    A bit unrelated, but Women’s Worlds started today and in Canada’s first game against Sweden our own Jesse Eldridge and recent HOF enshrinee was voted Canadian player of the game with 2 goals and an assist. BTW Canada won. Go Gate!

    We need to put an end to the goalie rotation against better opponents. It’s okay against most ECAC and eastern teams, but not when the competition gets tougher inside or outside our league. Brooke Davis needs to play in those games to give us the best chance of winning…

    I echo Tchr Bill. Expectations are OSU will win, but Gate has always enjoyed and thrived on being the underdog so who knows what will happen. As always you are loaded with transfers which small schools like Colgate simply cannot lure with a limited curriculum, but no matter, it will be fun...

    As far as I’m concerned Senecal is our #1 D which is why I didn’t mention her as she always plays great. Do not know why she didn’t make the ECAC all rookie team last year. She’s a rock. Agreed but given they swept UConn and MN State they apear to have impressed the pollsters. They also are...

    What a big win for a team down 2 of their best players who are at the Canadian Women’s National team camp. Clearly outskated and pushed to the brink by St Cloud’s forecheck they kept their heads and let the game come to them. Davis was really good tonight (probably her best win at Gate and I...

    Agree on Aubin. Always one of my favorites. I view her first 2 years as primarily an expediter for Biederman and other upperclassmen who knows it’s now her turn to shine. She needs to keep her nose clean this year, she’s too valuable off the ice. Palumbo is a puck mover not a real offensive...

    Just confirmed that despite what I suggested above, the Team USA bill is not part of what is about to be voted on in Congress which is focused on broader concerns like NIL etc. That said it’s still in committee and proceeding but if approved as is would not take effect until 2028-29. Not sure...

    My bad. The Team USA bill which I discussed above is not part of the legislation soon to be voted upon in the House which deals with NIL payments etc. That said, the Team USA bill is in committee and being put forward but wouldn’t take effect until 2028-29 if approved by Congress as is. What I...

    New Bill Aims To Limit Teams To 20% International Players

    Just reviewed the proposed college sports legislation up for vote shortly and as Timothy A above suggests the team USA Act is not part of it despite what I said yesterday…That’s not to say it’s not soon to follow but I was encouraged to read it’s not particularly widely supported at this time..,

    Gate’s women’s hockey team could be decimated if the House concurs with the Senate on this bill which would put a 20% cap on internationals on US college sports teams theoretically to give US kids a leg up in recruiting and a better chance to participate. This year’s team has 17 of 21 players...

    New Bill Aims To Limit Teams To 20% International Players

    This would be a disaster for many ECAC, Hockey East and other non WCHA teams that rely primarily on Canadian players as they can’t compete as effectively for good US players against WI, MN or OSU. My team has 17 of 21 players listed as international for 83%. I thought managing NIL payments was a...

    So specifically for Colgate the men’s team has 12 internationals of its 28 players for 43%, meaning we would have to reduce our roster to 6 or 7 to comply and for our women the task is much, much harder as 17 of their 21 players are international totaling 81%. So they would have to go from 17...

    Did anyone see the Senate just overwhelmingly passed that inane bill to restrict international students (read mostly Canadians) to 20% of all US college teams, thus dramatically impacting primarily men’s and women's hockey. Theoretically it’s to protect spots for US kids, but if it also passed...

    Gate 3-1 over SLU. On paper it was close as our 3rd goal was a Palumbo empty netter with seconds to go, but we completely dominated in stretches of the game. Gate’s first 2 goals were by first year Addison Tremel from nearby Bishop Kearney and the first was a great snipe. Goal allowed was a...

    It was only a scrimmage but I really liked the much greater confidence shown on D. A lot of new D impressed and both Davis and Walker looked good in goal. That was our Achilles heal last year. Some of the youngsters on O also looked good whereas some have some work to do…Hopefully it will be a...
