Apologies...my bad!
That said, the question stands: how do things look?
I'm looking forward to continued progress. Building on a positive season, and dealing with the loss of some high quality seniors, whose contributions on and off the ice will be missed.
Looking forward to seeing more of you around the rinks, too, especially mid Jan, or so. ...
Bowdoin has announced Jeff Ward is leaving his position as Ashmead White Director of Athletics: http://athletics.bowdoin.edu/sports/...l/20120612ward
Thanks for all the work making Watson a reality!
All the best for your future endeavors!
GO U BEARS!!!
Wes got very lucy this year and may be able to build on these two recruits.
LM is the real deal. Serious D-1 talent. 5'11" and can skate [4 time Nat Camp selection]...and shoots as hard as the boys
I have a feeling the Frosh goalie [Andover] will not be riding the pine.
I do not know LM, but it is hard to imagine that a "serious D1 talent" would be going to Wesleyan (unless this is a legacy situation or she has some unique academic interest that they satisfy). It is a great school in a great league (she must be a good student), but there are many better places in D3 for a "serious D1 talent" player that are as strong academically.
Have seen both Corvi and Andover play. Corvi is very strong and would guess she likely will continue to be the primary starter in her senior year. Andover is very good and sets them up for 3 more years of strong goaltending (the Andover team she played on this year was horrible - she must have set some sort of shots on goal/saves record). I do not know why Andover cannot field a more competitive team given their incredible facilities, reputation, and orientation towards athletic success - seems to be a long term issue in women's hockey for them.
