    Boston College Women's Hockey '25-'26: It's The Hope That Kills You

    This was my first time to watch BC live in person since ... the 2015 FF maybe? I guess they are still playing the same basic style of be aggressive, force turnovers, and capitalize. Defend? Hey, we wasted one of our six players by having a goalie, and we aren't sacrificing any more offensive...

    Google makes it seem that promoting tourism is a driving factor.

    WCHA 2025-26

    That could be, but if it is the case, I think that's a mistake for eastern contenders. If a team likes its chances to make the tournament, get a look at the Badgers in October thru January if you can. Even if the opponent gets lit up, at least the roster then has some idea of the bar it has to...

    WCHA 2025-26

    Don't be too critical of that "AC team" that looks to be the toughest team on your favorite team's NC schedule. MJ has developed quite the sweet tooth in his later years. Meanwhile, I see that the 'Dogs are heading to Belfast in January as part of a 4-team showcase. I suppose it gives those...

    WCHA 2025-26

    Wisconsin is an even bigger favorite for the WCHA regular season than it is for the NCAAs, so little analysis is needed as to why tOSU's coach voted as she did. Even dominant teams typically find themselves in a tenuous situation at some point in the tournament, where one loss knocks you out...

    WCHA 2025-26

    Does that mean that players are allowed to play the puck with the stick above the shoulders/crossbar at any time, or only on deflections toward the net? E.g., if a defender uses her stick to knock a high clearance out of the air and then recovers the puck, is that a whistle as it has been, or is...

    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    GWH is still more of a boutique sport. The program has always relied on getting key contributions from outside the state, but part of its charm and the reason it existed in the first place was that it included the same kids who fans had followed in the prep ranks. I'm not sure if the casual fan...

    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    For anyone familiar with how this works in NCAA programs, what is the role of a college GM? In the pros, the GM has managerial control over the roster and the coaching staff, but delegates many of the day-to-day tasks to underlings. In college, it would seem that this would be a lot of...

    No apologies necessary; thanks for doing all of this. I only noticed the one surname transpose. You put more substance into a UM post than I have this decade.

    Wisconsin Women's Hockey 2025-2026

    The Hall of Fame game does occur most years. It has typically been played in a HS rink, and because it is a single game, it usually matches two Minnesota teams, as others are less likely to want to travel to play one game. I did see Lindenwood play Bemidji in Eveleth one year, but that was in...

    2024-25 PWHL season

    When I saw the ads, I thought that the timing is most likely to capitalize on softball returning to the LA Olympics in '28. Is this a competing pro league for SB, or have all previous softball pro leagues disappeared? Sorry for being so uninformed, but it's been a busy summer.

    As the years go by, someone like Siergiej should benefit from having been a part of teams under so many different coaches. She should have a pretty good idea of what she'd like her program to look like (things she'd like to incorporate both on and off ice, what works both in the short and long...

    Thanks for all of the info that you're sharing. Don't know about others, my my lack of a response comes from having nothing to add, not from lack of interest. Appreciate you taking the time to update us.

    Interesting about PSU. At least they didn't opt to name it Penn State Related (or perhaps more accurately, Penn Commonwealth).

    Thanks for compiling all of this information. Penn State is the one that comes to mind.

    2024-25 PWHL season

    When MLB first expanded beyond NL and AL teams meeting in the World Series with no other playoffs, that is what they tried. The problem was that the higher-seeded team could lose those first two games on the road and return home in an 0-2 hole. If it loses that game, then the lower seed had more...

    Minnesota Gophers 2024-25

    Even though we've been in the doldrums, we have had players worth watching. In the case of this particular one, I'm not sure I'd have put together her career highlights without including a single assist from a player who ranks fifth in program history. Taylor Heise Career Highlights

    2024-25 PWHL season

    I'm trying to sort out whether or not that would be a good thing. Given seeding has meant nothing thus far, about the only value of the regular season has been to eliminate a couple of teams.

    True. But she was a teammate of Nurse, Desbiens, and Channel, and on the list of Badgers who didn't win NCAAs, going back to Timothy's original point.

    You had Blayre Turnbull on those teams as well. I never thought she was at quite the same level, but Tessa Bonhomme was predicting who gets predicted off each PWHL roster and she named Turnbull.
