Just curious as a parent myself and also a former psychiatry resident. (I know-not really hockey related but just passing some time today before all the excitement of this weekend)
    Policeman in Phoenix out here tased his step son for getting a bad report card. I think that is bad. He got fired.

It is all black and white to them-either hitting or absolutely no hitting. As you point out this is not at all simple. The effects of positive and negative reinforcement have been documented over many years-and still not many people can agree. As you have said-and I agree totally-every case and probably every instance has to be individualized.
        It always puzzles me a bit that we require people to reach a minimum age and get specialized training and pass a licensing exam before we give them the legal right to drive a motor vehicle. We require people to pass a background check before they are allowed to purchase a rifle for hunting. Yet we allow any twit with an ovary to raise a child without any limitation at all??

        very gnarly. it used to be society put limits on such behavior through shaming and family support systems (e.g., grandparents raise children of teen mothers). That has disintegrated and nothing has yet taken its place.

          My dad never raised a hand to his children. However, he could make one small statement or a look and you felt overwhelmed with guilt. Worked like a charm with me. But you have it right-you need a license to do just about anything else in this country except have a child.

          Now back to hockey this weekend-tonight NBC sports is showing Princeton at Massachusetts at 7PM. I suppose all these college broadcasts may disappear after this weekend as the NHL gets restarted. I missed the NHL but sure hope we still get these various NCAA games on TV.

              According to the TW Cable guide, it says Princeton. Either way, I'll be watching.

                Comcast had it as Princeton in their guide. Thanks for the correction. I had thought it odd since the ECAC was only playing league games.

                  It could be Princeton DrD. They don't have an ECACH game either on Friday or Saturday.

                    Nope-as usual Comcast does not have its act together. It is Providence. I'll watch a bit of it-but I have less interest since it does not involve an ECAC team.

                      Yup. TW Cable is just as incompetent. Well, at least you can watch Harvard-Yale tomorrow night on the same network. I'll be at the RPI game.

                        May be an NBC Sports program listing issue - Dish showed Princeton as well.

                            Right! It's okay to "spank" the opposition!

                              Blog post on Ned Harkness that 3 of the 4 teams involved this weekend can appreciate. I don't know who is behind this blog - certainly not me!

                                Until I saw the URL, I would have guessed a Colgate fan.

                                Very nice article.
