    Re: NEWHA Conference Announcement (Scholarships, OOC Scheduling, Autobid, etc.)

    As a native Long Islander I’d be happier if NEWHA was GAWHA (Greater Atlantic), but I’m not looking this gift horse in the mouth. I grew up at a time before Wisconsin was a state and the only thing women were doing on ice was cutting figures, so the reality of a team from Brooklyn bringing D-1 hockey, to say nothing of a team like the Badgers, to Syosset is remarkable. And at a time when the women’s pro prospects are somewhat muddled, it’s nice to read the informed enthusiasm of The Ice Garden’s stringer when he applauds the current state of the women’s collegiate game. The equally non-boilerplate enthusiasm of the LIU coach is also encouraging, given the challenge of starting a program where there are no mercy rules. The Sharks are #1 in my pre-season conference poll, though I’d ditch the name for something a little more tourist friendly.

          I've been instructed by Vegas not to rank the rest of the conference.

          D2D, for the first time in 8,176 posts you have landed on the wrong thread! The NEWHA (aka Greater Atlantic Conference) is not likely to be Twitched.

            mnwis, late night hi-jinx aside, I know nothing about these teams, other than that one is from Brooklyn, is starting from scratch, and appears to be diligent in doing so; therefore my ancestral Flatbush heart is with them. Call me a homer from long ago. Your thoughts on this league surely have a lot more going for them than mine.

              For a moment there, I thought this had become a general-interest thread, and was prepared to throw in a couple of Megan Keller puns.

                  I hope the new conference succeeds, does ok out of conference, and doesn't get embarrassed when they play their 1st NCAA tournament game.

                      Total joke that this conference is getting an autobid.

                        I am SO excited about this for my own selfish reasons -- my wife is an alum, and I spent four years hanging out on that campus on the weekends and always hoped they'd start a team

                          I got to chat with the Stonehill AD before the presser and he was a great interview:
