But that's what worries me. Given the trend towards academics at the expense of athletics (not that they have to be mutually exclusive), I don't have a lot of confidence that once it goes South it can ever be the same again. Not sure the commitment is there. To me it's more sad than embarrassing. Something is only embarrassing when people make enough effort to be good and fall short. This is more like just "fading away." I'm not even sure anybody in the administration really is losing any sleep over hockey. And if I'm wrong about that, somebody please enlighten me. We all saw what happened with football.
On the other hand, this could be a glass half-empty viewpoint. But in order for that to be proven wrong, "someone" needs to address the issues. I'm not really sure that anybody is "willing" to do that. It's the elephant in the room that nobody seems to want to talk about and I think we all know what I'm referring to. If you're not too sure and/or would like an opinion from an "objective" non-invested source, go read a few recent post-game posts on the Maine thread...
(apparently it's very cold up at Alfond...but nice coat...)
if professionals can't form intelligent questions on what they just witnessed and look for answers from the players or coaches, how can we expect kids to do so?
