Colgate 23-24

Morrow is listed on the Colgate 24-25 roster on the website.

That's just because although she remains on the portal list the latest update does not indicate that she has signed with anyone yet. Hopefully that stays the same until we get a new coach and she decides she wants to stay.

Noticed Alexia Aubin from Stanstead College in Que is not listed on roster yet but appears registered at school. Hope they are just slow in getting her name on roster as she will be a high potential player...Strong forward on several U-18 and higher Canadian national teams. Charismatic, emotional player that fans will really like and other players want to play with.

Makes a ton of sense to sign with a team that is built to win vs a team that is built to not win.

That’s what my friend from Dartmouth said was what he was hearing from insiders. That Crowell took a deeper look at the program, the roster and recruiting prospects and decided competing in the ECAC would be a daunting task. Better to go to a program where you can win now into the foreseeable future.

Again fingers crossed. Aubin's presence was also confirmed by a reliable source. She should be added to the posted roster asap. We look very solid going into the year if we can keep Sydney.

This seems a bit silly that she would be willing to take a job across country, move her family, and THEN have reservations about the roster, recruiting prospects, overall program, etc. Seems like something that should be more considered before you A- apply and B- publicly accept the position. However, I'm aware that this probably happens all the time in the private sector, new opportunities come up, you're more marketable now....I guess I'll just wait with popcorn to see how this plays out and what possible spin she (and Dartmouth) will put on this if she does, in fact, go after the Colgate position.

Stefan Decosse is the new Head Coach! Bravo!!

[Oldtimer]

I'm happy for him, no one deserves it more. He most likely will continue the "we skate free" culture which is our calling card and unique edge up in recruiting. I also have always sensed the team really likes him so I'm expecting the high standard of Colgate Women's hockey to continue. On a parallel note, here's hoping S. Morrow is one of those supporters and stays. We need her.

Congrats and happy they hired from within !

People have buyer's remorse all the time. It's human nature. And it's not like she would be the first coach to have a change of heart. Greg Schiano did it with the Patriots - he accepted a coaching position with the team and then a few weeks later, backed out. And this was when the Pats were Super Bowl contenders. Josh McDaniels did the same thing right before he was to be announced as head coach of the Colts.

It's all moot now that Colgate has made its choice.

Rumor on the Transfer Portal page is Morrow is headed to the Gophers. As jimmywallstreet noted there, she's almost certainly out the door to somewhere as she was not listed on Gate's PR piece about who of our players/alums are headed to the USA hockey festival in Aug but is a confirmed invitee herself. Oh well, if that's the case I wish her well and will fondly remember her dangerous O zone presence while with us.

Morrow to Minnesota....bad news !

Rightnut, can you do the honors and start our 2024-25 thread. Time to begin The Decosse Era
and life without the great class that arrived in 2019 and ushered in so much success.
