  • how come?

    Popular opinion insists that the success of a D1 college hockey program absolutely depends upon 18 hockey scholarships and a roster which relies upon recruits who will probably leave college after a year or two.

    Facing these (reportedly) insuperable obstacles how come the Ivy League manages to regularly put two or three schools in the top ten D1 hockey programs? Better coaching? Brighter players? More stable rosters? Smarter recruiting? Any opinions about this phenomenon, excluding outbursts of scatology?

      Because:
      Polls are meaningless.
      Players at Ivy League schools may not get athletic scholarships, they still often get financial assistance.

      Now that that has been settled, please start your next pointless thread. Thank You.

                The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.

                    2. Brown and Dartmouth have both been runners up - but it's been a while.

                        Let's stop you right there. Who says this? I think most would acknowledge that while it's a valid route to success, there are other routes. Those other routes may require more effort (in recruiting and in finding financial aid for players) and maybe even more luck (in finding recruits who are not destined to leave for the pros in a year or two), but I don't think anyone denies they exist.

                          It all depends how you define success. Would Michigan, Nodak, BC, et al be satisfied with being in a top 10 poll (or even ranking) every couple years? No, they would not. For any team to achieve the level of success that those types of teams want, it would need to give out 18 scholarships and would need to bring in at least a few truly gifted players even at the risk that some of them could be gone in a couple years.

                          The idea that Yale or Cornell (the current tops of the Ivies) is actually on par with the true powerhouses is preposterous - they aren't. People consider Cornell to have been on a "good run" lately, but they've missed the NCAA tournament 5 out of the last 11 years - hardly one of the elite teams in college hockey. Yale's success is more recent, so it's hard to say if it will stick, but recent trends make it seem unlikely. The last Ivy NCAA championship was 21 years ago, and no Ivy has even made the championship game since then. I'm content with the current level of Ivy play - but let's not kid ourselves by thinking that they're elite teams.
                          If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

                            Possibly he thinks
                            this is some form of flirting
                            and he wants Dirty.
