    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2026-27: Here Comes The Boom

    I don't agree with the sentiment that a new head coach "owns" the recruits that came in while they were an assistant. For example, Shannon Miller wasn't inclined to give much in the way of scholarships to Minnesota HS players early in her tenure. By the end of her regime, there weren't that many...

    Michigan Getting a Women's Team?

    Most of the students at UM games are in grade school.

    2025-26 PWHL season

    Are there other Nurses that have checked all of those boxes on their resumes? The final one is harder with only three chances, but we could include whatever passed for a pro league at the time. I'm guessing that there are people from Madtown who have, but it's too depressing to think about for...

    Are you asking so you know when to start checking for "Fire Boom!" posts?

    Ohio State Women's Hockey 2026-27: "The future ARE the Buckeyes ... you can write that down."

    That is likely one of the big questions for UW; does McNaughton's play make a jump forward without having the huge distraction of an Olympic year?

    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2026-27: Here Comes The Boom

    Thanks for starting a new thread! IMO, the biggest indicator of the state of the program is that your sentence that I quoted is buried in the middle of a paragraph and it isn't misplaced. The question isn't how do we survive w/o a coach who was there for two decades, it's how do we get a team...

    Transfer Portal 2026

    Only a small percentage of NCAA football players will wind up playing in the NFL (32 rosters, each much smaller than the triple-digit rosters at an Alabama or tOSU). There are far more players in college who will need to use their degree than will find themselves playing on Sundays.

    This has merit. However, I would say that the model for females is different than males. Physically, girls develop faster than boys. I remember those 3rd/4th grade years where the tallest kids in the room were girls, but their height also quit increasing at an earlier age. Mentally and...

    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    It depends on how you look at it. Consider men's hockey, where players routinely go play juniors after HS and delay their college entrance. Those going straight to college from HS have become a smaller percentage compared to decades passed. In theory, even the best recruits would maximize their...

    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    Winny has a lot of contacts in the game. Even though it's been awhile since she played in college, you couldn't go very long where she didn't have a sibling or niece on a D-I roster. Not your typical newcomer. Between her and Leveille, they have played with and coached so many people that they...

    My thoughts off the top... Marty Sertich: Hobey Baker caliber player with coaching in his DNA. Winny B.B.: has been helping develop hockey players in Minnesota for years. Lev': one of the most successful goalies as a Gopher and top notch as a competitor; hopefully, she can pass this on to her...

    Wisconsin Women's Hockey 2025-2026

    Thanks for all of the helpful info! Do you know if reducing the league matches to 17 + a tourney means teams can now schedule an additional two matches out of conference?

    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    Remember that at this point you represent a significant percentage of the UM fanbase. IMO, D are a little like goalies, in that the prospects who are highly sought as preps don't always develop as much through their college careers. Milica McMillen and Lee Stecklein were in the same class in...

    The Badgers have proven to be very proficient at defeating teams whose colors are green and white. Denver presents a different color palette entirely. Good luck!

    Wisconsin Women's Hockey 2025-2026

    Don't know about anyone crying or not for UW, but on Friday, a UConn player blew a layup and immediately started crying on the court. Timeout hadn't even been called yet. I don't remember ever seeing anything like that in NCAA sports before. Sure, hockey players might scream and sob after...
