    2024-25 PWHL season

    In hockey, the scoring plays so often come down to mistakes. Both goalies had a goal that they'd want back, despite playing well overall. Phillips in particular had a strong night, at least when she was in the net. Minnesota will need to do more with the prime chances it does get if it's going...

    2024-25 PWHL season

    I wonder how the new teams, and existing teams for that matter, will balance the short and long term. The player most likely to help a team win next year versus in three years may have different answers. Because the salaries aren't huge, some veterans could opt to retire and move on to life's...

    2024-25 PWHL season

    It will be interesting to see how long home ice continues to fail to be decisive in the PWHL postseason. Lower seeds have triumphed in all five series played to date. Top overall seeds may request relief from the rule that allows them to pick their first-round opponent, giving the chosen...

    Wisconsin Women's Hockey 2025-2026

    The disruptions won't be the same in terms of absences, but if past results are any indication, the Olympics will still have an impact beyond weeks when a player on an Olympic roster is away. The Games are such a physical and emotional focus, that when players return, it can take some time...

    Minnesota Gophers 2024-25

    We don't care about the apathy. Up front? I think that they are going to miss Huber a lot. The few times that I watched them live over the last couple of seasons, she was the most noticeable player. Yes, Murphy generates the highlights, but Huber was the one who would get on the puck and get...

    Minnesota Gophers 2024-25

    Yes, new sports and leagues always lose money, be they men's or women's. At some point, you need to invest to produce income in the future. The next Caitlin Clark can't come along and boost popularity if there isn't already a sport in place. While gymnastics tends to be a niche sport at the NCAA...

    Minnesota Gophers 2024-25

    Much of the problem is the attitude of our society as a whole. We aren't that far removed from a time when a woman's paramount duty was to give her husband sons. Progress is slow and painful, in part because so many are insecure and need to pull others down in a futile attempt to make themselves...

    Transfer Portal 2025

    Don't know what the nature of her injury was. The challenge with goaltenders is that even if a program likes the player, they need to have a goalie slot available. Teams can always find room for a quality forward, but in net, it's more complicated.

    Looking back, college was the best time of my life. Didn't have much money, but more money, more problems.

    It seems like it would be a rather complicated decision. Sure, there are monetary considerations. Depending on what and where somebody is studying, combined with NIL potential, it isn't as simple as with or without a pro salary. PWHL is now the highest level at which they can play, but the...

    Transfer Portal 2025

    It says something about the condition of UM recruiting that you can have that many leaving for the portal and not lose a ton of shifts. Vetter is the biggest loss in terms of stats, Connor might be the biggest in terms of obvious impact. As for Connor bleeding maroon, it's not like she'll need...

    What I think is noteworthy about this over the years is where UM's go-to recruiting locations outside of Minnesota have been. Europe is definitely a change that started with the first two Finns and has picked up steam in recent years. But as far as the rest of North America goes ... Chicago and...

    Gopher leads remind me of my 401K accounts; they looked to be worth something at one point, but now? Not so much.

    2025 Women's Worlds starts tomorrow

    Only saw the highlights; with the quantity of weak plays through the middle in the D-zone, I don't know that I could stomach the full game. Doubt Canada is too worried.

    Big Ten Women's Conference is Coming!

    That's a good point. I do wish that more programs that opted for D-I would give their programs the resources needed to compete at that level. Obviously, I don't know what schools are looking to gain when they introduce athletic programs (exposure, opportunity for students), so I can't judge...

    Big Ten Women's Conference is Coming!

    I don't think it's a question of guts. If people wanted to shy away from competition, wouldn't they pick a league where they could be a standout, rather than somewhere that will require them to battle in practice every day? People like nice things. If they go a program where the facilities are...

    Even if they might be somewhere else, it is still nice to have all of the information consolidated here. Thanks!

    Michigan State getting a women's team?

    Any chance that Western Michigan considers adding women's hockey, given a peak in hockey interest and a $300M facility on the way? It seems like a new program would have a greater chance of success if it is doing so from a position of strength.
