Re: Franklin Pierce Women's Hockey
Saint Michael's and Saint Anselm are Division II.
Holy Cross is Division I as is Sacred Heart.
Is it time for those four plus Franklin Pierce to form their own league?
The ECAC East cannot handle two more teams (UNE is also applying for admission). It already has 12 teams, 14 will not work.

Re: Franklin Pierce Women's Hockey
Why not? You could very easily make it work by having two 7 team divisions within the East. Play the 6 other teams on your side twice, and the 7 on the other side once for 19 games and then go get 6 OOC games.

How do the divisions get split?
If you put 3 of the non-DIII teams in one division that's not fair to the other four teams in that division because they would have 7 games that don't count for NCAA's. Even if it's split it's still 6 games that don't count for every team.
It's time for the D-II's and D-I's to poop or get off the pot IMHO.

Re: Franklin Pierce Women's Hockey
Especially when you hear rumblings about Merrimack "fielding a team in the future..." If you look at the Northeast 10 schools you already have St. A's, St. Mikes and Franklin Pierce with teams. Merrimack investigating. Stonehill, Bentley, Assumption and/or AIC could easily field teams and create their own league.

Re: Franklin Pierce Women's Hockey
I hadn't heard the Merrimack rumblings yet but I'm curious where they would fall in line as to whether they could be Division I like their male counterparts or they would compete Division II/III.

Re: Franklin Pierce Women's Hockey
I can guarantee you it will never happen at Stonehill or Bentley. I wouldnt be surprised if the NE-10 lost some of it's men's programs long before adding women's programs was ever in the discussion.
I don't know the answer to this but how many ECAC East teams are playing Franklin Pierce next year? You'd think geographically many of them might be on their schedule...and if so it doesn't really say much about those teams being concerned about taking on an extra game or two that won't count for NCAA purposes. Sounds like you're basing your thoughts based solely on what's best for Norwich and Manhattanville and maybe not for sport, athletes, or league as a whole. The ECAC West already blew it by not taking on Stevenson, IMO. Would be unfortunate if the East made the same mistake.

Re: Franklin Pierce Women's Hockey
Stevenson atleast is a Division III school. Franklin Pierce is not.
It's very unfortunate the ECAC West shot down Stevenson. They aren't going to go through the motions adding the sport. They are looking to become a legitimate program.

I always thought highly of Crousette as a player. Good luck to her as she makes the transition, and Franklin Pierce joins the women's hockey crowd.

Re: Franklin Pierce Women's Hockey
Well you might have a point there. The tough part of both Norwich and Manhattanville's schedule are the non-conference teams. There is no challenge playing two games against teams like Southern Maine or a start up that may or may not have recruited well.

Re: Franklin Pierce Women's Hockey
I don't think playing weaker teams hurts anyone. I think they are good as tune-up games and other girls get to see ice time. It's also good for the weaker team who gets to see what separates them from the elite teams. Norwich has the out of conference games to play tougher opponents.

Re: Franklin Pierce Women's Hockey
Manhattanville was a bit off form last season (0-0 tie with Southern Maine and loss to Salve), but the problem for Norwich was not so much the tough non-conference contests, it was staying sharp and getting prepared for those games after playing (and walking all over) the day to day non competition in the ECAC-East (prior to their 2-0 loss to Amherst they played 4 games outscoring opponents 30-1 or the run before their 1-1 tie at Salve when they outscored 6 opponents 47-1).

Congrats and good luck to Crousette. I'm sure her passion as a player will translate over to coaching
