The player addition is official, Lacey Eden. Eligible immediately https://uwbadgers.com/news/2021/1/14...21-season.aspx

A very nice acquisition but as mentioned earlier what effect will this have on the current roster and players needing ice and development time?
Wish I could watch the games this weekend to see how much impact she'll have out of the gate.
It almost doesn't feel fair she's immediately eligible, kind of like slipping in a ringer.Last edited by Hockeybuckeye; 01-14-2021, 04:54 PM.

May 2002 birthdate...Thought she was a Princeton commit and looked it up. Yup, supposedly a 2021 commitment, but I thought she graduated this past year. ??

I do feel bad for the players on the roster like I had posted yesterday, it denies opportunity from players like Greig and GS, but the roster pre-covid number of F was only 11. The big wildcard is what Sr's will want to come back next year and will they be allowed to. If none do, they have 4 full lines then and no extra.
Apparently she played on the same line with Webster and O'Brien at SSM last year. Seeing the line combos later today is just like Christmas. How quickly will they throw her into the water? Will they count on instant chemistry with her old pals? Will she be able to execute the plan effectively? Will she even play? WATT'S GOING TO HAPPEN!!?!??
I have developing thoughts on former SSM players on UW's roster, but no time right now to expand and develop the thought....Wisconsin Hockey: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 WE WANT MORE!

This is probably Covid related. Princeton is shut down, she wants to / needs to play to continue her development and her Olympic aspirations. A player of her ability can't skip a year and keep up with the other Olympic hopeful Jones. She was in the portal, she wants to play, why not chose UW? If isn't like Frosty and Muzzy weren't on the phone, eh?
I don't know what rules for roster numbers and scholarships the NCAA tweaked for covid but typically this would play havok with how scholarship money is distributed as it's limited and only a few select get the coveted full ride and the rest is broken up and distributed among the rest of the team as the coaches see fit. If transfer players get any scholarship money then someone else on the team will be shorted.
And what about incoming freshmen in next seasons pipeline? Some won't be playing that could or should.
My daughter played D1 softball so I do have some familiarity on the NCAA scholarship/roster rules but as I mentioned that was pre-covid so I will accept correction if it's changed.

Originally posted by Timothy A View PostThey only had 10 F on the roster for next year (???), so there was room numbers-wise and probably scholarship wise as well then (6 D and 3 G).
I have the same question that I've had with Clarkson: why are there so few kids on the roster in advance of these transfers? Have high-profile players not joined the team or left early to create the openings, or is it part of a new strategy to always be prepared to respond to those who might become available in the moment?

In the covid situation I can see where the transfer portal has it's uses, otherwise I think it's a poison pill that allows any disgruntled kid to bail on their commitment causing big problems for teams in a lot of different sports! Even I don't believe Justin Fields actually encountered any "racism" at Georgia that allowed him instant eligibility with his transfer to Ohio State.Last edited by Hockeybuckeye; 01-15-2021, 02:35 PM.

Free agency in all NCAA sports is bad deal. I'd like to see the coaches be loyal to the players and the players to be loyal to the coaches.Wisconsin Hockey: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 WE WANT MORE!
