We're getting closer and closer to real hockey once again, but the 2026-27 hockey season is going to be unlike any other. This is the second year of CHL players being eligible to play college hockey and it has caused a dramatic shift in the way both junior and college will look.

Chris and Cam get into it, in detail and offer a lot of opinions on the topic.

Before that, however, the Called Up crew shares thoughts on the somber news regarding Arizona State's Matthew Mayich and extend thoughts to the 21-year-old who remains in the hospital after collapsing during off-ice training last week. We extend our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Mayich and his family and friends during this difficult time.

Chris and Cam also dive into some major college hockey recruiting news as Michigan landed two high-end prospects for the 2027 NHL Draft -- Dima Zhilkin and Shaeffer Gordon-Carroll.

Then it's onto the biggest topic of the summer including the shifting demographics of college hockey, what it means for the junior ranks, why USA Hockey is growing concerned about the trends and where things go from here. Chris and Cam also talk about their own thoughts about player development and why the decisions of where to play are never all that simple.

Then we get after it with our regular staples, The Called Up Challenge, Beyond Belief and You Have To Pick One.
