    WCHA Tournament

    Duluth (AMSOIL or The DECC) has hosted the WCHA Final Faceoff a few times. Were those years when it was known that the men weren't going to be home, or how did that never get bumped to a different date? BSU has also hosted, although it was poorly attended. This schedule bumping is a new thing.

    WCHA Tournament

    This is the first year I can remember a day off between semis and finals for the WCHA tourney. While it is true that this is common for the NCAAs, it isn't common for conference hockey tournaments around here. It might make more sense out East where so many conference rivals are in close...

    2026 NCAA Women's Hockey NPI Tournament Predictor

    Your point is very true regarding the WCHA Big Ten schools. After that, UMD is half of the size of Northeastern or UConn, but over the years has done more dominating than either Huskies or PSU. Size and $$$ matters, but I'm not sure that all of the larger schools like Syracuse spend as much as...

    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    Great find! There was a Princeton indirectly involved in that year, but the one I was remembering was longer ago. In 2015-16, the Tigers lost the third QF game to SLU in OT. Princeton then visited Minnesota for the NCAAs after watching the rest of the ECAC tournament. Princeton hasn't had much...

    Wisconsin Women's Hockey 2025-2026

    If Johnson starts her in net, will that send you over the edge permanently?

    Sunday hockey in Duluth and Minneapolis.

    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    It should probably be a thing that if you get bounced from your conference tourney in a best-of-three quarter that there's no NCAA Tournament for you (and I don't just mean hosting). I know that playing in NCAAs after sitting out the league semis was the case for somebody a few years back ...

    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    There is always a lot going on in town, but nothing that should greatly impact women's hockey. The MN girls state tournament ended last weekend. However, the opening weekend of WCHAs has always drawn terribly. A good portion of Minnesota crowds come via youth team attendance, and that ends with...

    WCHA Tournament

    My first thought was that any goal at any time in a series where there figures to be little scoring is great, no matter when it happens. But looking closely, SCSU's offense actually improved when they lost their Olympians, in that they only scored more than two goals once in nine games in...

    WCHA Tournament

    Based on what we've seen from European players in past years returning from the Olympics, don't expect those who competed for medals to be at their usual level during the WCHA Tournament. Some are able to bounce back and regain their form by the NCAA Tournament, but the emotional tank is pretty...

    2026 Winter Olympics

    From time to time, someone who is a fan of only men's hockey will come into this forum and post something like, "Who care's about women's hockey? They couldn't beat a peewee team." Today's men's Gold Medal Game was entertaining for sure, but how do coaches instruct their youth teams who have...

    Patty Kazmaier 2026

    That's why it has to be after the season ends and Ava McNaughton has won the Kaz in 2026.

    Patty Kazmaier 2026

    Three reasons why it is very difficult to compare Knight and Harvey at the NCAA level: they play different positions; the latter played her whole career with Olympic experience, while only the second half of Knight's career was as an Olympian; and the game has changed a lot in terms of...

    BROWN!!

    It's progress the last couple of years to use "Brown" and "playoffs" in the same sentence without some word meaning "not" or "no".

    True, but this forum also numbered more than 17 back then.

    Yes. At this level, when you have open net to shoot at, you've got to hit it.

    2026 Winter Olympics

    Re: Muzzy in 2002, in those days, I think there was still a thought, especially in Canada, that the best women's NCAA hockey was played in the East, and any result that suggested otherwise was an outlier.

    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    Isn't that always true at every NCAA school with a football program? It's all about the dollar signs.

    2026 Winter Olympics

    I understand your thought process, but to my memory, UM has never had a Canadian that made an Olympic roster. Given Canada doesn't have any future NCAA players on today's roster, fans of the Gophs don't need mixed feelings today.
