Harvard Crimson Women 2012-2013

Agreed. It is a talent pool size issue. There is 40000 females playing hockey in Ontario. That is a huge pool to draw top talent from. D3 players do not tend to travel as far as D1 players to go to school. Hence the West D3 schools draw a lot from Minnesota and Wisconsin and the East D3 schools draw a lot from Ontario, Quebec, NY, CT and Mass. That east pool is probably twice the size of the one in the west.

For the folks who like numbers, below is a comparison of D1 and D3 players (2012/2013 rosters) by the players region (home town based ) and the conference summarized by east or west


D3 East = ECAC E & W and NESCAC D1 East = ECAC, HE, CHA, Indep
D3 West = NCHA MIAC D1 West= WHA

East Conferences
D3 D1 Player from:
60% 31% from New England and East Coast Non New England states (include PA)
18% 40% From Canada
8% 8% From West Region (Dakota's West)
13% 20% From Central - Minn to Ohio
1% 2% Overseas
100%100%Total East

West Conferences Player from:
3% 3% from New England and East Coast Non New England states (include PA)

Thought I'd make my first career post by dropping this bit of news.

Looks like Harvard bagged a good one to help out under Maura Crowell during the year of Coach Stone's absence, but I must admit I'm the furthest thing from a neutral source...

Either that schedule is a work in progress or Dartmouth has seceded from the ECAC.

Didn't notice Dartmouth missing but I'd say everything above is set and they're still trying to schedule the Dartmouth series for somewhere in the empty spaces on the schedule.

One of the Dartmouth games could take place during the week between the Beanpot semis and final. There are no games on the schedule during that week. The other game would probably be scheduled around Thanksgiving.

What surprises me is the weakness of the out of conference schedule. Once again, no western teams. And other than BU and maybe Northeastern, there isn't much there. I have to believe they are going to schedule another team in January.

Probably true. There are only 6 non-conference games at the moment, but I doubt it will be a western team for only 1 game.

We'll give you a run for your money. Again;)
 
Re: Harvard Crimson Women 2012-2013

Schedule now completely complete. Dartmouth series and last non-conference game (home vs. BC) added. All 3 fellow Beanpot teams visiting Cambridge this year. 4 of 5 non-conference games at home, not counting the Beanpot.

Re: Harvard Crimson Women 2012-2013

The US team is nationalizing, correct? Wonder if we won't see an exhibition between the USA and Harvard in that case.
 
Re: Harvard Crimson Women 2012-2013

Four years ago Team USA played the ECAC All-Stars at Yale and the Hockey East All-Stars on the big sheet (Lake Whit) at UNH. Here's hoping they play at least one exhibition in the Boston area -- Hux is probably in the know but I have no idea if they will play on the Olympic size ice in Durham this Fall.

They actually played the ECAC all-stars at Quinnipiac....was a VERY cold and windy day and the short walk from the garage to the rink was brutal. I would expect we would see some sort of repeat of the exhibition series vs the various league all-stars. I will pop over to the rink this week and see if any of that has been set yet.
 
2013-2014 Roster

2013-2014 Roster

Just getting caught up.....and continuing to think about the age-old questions of long and short benches, Zdeno Chara-like minutes, and roster versatility.

This year's roster contains just 10 forwards, 6 of whom were on the top 3 lines last year and 2 are freshmen,
while there are 8 D, including 4 freshmen. Should be interesting to see how the lines and pairings shake out.

At D, while we can expect Edney and Gedman to play major minutes, there will be plenty of playing time left this year for the others. After all, Picard and the seniors who graduated played somewhere between 2/3 and 3/4 of all D minutes last season. Next year, in contrast, when Pucci and Picard return, there will be an awful lot of by-then veterans competing for ice time before Pucci, Gedman and Edney all graduate in 2015-2016. So look for 2014-2015 to be the year of the Big Push, at least with that much talent competing on D.

This year the wild cards will probably be (1) how quickly the freshmen will develop, (2) whether this year's coach will have any different approach to the long/short bench issue, and (3) how our opponents, particularly the other Beanpot schools, will feel the loss of their own key players at the national level (I think BC and BU lose 2 apiece, NU, UNH and Cornell 1 apiece, after discounting players who've already graduated).

Re: 2013-2014 Roster

Cross-posting myself from the men's thread:

The Ivy League is offering an all-Ivy digital "TV" package. 12-month league wide pass at $96, school specific year pass at $72 until Aug. 21, then price goes up.

The League-wide pass includes everything the network has to offer from live home and selected away games in HD across a variety of sports, including football, men's and women's basketball and men's and women's ice hockey, as well as on-demand programming and additional premium content not available anywhere else.

Each of the conference's eight schools will have their own individual channel, featuring live and on-demand video and audio content from home and away contests across a variety of sports. The Ivy League will have its own League-wide channel featuring all available digital content across the conference.

Powered by NeuLion, the completely redesigned, nine-channel network will include an easy-to-navigate interface with a League-wide network schedule and new interactive touch points to showcase the expanded content offerings available on computer, mobile and tablet devices all without the use of an app.

Video pass

Video pass

Interesting...does it include all Harvard games in all sports available last year at a somewhat higher price on the Harvard-sponsored Harvard-home-game--only package?

And the reference to "selected away games" presumably includes some non-Ivy locations, because if you sign up for the all-Eight package you would automatically get all Ivy v. Ivy games since they would be one team's home game?

If so, then this looks like a very good deal.

From what I can tell from the announcement (and a couple of tweets sent my way from the Ivy office)

If you purchase the Harvard package, you get any Harvard Ivy league game (with a caveat), regardless of if it is home and away - provided the game is not blacked out due to TV (eg - NBCSN games). However the away games have only been confirmed for football, men's basketball and women's basketball (for now). Not sure if there's an ECACHL problem in that but hopefully they will be able to confirm the same thing for men's and women's hockey too. But this should provide every home game that Harvard broadcasts, regardless of sport.

In both cases (school specific or League-wide pass), the "selected away games" seems to mean non-Ivy away games. It depends on if the host school decides to share the broadcast. It is, as far as I can tell, more likely if the opposing school uses NeuLion broadcasts (which will be a switch for Harvard fans as I know Harvard was not NeuLion but I believe PrestoSports.)

Anyway, take it for a grain of salt. Sending responses in less than 160 characters can be difficult to it still leaves some interpretation to me.
