NCAA Hockey - 2023/24 **Insert Witty Tagline**

[Kepler]

Interesting question about whether / when people are desexualized in the course of work.

There are lots of circumstances here to unpack: power differential, age difference, threatening stance, abusive words, abusive physicality. Let's try to simplify them by stripping the situation down.

Say player J is female. The rest of her NOSHO team, the Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs, is male. They're all 50. Can J use the lockerroom with the guys? Can everybody get naked or not and not care? Is there a point where sex just doesn't matter, like a doctor examining a patient?

Flip the genders in the prior example. Is it different since now it reinforces a gender power difference?

Now make J a 50, M and the rest of the team 25, F. A difference? They're still all just playing hockey as teammates, not coach and players, nothing sexual is said.

Introducing abusive behavior changes things radically, but shouldn't it regardless of gender considerations?

Discuss.

Wow... That's.... Something...

I get that things may have went sideways "in the moment" with his line of thinking, but yea, that's just bad. Dude will never be behind the bench of a women's team again.

Now that he’s unemployed, I think his qualifications are perfect for a spot in Trump’s cabinet. Too bad super-qualified Linda McMahon got put in charge of education.

Haha. Rumor is in the womens hockey forum I believe

Woof. If that's even half true...

That’s a wild thread. Even before the rumor post you’ve got people defending him, like people just resign mid series if something didn’t happen.

Was he coaching them for their boyfriends?

Whew those rumors about the st Thomas girls coach. Who is now apparently no longer employed as he resigned

Notre Dame put out a graphic telling fans what and what not to wear in Belfast. It said no green, nothing that says Irish or Fighting Irish. No shamrocks, leprechauns, or the Ireland flag. Under what to wear, it was essentially blue and gold, the ND interlock logo, or something that’s says Notre Dame.

Well, that apparently didn’t go over well because they had to come out with this statement.

The best part is the jerseys they’re wearing for the event say Irish and have a shamrock.

I would wear these.

How many schools are needed for an NCAA championship? Even if all the D2 schools dropped down there would still only be 20 D2 teams.

For D2, 40.

[Russell Jaslow]

I don’t really see the point in keeping the program if it’s at D2. Purgatory of playing a D3 schedule but not being eligible for the championship. It’s essentially a varsity sponsored club team. Maybe even worse because at least club teams can compete for a championship.

And the good D3 schools clobber those D2 schools. Heck, even bad D3 schools will win sometimes against the D2 schools.

Unless you really want to go to that school for an academic reason, a player deciding not to play D1, is most likely going to choose a school that plays with a national championship tournament as a carrot.

That is an amazingly high quality video for a 2006 YouTube video and a standard def video tape broadcast. Everything else from that era looks the like Zapruder film.

Wisconsin loves OT.

[Spartanforlife4]

Wisconsin loves OT. 8 conference games with 4 going to the extra period. They didn’t have a good series against Lindenwood but they’ve been playing everyone except Denver close, just can’t pull out many wins.

ND does not look like a typical ND squad. Jackson’s last year might be a couple seasons late.
