All of a sudden this thread has become much more entertaining.

Re: hockey major?

Is this your goal?



Anyway, call it what you like. I guess it's ok because you seem to be quite impressed with yourself no matter what...

My goal? Nope. Nobody can make you feel inferior but yourself, so I'd be wasting my time trying. Is it your goal to censor investigation and discussion of the academic success of hockey players and hockey colleges? If you don't have feelings of inferiority and you don't just don't care about any correlation between college academics and college hockey what possible pleasure or profit do you find in posting to this thread?

I would like to hear about former college hockey players who had especially noteworthy careers outside of pro hockey. If this question bothers you don't hesitate to explain why.

Then why the hell did you start a thread regarding current player's major?

Even if the title reads like you were insinuating that schools offer "hockey" as a major.

Re: hockey major?

He's an Ivy academic elitist. Probably mad that his school (my guess is Cornell) hasn't won more national titles because "inferior" schools such as mine aren't as difficult academically and get better recruits. So he makes up this problem that the kids at these "inferior" schools don't care about school at all and just care about hockey despite being shown quite a bit of evidence to the contrary and seems to be insulted that some of them take the money after a couple years to do their job.

In short. It's seems like sour grapes to me.

Well that seems a little judgmental to me. Is that what you think Cornellians feel? I can't speak for everyone but I was happy to go to a good school (not the best) with a good hockey team (not the best)............but with the best game atmosphere.

Then on to Michigan, where we have the best recruiting class every year.

Here's an example of a successful hockey career combined with an obviously successful invention. http://www.faniq.com/blog/Sharks-Def...Ever-Blog-8066

I'm assuming this is the type of example you're looking for.

Wow. I'm stumped. Do you also think a question about successful careers of ex-college players outside pro hockey insinuates there are no successful careers to be had in pro hockey?
Let's suppose for a moment that someone has an interest in what becomes of 99+% of college hockey players after they leave school, and a particular interest in those who have especially noteworthy careers. How could this person word a request for such information so that he wouldn't be shouted down by hockey fanatics?
While you're at it, let's suppose a person is interested in what college hockey students study while they are not busy shooting and scoring. How could he word this question so he would not be accused of elitism or subversion?

You think Joe Juneau would have had a terrible time in the real world after graduating with an aerospace degree in 3 years? (RPI fans, please correct me.)

How in hell did you come up with the idea I am prejudiced against hockey players with college degrees?
I didn't know about Juneau's academic success, but I'm pleased to hear about it. I welcome more such success stories. They interest me and some other people more than statistics about blocked shots, hits, and such.

Do these other people exist inside or outside of your mind?

Now, now. I've meet my fair share of Cornell fans, and they've been great. Except jmh, he's kind of a jerk. But, I chalk that up to him being from Jersey.

And Lynah's atmosphere is no where near as good as The Ralph's. Ok, I couldn't keep a straight face while typing that...

Then perhaps you should move this thread to the college hockey alumni forum, where it might actually be somewhat topical.

You start the worst threads I've seen in 10+ years on this board, and then whine "censorship" when others disagree with you. Nobody is deleting your posts, so you're not being censored. Post all the dreck you like, but be man enough to take the criticism that follows.

Then go to the cafe and start that thread there...where it belongs.

Jeez man, what part of this are you struggling with?

And if that's what you wanted to know, why isn't that what you named the thread, or asked in the opening post...

Maybe you should come up with some names of players that weren't successful after playing college hockey? Can you name anyone that played college hockey, and didn't drop out except to play pro hockey, that has ended up in a breadline? It seems like that would mean most are pretty successful.
