Just a friendly reminder - I had to remove a post at the request of a school because of they said it contained inaccurate private information about a member of the college hockey community. Please stick to discussions about confirmed news. Thanks!

That's what a hatchet man does. That's what a third-rate blogspot wanna-be "reporter" does.

Re: Rumors, privacy etc.
The only reliable source willing to go on the record says portions of the information leaked are not true. Based on that and on the level of personal information that would be disclosed, I made the decision to shut it down pending more accurate, on the record information.

That's nice, but it seems that the ONLY information on D-III comes from this message board, not the front page. It was on this board that we find out that coaches have been hired, championship venues have changed, and even the FINAL score of the D-III men's championship.
It seems that D-III is an afterthought, or at worst, the ignored step-child of USCHO. Honestly, I'd love to help, but I'm a good 8 hrs from the nearest MASCAC school and don't have the personal resources to give the MASCAC the coverage they deserve.Last edited by joecct; 10-01-2009, 04:28 AM.CCT '77 & '78

Re: Rumors, privacy etc.
I disagree with the premise of the thread that rumors are bad. I have a journalism degree, and I understand that true journalism needs to be told, but this is a fan blog forum, and truthfully I think that all rules are off. If this were FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS, etc., I believe that they would have to have their facts straight before breaking a story, but it isn't. I also have no problem with Chris editing what should be printed and what should not.2005-6 ECAC E/NESCAC Last Person Standing Champion
