It's time to make some predictions for the 2026-27 season.

On the 58th episode of The CCHA Reporter's Corner, co-hosts Jared Rubado and Trent Singer do just that, revealing the players and teams they believe will define the upcoming season in the CCHA.

Rubado and Singer discuss their preseason rankings and all-conference teams, including which transfers and freshmen will have the biggest impact on their respective squads.

But before they get to that, the co-hosts react to the recent news that Bemidji State coach Tom Serratore will retire at the end of the 2026-27 season.

Rubado, who covers the Beavers, gives his take on what the 26th-year coach has meant to the program as well as what the future will look like at BSU as Travis Winter steps in to replace his mentor at the helm.

After breaking down all eight teams in the CCHA last week, Rubado and Singer spent an hour and a half giving their predictions for what the 2026-27 season will hold.

Will they be perfect? Certainly not, but it's the perfect fodder for the masses as opening weekend draws closer.
