Re: hockey major?
I'm surious why you would think a message board about hockey that many (if any) of us would REALLY know much about how hockey players do in school. And even if people did know, how much they will or should divulge.
You got that rep for your comments in other threads by commenting about the NCAA minimums and your seeming belief that the more successful schools are just meeting that minimum. Based on this, you titled this thread "hockey majors". With your past history, it was thought that you presumed that hockey players had "hockey majors" - not that you were wondering about what hockey player's majors were.
And for your last point, as hockey fans and not members of academia, it's not really much of a concern to many of us what hockey brings to the academic side. But you probably found that out by now that this is not anything that we are knowledgeable about or really care about. And all your posts to try and get us to care are really just blowing in the wind.

It wasn't long before I was accused of starting this thread in order to attack college hockey because I "think" all the players are dummies. Look back and see. I did have a problem with this lousy job of mind reading and scurrilous attack on my motives. I predicted that the great majority of college hockey players will rely upon their mental (academic) skills than their athletic (hockey) skills in their careers, so more discussion of the contributions of hockey programs to academic achievement would be welcome. More mind-reading and straw-man whupping quickly followed. Look back and see, and decide who owns the problem.
