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.
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...
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...
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...
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?
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!
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.
