Re: Maine Hockey
That is not true. Sacred Heart is D1 but only started offering scholarship monies last year in an effort to improve their program. They were a group of walk-ons for years. It is difficult to get D1 caliber girls to come play hockey without offering scholarship $$ and tuition at 56K/year. They will get better but it will take time. As for Maine, they are a very talented collection of girls from all over the globe with recruits from Russia, Latvia, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Czech Republic as well as our Canadian neighbors. They roster only 8 girls from the US. I would expect them to win their league handily with that type of reach, correct?

Re: Maine Hockey
Yes it does take time to recruit and build a solid program...hoping it happens for SHU. As for the recruiting part at Maine...yes there are a lot of girls from over seas and I can say I have no problem with it...once they put that hockey sweater on they are playing for MAINE...and its hard to compete with the likes of BC/BU/NU/Wis/Minnesota's/UMD for top tier talent(no excuse/just a fact)...so at Maine it has become a so called UNITED NATIONS TEAM, and so be it. I have followed them from the start of the program and figured they would some day be a legit team...or at least a solid program...but that has not happened.

Apparently, coaches in Hockey East do not share your assessment. Pre-season poll has Maine finishing 8th in Hockey East.

Re: Maine Hockey
And they could very well be right on that...if anything a 6th place showing would be the highest I see them...but again that could change after say 12 games and the team bonding together. Have to start beating the top 4 teams in Hockey East...until they do they stay down in the pack.

A scoreless tie... rare.
I am more of a fan of the girls now. At least I can watch them for free. And also they have an ability beyond the boys. They have more talent on their line up. Probably a better coach too.

i KNOW what you MEAN. Why do you capitalize normal verbs and adjectives? It makes me WONDER why? You emphasize so much. And I wish I knew what you mean by this.

Re: Maine Hockey
I'll try to resolve that in the future...but then if that's all we are worried or bothered about...then everything today/tomorrow or down the line is going to be fine.
NO problem at ALL. Wishing you THE best. The KEY is that the girls DO well. Sorry to BOTHER you.

Re: Maine Hockey
Tough weekend for the women...2 losses at home to NU and BU. Another tough weekend on the road this week with games at UNH and BC. Noticed both Zikova and Pribylova out of the lineup...injuries or healthy scratches? Thought Nicole Pateman did well on defense. 2-3-1 record, figured it would be better then that...same old-same old, need to beat the top teams in Hockey East...still not doing it.

Ayuh. No confidence against the big teams. They will get it someday.

Maine tied BC 3-3 at BC.

Solid weekend for the girls as they beat UNH and tied BC for three points on the road. They seemed noticeably better this weekend. Even though it was a tie, I think the BC game was their best one so far. They went back and forth with a good team. If not for the two penalties late Maine might have taken it. Then again they got the lead because BC took bad penalty too. Jackson did great in net.
