The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways.
Please note that you can switch between light and dark modes by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right of the main menu bar.
We are hoping that this new platform will prove to be faster and more reliable. Please feel free to explore its features.
It will, but two of the three who entered previously have already graduated, thus becoming ineligible in the Ivies, and it's hard to see many players choosing to leave Princeton anyway.
So to the other actual Gopher fans in this chat. How are we feeling re: the apathy? Roster looks a lot different up front; saying it's "better" is hard to argue but it looks like there was effort put in to improve it. Defense will be another year older, that I think is a positive. 23-player...
We're a year in advance of this but a good test case for players leaving college eligibility on the table will be Sarah Paul. Theoretically, she would have two years remaining after a November 2021 injury that cost her that season and the following one. I would expect that she, conservatively...
I think there is a benefit to maxing out your collegiate eligibility, at least until there's more certainty among PWHL salaries and opportunities. For the American players at least—where there's not as much in terms of endorsements on this side of the border—she probably feels a little more...
Assuming Primerano and Morrow remain the Tunnelers' first pairing, how the rest of the blue line time is split (Laitinen, Graham, Parkkonen, Jordan) will be interesting to find out. On the surface, this is the best Gopher blue line since Stecklein was on the team.
Something notable, not saying anything's right or wrong, just notable:
On next year's projected Minnesota roster, assuming #18 returns:
10 players from Minnesota
15 players from outside of Minnesota
Never thought I'd see the day.
I know what the GPL forum says but if I'm reading the game logs correctly Paul should have a second remaining year of eligibility if she wants it.
But yeah, I'll say why they need to go to the portal. Because their current roster isn't good enough. They're losing the second-, third-, and...
I absolutely do think Wisconsin won't be that good forever. O'Brien leaving means they probably won't be damn near unbeatable, even if they remain the best team.
I just don't trust Minnesota to step up, is all.
Harrington had stepped down at Mankato by this point. Same with Scanlan and BSU. Keady didn't leave Dartmouth until late May, which set the whole Duluth chain in motion. Fargo left Colgate in June and hired Sciba from Union in July. I guess St. Thomas has a different coach now than they did at...
I can't put my hopes in blind faith and things evening out just because they have before. I need to see this team prove they're not going in the wrong direction—or stagnating. And there's very little they've done recently that shows me they're on the right path.
Minnesota is still acting like the program they were 10 years ago and that they can just be handed a national title game appearance. Are they doing things differently? I guess maybe they're trying—they have recruited a lot more out-of-state in the last few cycles and I welcome that, although...
