Brown to cut 11 sports. Hockey is not one of them.

Yes, but according to the article it has nothing to do with the coronavirus, it is a planned reorganization of sports at Brown, the review of which began in 2018, so posting it here is a bit of misdirection. Furthermore, Brown is not cutting the athletic budget, but is reallocating the $500,000 or so spent on the cut sports to other sports, with women's soccer and men's basketball being mentioned. And finally, Brown is adding two varsity sports, women's sailing and coed sailing.

Re: Coronavirus

Dawn Staley, South Carolina BBall coach, was on EsPN radio this morning and the school is bringing back basketball players July 1 and listening to the steps they will take is going to be interesting and complicated. But, they are going to try it out. Football goes back on June 8. It is interesting how basketball can go back, but not hockey since they are the same season.

Correct... I just figured this was the more appropriate thread for the article. No "misdirection" intended. Just an article about a school and that they are keeping hockey which, according to the thoughts of many on this thread, would be one of the first sports to go. That is all.
 
Re: Coronavirus

Hockey Canada still hasn't decided what the regular season will look like for minor hockey (boys and girls), so far everything is on hold. No registrations for the fall, no tournaments approved.....nothing.

The only thing we've heard from the OWHA (Ontario Women's Hockey Association) is that we will be able to register players sometime in June but without collecting any fees. Hoping to have more clarity on what the season might look like by the end of June.
 
Re: Coronavirus

Bemidji State announced today they are bringing everyone back to campus on schedule. Students will be one to a dorm in many of the dorms and many classes will be "remote". Hockey may indeed be right around the corner! :)
 
Re: Coronavirus

It's looking good right now, but all these non-social distancing demonstrations are not doing us any favors on this front.
 
Re: Coronavirus

I am taking the opposite take - these demonstrations are blowing the lockdown out of the water. California all of a sudden is allowing filming and gyms to reopen in the near future. NYC is reopening soon.

No restrictions leads to colleges reopening and college sports.

NYC is reopening because they have "bent their curves" down on every measure, new cases, deaths, testing percent, "active cases". Lots of other places are opening despite not having met the criteria they're supposed to meet; NY is doing so "legitimately".
 
Re: Coronavirus

FWIW (which is apparently how I start all my posts now) Duluth has posted half a schedule for 20-21. Dates and opponents for games to be played in Duluth, including a series against Robert Morris. No listing at all for any road series, conference or non-conference.

Really an odd way to handle it, but as I said, FWIW.

My guess is that the home schedule is being expedited with an eye toward season ticket sales. Per this link, there would be a deadline coming up on 6/19 for priority sales of season tickets, so it would be nice to at least release the who and when of the home season.

In contrast, UM sent out season ticket renewal notices in April without any information as to dates, times, or opponents. And yes, I did renew our tickets.

That's the company line, the reality is that you can't keep summer in a box in NYC. I watched CNN and Fox over the weekend and there were thousands milling about and they were not protesting. There were even impromptu bands playing on the news.

I suspect many (like me) are taking a 'wait and see' approach, both with respect to the virus being under control and a final schedule that is committed to.
