Re: hockey major?
I started this thread with the assumptions that selecting a course of study precedes a college degree, and that college graduates are more successful than most other groups in the population. I did not mention college drop-outs for fear of an causing an epidemic of apoplexy among lurkers. I like to hear success stories, and I think many fans would be proud to relate the (non-hockey) successes of former players for their team.
There are many posters, some of them parents, who view hockey players as one-dimensional individuals: hockey players. You can see a few of them (and their children) at every youth hockey game and on this site: "How dare you discuss academics and athletics?" "Why on earth would anyone be interested in what happens to hockey players after they stop playing? A discussion about life during and after hockey would be good for the kids, even though it might confuse and infuriate their parents.
