Re: D3 Hockey is back!
Why does this bother you? Are the ladies playing not capable of making their own decision? Just because it's not safe for you to do a Spartan Race doesn't mean others can't.
Look at the bright side, the goalie had 90 saves!!!!! 90

And as their schedule shows Stevenson isn't even that good. Imagine if DW played a top team like Plattsburgh, Amherst, Elmira, etc?! There would be 200 shots. Oh wait. Maybe not. Those coaches have the class to have their players back off in some way. 39 shots in the 3rd period? Really?! No class shown there.

Ditto!
Who are we to decide what these girl's want to do. Maybe they don't care about the score and are just happy going out and playing the game of hockey. There's more to a season then win and loses. I actual give the girls credit for staying the course and not giving up.

I don't think anyone is stopping the big red machine this year...and who knows when they will. Their best two players are sophomores.

Re: D3 Hockey is back!
I can read fine. What you wrote is "The Men's league can handle the large number of teams because of the nationwide hockey programs. Even teaching in Arizona, I've known several boys that are on hockey teams and now play in the juniors. That doesn't happen with girls in AZ.". These four girls played hockey in Arizona, went to play hockey in what is effectively Juniors for girls - NAHA, Team Pittsburgh (who Newkirk really played for), Colorado Selects - and now play college hockey. Apparently it does happen for girls in AZ. Perhaps you should read what you wrote from time to time.

I stand corrected. Wealthy girls whose parents can afford to ship them across the country and don't mind never seeing their child do have those opportunities. Your standard 14 year old Arizona girl...does not.

While I think it's admirable for what's left of the team to 'not quit', getting outshot 193-10 and out scored 30-0 is not playing hockey! That is survival for 60 minutes, nothing more! Look at their previous games way too many 10+ goal losses. It's not a matter of safety it's a matter of integrity. Next year go play ACHA and regroup

Re: D3 Hockey is back!
Likely the girls will not stop playing because they have desire and commitment and the coach will not stop them because he is getting paid, which is why a responsible adult like the Athletic Director needs to step in and shut this fiasco down before a serious injury occurs. Getting shellacked 10-15 to nothing every game and outshot in the 100 shot range is not hockey nor a measure of integrity/commitment. It is just stupid. This program never should have started this season and the AD should be fired for allowing it continue. Mostly, it is an embarrassment to the college that it is being allowed to continue not because they are losing big but because they can barely field enough players and safety is a serious issue. As a youth coach, I cancelled games where we had less than 8-10 players (increased as the kids got older) because of safety issues. For a college team to regularly take the ice with 6-8 skaters is simply not acceptable under any circumstances. It shows a wanton disregard for their student/athletes.

Re: D3 Hockey is back!
This is my only beef right here. They're skating 6, with 1 goaltender. You literally have one player on the bench. You can't play hockey like that at this level. The scores and shot totals will happen from time to time with a first year program. That will improve with time, assuming this program survives. If they had, say, 10 skaters and a couple goaltenders, enough for a decent line change and a backup goaltender, I wouldn't be saying a word. This is like playing college football with 14 players on the roster.
I even brought this up with our AD at one of our men's games this weekend. I showed him the box score of Friday night's game and how many they dressed. The gist of his reaction, paraphrasing: "No way. You can't let that happen."
