The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways.
Please note that you can switch between light and dark modes by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right of the main menu bar.
We are hoping that this new platform will prove to be faster and more reliable. Please feel free to explore its features.
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...
If physical play and lack of player safety is ruining the PWHL in the collective mind of the players, then it is up to the PWHL Players Association to speak up. Our editorial opinions aren't going to change anything.
Looked at from the perspective of the student athletes, that means that a higher percentage of them are happy with their current choice and not feeling a need to move.
Last year, the Gazdik sisters moved from MSU to St. Thomas. I thought that was a bad sign for the Mavericks, but then they finished fifth this year and made the tourney semis. The separation from 5th to 7th in the league isn't much.
How many NCAA third place games did you attend? For the first one in 2001, the matchup was two rivals in Harvard and Dartmouth, and it was the first NCAA Frozen Four, so there was at least some interest on the part of the teams. By 2005, it was obvious that the hearts of the teams just wasn't in...
But Chicago is. I could envision a schedule where a Chicago team might play a couple of games a season in Madison. It would be a good way to attract some new fans from Madison to venture to Chicago to watch some other games.
To some extent, the WCHA has the three Big Ten teams, UMD, and the others. I feel that the St. Thomas story hasn't really been written yet, as its footing is unique in the league. While UND was around, they were a lot like UMD, except that they never won anything. UM and UW fans know the taste...
Can you call it poaching when the original program folds beneath the players? I think it's more akin to a shelter finding new homes for the abandoned. Anyway, I think it was UND that disappeared early in Muzzy's tenure; RMU was after the pandemic.
I doubt there's much of that yet in women's hockey at the NCAA level, but anytime you hear of somebody getting a $1M NIL deal, I'm sure there's an agent getting a cut. I believe that top deals even in a more established sport like volleyball likely have a ceiling around $200K.
There were always trophies, but the current traveling ones were introduced later. One of the stranger early varieties looked like some crystal vase that would live in a china cabinet and tended to be barely visible in championship photos. Luckily, I don't remember any stories of them being...
I thought the point at which UW was the most vulnerable was in the semis right after PSU tied it at 3 and had a second chance opportunity with a lot of net up top to shoot at. Had that gone in, the crowd energy might have carried the home team over the finish line. It didn't, and the story ended...
I doubt that she's had time to do enough coaching to have qualified her for the job. Rumor was that she was planning to retire some time between the 2018 and 2022 Olympic cycles and Joel Johnson convinced her to keep playing. She was the type of player that the SID would want to send out to...
