Gopher Women's Hockey 2023-24

[FiveHoleFrenzy]

Evidently, The Tunnelers can still recruit...

They get a commitment from one of the top 2025 recruits in Bella (Annabella) Fanale out of Webster, NY.

U-18 selection and plays for Select Academy.

Here is a little bit older article that was posted on GPL were it talks about her all around athleticism.

It seems as though I must subscribe to FloHockey at least once per annum and this weekend was this year's weekend. For my 30 bucks I got a pretty good stream from a commercial (non-student) production. Somewhere along the way and annoyingly at a point beyond my control closed captions were introduced into the product.

The Gophers are interesting to watch, there is lots to see, there is so very, very much changed from last year.

I think they are a very good team, probably a top 3 or 4 team in the country. Oh, wait, that's what everyone thinks.

They have a ton of talent. As they go along they are going to have to figure out who scores and how. They are a top 4 or so team whether they figure it out or not. If they do figure it out they can aspire to be in the top tier of the top 4. That seems like a good goal for the Gophers for this season.

The Saint Thomas broadcast team seemed to always be trying to emphasize the positive for their overmatched team. And, OK, they DO have some really talented frosh. They have a chance to be pretty good. But for now they are not. At least not nearly as good as the Gophers.

Chapeau Abbey Murphy. Natural hat trick to lead off the game and then a couple of assists as well. Best player on the ice every time on the ice.

Ella Huber two goals. A Wethington goal assisted by a Wethington. Two goals through the five hole. A nice deflection. Snipes to the top corners.

Fun game to watch.

Not such a good game by the tunnelers today but a win is a win and a big assist to #7 (Sajevic) of the tommie bahamas in helping the tunnelers get going in the 3rd period.

Anyone coming to Columbus this coming weekend? Eeyore made it last season.

Big Ten + with major screw up denies access to stream from Columbus for about first 15 minutes of the game.

All that is going on in this thread is the sound of crickets...

Anyone know the status of #6, #12 and #22? Are they just not dressing or are there injuries? 3 freshman you would have thought would have been in the lineup...

To this point, Klepinger's played two games (10/7 vs. RIT and yesterday vs. MNSU), Goettl's played one game (10/7), and Hemp the younger hasn't played since the exhbition. I would imagine they're just not dressing, and I'm not necessarily surprised except for Klepinger.

Looks like ya got a pretty decent d on the way, eh?

You could say that...

Chloe Primerano is going to have the same affect for the tunnelers that the sinners already have with Caroline Harvey. Best recruit for the tunnelers probably since Heise.

Also of note, is that this article talks about some other programs that are currently down a bit, getting some very high end recruits...The chihuahuas, Northleastern, and the beagles to be specific

Don't get carried away with yourselves, KK is a one of a kind player. I can't imagine another D with those kind of wheels being as relentlessly as aggressive as KK.

By this response, I figure you don't really know about Primerano, do you?

Oh I read up on her, and from Watts I read for Shirley KK is a better player....

Surely indeed...

And just so it's clear...Unlike the yuckeye poster claiming their recruit is "hands down the best defender in the world" I make no such claim.

Bulldog goaler with a very good glove hand but a bit weak in the five hole.
