off to a very solid start this season, uh, with Flint with the seven points in the first five games.

It should also be noted that, uh, Anderson is committed to Clarkson University in 2027-2028.

So this will be his final season in the OHL, and then it's on to the college ranks.

And, you know, I, I don't think we're gonna see him anytime soon.

It's not the most in-depth or, or like, uh, you know, uh, I guess in-depth [chuckles] you know, scouting report that you'll ever hear in your life, but it's at least something.

Um, he's got size on his side, and if nothing else, I mean, he's putting up some good numbers in the OHL, and he's got a college career in front of him.

And I would imagine he'll probably end up playing all four years at Clarkson University, and we'll see.

But you don't see late round picks, you know, leaving for greener pastures all that soon, uh, from the college ranks.

We talked about this briefly.

One of Arizona State hockey's top recruits, Mike Mayuch, big defenseman, transferred from Clarkson University, suffered a catastrophic heatstroke practicing outdoors, a three-day team bonding workout with a Green Beret who was brought in by Arizona State's coach, Greg Powers, to run this, and they had him out for 85 minutes in 85 degree, 100 heat index, and he suffered a heatstroke.

He's brain dead.

The university did an in-house investigation.

And Matthew Mayich did not get that.

And again, he is someone who's from Ontario and had played at Clarkson University, which is in Potsdam, New York, near the Canadian border.

So very cold weather, big culture shock.

And so Matthew Mayich collapses here.

Developments like rapid electrification and inverter based resources have pushed the grid past the limits of legacy modeling, which is why utility engineers need the advanced insights that universities and national labs can uniquely provide.

To explore how academic research is translating into practical utility solutions, I'm thrilled to be joined by Dr. Liu Zhang, who's the Associate Professor and Director of the Center for Electric Power System Research at Clarkson University.

Dr. Zhang is at the forefront of power engineering education and grid modernization research, focusing on power quality, electromagnetic transient analysis, and scalable grid compatibility for distributed energy resources.

He'll also be diving into these exact topics at DTEK Northeast during his session, Standardizing Power Quality Modeling for DER Grid Compatibility at Scale.

Yeah, thanks so much.

I'm Leo Jiang.

I'm an associate professor of electric engineering at Clarkson University.

I'm also the director for Clarkson's Center for Electric Power Systems Research.

And then in the playoffs, another, uh, six goals and seven assists.

It looks like he's gonna be returning to Flint for one more season, and then committed to Clarkson University in 2027, 2028.

But again, a solid showing, I thought, for Anderson.

Moving right along here, number six, Felix Farhammer, a 19-year-old defenseman, lefty defenseman for the Rangers.

Um, you know, I'll use Brandon Burr as an example.

I remember when he left British Columbia to go play at Clarkson University.

He had zero goals in his freshman year.

He didn't score a point his freshman year.
