Who's next for a move up to D1?
Look folks, here's the plain unvarnished truth: The "brand name" schools simply aren't going to start up hockey or any other varsity sport that will take $$$$ away from football. If that weren't so, Illinois would have been competing long before now. As has been noted by others, more than a...- Split-N

Northeastern 2025-26: After Hours at the Old Barn
A final look back: High points: Shutout of eventual national champ Denver (10/25); season sweep of BC. Low points: Yakking up two goals in 18 secs vs BU to snatch defeat from the jaws victory in the last game ever played at Matthews (12/13); season sweep by Yukon. Not to be ignored: The...- Split-N

Mercyhurst Announces Academic Adjustments and Discontinuation of its Division I Mens Ice Hockey Program
Point taken. I should have inserted "Division I." Point is, these are substantial, relatively well-heeled schools that could easily compete at the D1 level but have chosen not to spend more than they feel they should on intercollegiate athletics. I do think other schools, besides Mercyhurst...- Split-N

Mercyhurst Announces Academic Adjustments and Discontinuation of its Division I Mens Ice Hockey Program
I'll go a giant step further and opine that a few schools with legitimate academic chops might opt to go the UofChicago/NYU route and do away with intercollegiate sports entirely.- Split-N

Mercyhurst Announces Academic Adjustments and Discontinuation of its Division I Mens Ice Hockey Program
And let's not forget the costs of maintaining ice making equipment at schools that have their own arenas and ice rental costs at schools that don't. But the cost issue is much bigger than school budgets and affect the very foundations of the game itself. Hockey has increasingly become a...- Split-N

Mercyhurst Announces Academic Adjustments and Discontinuation of its Division I Mens Ice Hockey Program
That's a question that I'm sure is sparking deep discussions at more than one institution. Especially private schools and mid-majors.- Split-N

BOSTON COLLEGE 2025 - 2026
Spot-on. Massachusetts youth hockey has been in steady decline for at least 20 years and isn't going to get better any time soon. Many reasons, not the least of which is the skyrocketing cost of outfitting and equipping a player, plus tuition-like costs for club memberships, travel, training...- Split-N

Northeastern 2025-26: After Hours at the Old Barn
I don't remember an NU season sweep of BC, mostly because, in the long history of the NU program, it never happened until tonight. NU looked like the early season NU team that took down UMass, BC twice, and Denver. A jump in their step, passes connecting that didn't connect during the...- Split-N

Northeastern 2025-26: After Hours at the Old Barn
Not entirely off topic as it still involves a hard object being propelled by a handheld implement. But the college baseball world was rocked last night after Northeastern took down top-ranked LSU 13-10 in Baton Rouge. Also hung tough with them two nights earlier before losing 3-1. There...a...- Split-N

Northeastern 2025-26: After Hours at the Old Barn
Embarassing. This team has unavoidable issues what with having to shuttle back-and-forth to Dedham every day but they're better than what showed last night. BTW, all of those in-ice ads made my eyes hurt!- Split-N

Northeastern 2025-26: After Hours at the Old Barn
Taking absolutely nothing away from the Saturday Night Massacre, anytime a team scores three goals on its first five shots, the rest of the game becomes garbage time. Really (and surprisingly), it looked like UML was just mailing it in after the fourth goal. Nonetheless, the seeming end of the...- Split-N
