2011-2012 Dartmouth Big Green
I thought U a Cornell fan, Matt.
A little nervous about Dartmouth: hard start. Tough games coming in right away; many away (reviewed elsewhere on this site this year by me; can't remember where?)
So Cantabs as usual SAFE, EASY, NO-BRAIN choice for second by worst pollsters around: ECAC coaches. As explained elsewhere coaches leave to assistants and that means generally, IT DON'T GET DONE WELL.
Pshaw...
Wha? Irritates me. Always a contender this Bostonaise team. Even when not- amongst the unknowing. Were certainly a power last year though!
[ :<) ]
(home made this face...)
I do have to say that I was trumpeting the Green when the Winter Olympics last came round- as the winter Ivy at its best. But then I checked the actual stats: alum at Harvard (same as above...) impressed. Don't let that get out: merely such as Dick Button, Tenley Albright, Bill Reilly, many others; of course, as previous, a few in ice hockey. Men and Women (cants/tilts the results- whole hockey team is named versus say, one cross country skier, etc., named...)
Not so much skiers for H. but great inestimable quality winter sports names from the front, not sports page.
I believe They- this Bay State American now international name- second oldest college in North America or so...have earned more gold medals than any Ivy in winter Olympics.
So, Matt- I'm O K w. u covering for me while I am detained elswhere...
But Coach Hudak and his assistants keep the ball rolling. I don't doubt they will remain competitive in 2011-2012. Not a bad freshman goal and Nanji underrated w. only three lost through graduation, they might just hold their own out there for another year (keeping out of that dreaded eighth ECAC slot)?
Year in year out, they seem to like playing; they seem to like each other. Helps I think. Teamwork. And inestimable hustle. Number six last year- against yr. Big red. She simply would not let your team down ice. Congr. Medal of Honor on Ice. Whole Cor. team stymied it said (in the Hanover Gazette...etc.)
Bravo COACH HUDAK AND HIS GANG!
Matt, I'm hoping we'll do O K. Can I count on yr. support?Last edited by papulaisle; 10-19-2011, 07:34 PM. Reason: I wanted to say more/and I may not yet be done

Originally posted by papulaisle View PostYikes, Coach!
Some start.
After maybe mandatory McGill you go to town immediately.
Woof!
Oct. 23 commences-
BC, Clarkson, SLU-away;
New Hamp., home (hope UNH still 'asleep'; but weren't so asleep that they couldn't defeat Green last season...)
Cornell, Colgate away up there in perpetually cloudy, overcast Central NY; big, big, Big Red looking to kick some Green butt after skunking- being skunked... in New Hamp. rink (Thompson) (Great, great job, Dartmouth women!!! Was there - you TOOK IT TO 'EM!!)
SLU, Clark. at home.
Cantabs in Cambridge.
Northeastern and Harvard (again...) home.
NH and Prov. away.
Dec. 31- it's over...
Season over?
Seems so with such a great, great start.
Yikes, girls - bring yr. dancing shoes!
Also, we ALL are anxiously awaiting call by ECACF (Fallible) coaches as to what to DO with Green THIS year...
This correspondent greatly enjoyed last year's ECACF coaches' guess/and team's response: "We hope to surprise a few people", I think it was. D. team chose as year's motto after Green picked at eighth (of twelve) slot but roused themselves to finish nationally in the eighth slot.
And that they did wonderfully, I thought.
Great good wishes and good luck- Buena Suerte! to the Dartmouth Women's Ice Hockey Team in 2011-2012!

Whoops, only did a cursory perusal and didn't see that thread. If I had, I would have posted the article link there.

Thanks, ARM. And thanks, Matt. Will welcome yr. support, Matt! Too, I can take a look at H.C. team perhaps early in the new year. As for Minn. As for Minn. Uhh, as for Minnesota... is that the spelling? Don't really care much currently for 'west' teams although this annum am some impressed w. former, "Fighting Sioux" was it?
Dartmouth defeated McGill women in Hanover today 3-2. Encouraged this maniac D. alumnus.
