Boston College Women's Hockey '25-'26: It's The Hope That Kills You

Chris Vogel said:
Finally got approved for this site so wanted to share and introduce myself....

I'm the radio broadcaster for BC Women's Hockey and cover the team and women's college hockey for Boston College Eagles on SI and College Hockey on SI
Our broadcasts air free over twitter and/or YouTube (WZBCsports) ; we'll have all home games and as many road games as we can get to (most of them once football ends).
I'm a grad student at BC and do this as basically an unpaid volunteer since the team was getting next to zero media coverage at the start of last season; I won't be on all the games (Freelancing pays the bills for me, mostly for other schools ESPN+) but have a great group of undergrads to fill in for me when I'm elsewhere.

The NBC affiliate in Madison WI - WMTV - used to have a sports guy named Robb Vogel; he did play-by-play for lots of stuff, including some Badger men's and women's hockey. Any relation?
 
Yes, evidently when you have Hockey East player of the month, Ava Thomas, she helped propel BC to victory.

Back at it next week. We still don't have a schedule (a tradition unlike any other) but we do have an exhibition vs. Stonehill on Saturday 9/20 which will be fun. Lee-J brought Erin Connolly as assistant over there (!) so they're kind of a BC Lite over in North Easton.

Brown chicken brown cowwww 😎
 
:) Was a very good, much needed win.

Ava Thomas looks to be another potential BC superstar. My question is will she commit to staying at BC and try to help rebuild the program or will she join the long list of recent great BC players that decide to go elsewhere ( Pellerin, Jordan, Bilka, Barnes, Watts, Hartmetz, Guay, Norcross etc )

At some point we need to stop the bleeding. We are talking about Boston College !

This has nothing to do with anything other than she stinks at her job. Just brutal. Unacceptable at Boston College and I would say 98% of the people agree with me.

As usual, I find myself in the 2% demographic. And it's not because I think that she's some elite coach. The problem is that most NCAA coaches these days are competent, so it is difficult to lift a program up strictly via coaching brilliance. Look at some of the best coaches in the game and how many years they were in their position before they won their first NCAA tournament game. Your "brutal" certainly applied to her team the weekend that I watched them, but they have rebounded somewhat, so she must be doing something right. Do I think she should be fired? Nobody put me in charge of staffing the unemployment line, so I'll reserve my opinion on that one. I will say that she has a better record than the coach at UNH, which is a more legendary program in the world of women's hockey. Do I think she will lead BC to a title in my lifetime? I am awfully old ...

As for your other point, the majority of women's hockey coaches are nice, friendly people, even to reporters. That doesn't mean reporters become friends with them.
 
Lots of time left in this game at 5-2 BC but since Ava Thomas got ejected the Eagles have looked like monsters... so it's nice to see we seem to have some depth.

I feel like there has not been enough of a reaction to the return of RSTARR!!!!!!!!!! I am completely shook.

OK Guys - not sure why you are trying to poke the bear here after a sweep of BU but I'm grateful that you are thinking of me. Anyways..

Cmon Tony. Enough with the Kinger support. She is a disaster. She needs to retire soon or go coach high school somewhere. Its over. Hockey East is once again a National Embarrassment

Tara won a Hockey East Championship last year in her 2nd year. She and her staff all over the place with their recruiting. BU is on the way up. BC is another above average team that once again might have a chance at winning Hockey East but my bet is they have another weak 2nd half of the season.

I like Emma Conner. She works hard. I'm sure she is a great kid and a great teammate. Its not personal at all. But my question remains the same...Is that the best player Kinger could find with a full scholarship to play hockey at Boston College ?
