    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    In 2006-07, the Gophers were swept in a series by MSU. That was Coach Halldorson's final season. Just saying. My better half and I were both suffering some respiratory virus or whatever it was this week. Maybe the Gophs were dealing with something as well. If not, they sure managed a...

    WCHA 2025-26

    I heard the theory that the increased width changes the angles of plays originating near the boards and throws off goalies and skaters. If UW was still a lockdown team like it was 20 years ago, then I could see where having to defend more ice would throw off their gameplan of taking away time...

    WCHA 2025-26

    Not sure how much the big ice helps them versus UW, as that tends to ultimately favor the team that has better speed and puck skills. When Eric Rud was their coach, he told me that versus UM, he felt that the wide surface hurt his team more than it helped.

    What is the worst thing about women’s college hockey?

    I agree with the main point. For example, WCHA games scheduled for Friday evenings are far more likely to start at 6 pm than they once were, and that looks to be the preferred time slot. Maybe the reason is that the sport is trying to target younger children more than it once did; I don't know.

    Are there 15 teams in the country better than SCSU? Maybe, but I can't name them.

    Owing to Colgate's 3-0 defeat of Cornell, the unbeaten ranks are down to only PSU. Cornell was at #2 in the NPI, but dropping one to the team Grant shows at #19 will do a little damage.

    Wisconsin Women's Hockey 2025-2026

    Back when my family still owned dairy cows, my mother would make what was called farmer cheese. The final step before serving it was to put it in the broiler briefly and brown a thin crust on it. The result looked much like the pictures from Cheese Brothers. It had a higher moisture content than...

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

    As usual, I find myself in the 2% demographic. And it's not because I think that she's some elite coach. The problem is that most NCAA coaches these days are competent, so it is difficult to lift a program up strictly via coaching brilliance. Look at some of the best coaches in the game and how...

    2024-25 PWHL season

    At least in the postseason, it looked to me like all lines and D pairs did play. With the number of games that go to OT, coaches are almost forced to play everyone, or the skaters that do play will wear down. It isn't like NCAA teams, where there may still be a definite drop down to the 4th...

    2024-25 PWHL season

    For sustainability, I think that they have to be. In order to get fans to attend and/or view multiple games, buy merch, or anything else that will generate revenue, the fans have to find the games entertaining. Without that, more teams produce greater losses rather than profit. Even with six...

    Wisconsin Women's Hockey 2025-2026

    Maybe things have changed in the new NIL era, but previously, those associated with the program can't speak about specific recruits until they have signed. If it's a case of recruiting or committed but not yet signed, a coach, volunteer or otherwise, shouldn't comment.

    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    On UM's second goal, she made a save where the rebound bounced off of a UMD defender and toward the goal. The Gophers' announcer described it as her seeming to injure herself trying to lunge at the puck before it crossed the line, and maybe a shoulder injury. My takeaway was likely upper body...

    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    Seemed like kind of a strange game. Gophers played a good first period with nothing to show for it, but then they got a couple of bounces in an uneven second. Meanwhile, the 'Dogs lose a game and a goalie.

    Ohio State Women's Hockey 2025-26

    That system would be imperfect as well. These teams are next scheduled to play during the Olympics (would #8 for UM's suspension count if she's not in the same hemisphere?) Other times, teams would meet in the postseason, or in the case of seniors, maybe never. IMO, it is something best handled...

    St. Thomas - New Season in a New Arena

    Hope the St. Thomas fans and team enjoy their new arena! As for St. Thomas having success versus SCSU, 7 goals on 37 shots makes the journey a bit easier. Both teams can feel like they should have won (in regulation) the game that they eventually lost in OT. Given that UM also owed its split in...

    Threadbare

    Prior to the time that NCAA women's hockey became an NCAA sport, there was very little reporting available on it. This forum served as an informal news outlet. Each form of social media seems to be tailored toward a different purpose. You can find a lot more video of games/players on YouTube...

    Minnesota Women's Hockey 2025-26

    The Gophs are going to have plenty of games this year where they are without two of their top five D. Not sure why they felt it necessary to add another one to the list, especially given that it will be versus a team that they really need to finish above in the standings. Situational awareness...

    WCHA 2025-26

    While the game has gotten more physical as a whole over the years, anyone who thinks that there weren't altercations before this wasn't watching the first 15 years of UMD vs UM. We learned that orange Gatorade, or whatever that was, doesn't clean up off the ice very well.

    Worst 'Homer' NCAA D-1 Women's Ice Hockey PPV Announcers?

    Not sure if they haven't watched one, but it seems that they have never listened to one, so they don't know what good audio sounds like. They are often students. At one point, UM would use former players, and some of them were very good. Others wouldn't say much, but at least they understood the...
