West is going East? Is North going South too? I won't know which end is up.
It's madness! What is the world coming to!

Who / Where did you hear that? Why would she want to leave a national championship team???
o.k.- maybe not hillary knight- but did overhear at the Harvard game last week the J. Martino is transferring to B.C. ????
Second line D for Cornell---------Can anyone confirm???

Coaches talking at the Harvard Game- she is from the Boston area

Re: BC Women's Hockey Offseason 2010: Stack Strikes Back
Umm, well if it was true---to get some ice time?
I don't have any idea if she would ever consider a transfer, so I don't wish to fuel any such rumour mill. I would hope that academic considerations would remain foremost in any player's mind in such decisions.
But if you watch Cornell much, you know that Fortino and Rougeau rarely get off the ice as it is, and they are only freshmen. However, behind them Young would certainly be a top D in many programs, and another 2 top notch D recruits are also joining Cornell in the fall. Makes for a whole lot of defensemen competing for not much ice time left....in return for a very big time commitment.
I suspect winning a championship (not that such a thing is EVER guaranteed, much less in a one and done format) doesn't mean a whole lot if you don't feel like you contributed to it.

well this year- she was getting a regular shift- so i would not exactly say she did not contribute ---- if she did not play, it was due to injury/ requiring surgery
I'm not so sure one would leave an ivy league institution-

Re: BC Women's Hockey Offseason 2010: Stack Strikes Back
She had the first assist on the tying goal in the 3rd. Hard to make a case that she didn't contribute to her team's success. I know nothing about the player or her future plans, but I don't think the time to speculate about any player's rumored transfer is on the eve of her team's biggest game ever. The offseason will be here soon enough.
Re: BC Women's Hockey Offseason 2010: Stack Strikes Back
I hope you are not inferring that BC is less of an institution?
what ever the reason------- hope it is true!!! she is a player!
BC could use a player ( D)-- that sees the ice well and that can move the puck-

Oh my. I must humbly apologize. I certainly never meant to even remotely insinuate that this particular player has not, nor cannot, contribute quite significantly to her team's success. Of course she has. As well as happily a very big contribution in their most important game todate, too. Nicely done.
My intention had been to try to comment only generically in answer to a question why any player might ever consider transferring from a championship team, specifically anyone who happened to be a defenseman on this one. Without attributing to any specific individuals in specific situations on specific teams, it's generally true that if you don't feel like you made a meaningful contribution to something (whether that's actually true or not), winning can still seem a hollow consolation. No doubt it can be very challenging at times to be in the long shadow of those deemed superstars. However, it is also true that no championship is ever won by only a couple of players--and quite often it's actually those other very steady-and-reliable players who are usually out of the spotlight, that can ultimately prove to be the difference-makers in the end.
Of course, I certainly hope every player at Cornell (and everywhere else) continues to be happy, productive and fulfilled right where they are. You were all recruited for good reasons.
I know I'll most definitely be rooting specifically though for Martino to work some more magic for Cornell tomorrow.
Best of luck

Oh god---without thinking I somehow managed to insert both feet in my mouth in one post! And I'm no contortionist.
Nope...academic comparisons never even entered my mind either...only meant that I would hope any player wouldn't leave any good school primarily for the sake of more ice time.
Whatever happened to just trading hockey cards instead of actual players?

I'd say that if a young lady from BC wants a UW lid, she should get a sized one that fits properly. That cap looks several sizes too big, like some gentleman put her up to it just for a photo op!While your at it what do you make of this photo?

Looks like she finally realized there is nothing to be gained in being an Ohio Taint fan.

I would bet my life that martino is transferring to Boston College. Heard from multiple reliable sources, and all the dots connect. Kennedy, Boston, more playing time.

Re: BC Women's Hockey Offseason 2010: Stack Strikes Back
I am still not sure she is heading back to Boston----
Given Kennedy, Boston is her hometown ---- I cannot see her parents letting her give up an Ivy education----
