I don’t understand the connection between vaccines and transferring schools. Are players leaving because of a school’s vaccine policy?

That's my understanding but its 4th hand so don't put a lot of stock in that.

Yes

[Sieve1]

Yes

So are players actually transferring out of BC because BC is requiring students to be vaccinated? If so, that’s ridiculous. On the one hand student athletes are jumping at the chance to take a 5th year of eligibility due to Covid (and some are really milking it) yet they’re objecting to a college vaccine mandate? Sorry, not trying to be “political” but that’s a little hypocritical imo. Using Covid/vaccines as an excuse to leave because you’re unhappy at a school...if you don’t want to be there, then transfer. But dont blame it on Covid/vaccines.

100%. We just had a men's player do the same thing (going to Lake State), as well as a football player a couple weeks back (going to Arkansas State). I wrote an article about this stuff coming down the pipe a couple weeks ago. I know for a fact that all three players left because of the vaccine mandate.

If so, that's ridiculous.

It sure is. Pretty sad.

Trust me I hear you on this but let's just say there are extremely... mmmm let's say *forceful* anti-vax sentiment among certain folks. I can tell you for sure that Hartmetz went through more than one vaccine exemption request and really didn't want to leave. Ohio State is obviously great school so this statement doesn't quite apply the same -- but I can assure you folks aren't giving up a BC education to get degrees from Lake State and freaking Arkansas State without being pretty off the deep end politically.

Nonetheless... if you don't want to get the vaccine, best wishes to you. We'll move on with the players that do.

I wanted to let my friends here know I haven't been on forum lately due to other priorities with my being recently diagnosed with cancer. Depending on awaited test results the prognosis can be hopeful but surgery and a lot of down time will be required. My treatment is being handled by the Ohio State University Medical Center and if things go well I will be back at our games this fall. - GO BUCKS!

Hockeybuckeye, sending love and hugs your way! Hope to see you at the games soon!

God Speed! I hope everything turns out for you as well as it did for my 16 years ago. You'll be in my thoughts.

Guess what? Found out my surgery is scheduled for the 13th hour of Friday the 13th!
Good thing for me hockey players and their fans aren't superstitious, right?
Again, thanks to all for the prayers & well wishes!

Was thinking about 13 and women’s hockey.... it’s the jersey number worn by both Julie Chu and Caroline Oeullette, a couple of greats. Not bad company :-)
