And good luck to the host Bowdoin Polar Bears FH team in their NCAA regional this weekend --- they take on Babson Saturday -- still a few chances for an all-NESCAC final

Not sure I have any ear to the rail for any team let alone the Mules, but am hearing this is not last year's team. AM hearing many changes from rear guard to front.

I had the privilege of playing against Ms. Johnson both in college and against Massport. My thanks to her for being one of the first true pioneers of women's college hockey (at least in the USA). An honor well-deserved.
Johnson '79 to be in Massachusetts Hockey Hall
Contact: William Sodoma
Date: November 9, 2010
RANDOLPH, Mass. --- Lee Johnson '79, one of the pioneers of the women's ice hockey program and the first Colby College woman to have her uniform retired, will be inducted into the Massachusetts Hockey Hall of Fame on Wednesday at the 16th annual induction ceremony at Lombardo's in Randolph, Mass., at 6 p.m.
Swampscott Reporter feature story: http://www.wickedlocal.com/swampsco...ducted-into-Massachusetts-Hockey-Hall-of-Fame
Johnson was a 1975 graduate of Swampscott High School and came to Colby after the women's varsity program was started in 1975. She played defense at Colby to keep her on the ice longer and still led the team all four years in scoring. Johnson was named team MVP her final three years, was in Sports Illustrated's Faces in the Crowd after starting her senior year with 23 goals and 15 assists in her first 14 games, and earned Colby's Millett Award for outstanding contributions to the athletic program over her four years.
Johnson began her hockey career with the Massport Jets, a girls hockey team started in 1968. She stayed as a full-time member through 1975 and helped the team win the first-ever USA Hockey Women's National Championship. Despite playing hockey at Colby, Johnson still suited up part-time for the Massport team and helped the squad win the 1978 national title.
Nominees of the Massachusetts Hockey Hall of Fame are chosen on a the basis of accomplishments in the game of hockey, sportsmanship, character, and contributions to his/her teams or organizations in college, amateur or professional hockey, or on international teams representing the United States.
The other 2010 inductees include: the Harvard 1973 "Local Line" of Bob McManama, Dave Hynes, and Bill Corkery; referee Ned Bunyon; University of Vermont coach Mike Gilligan; Boston University All-American and 1948 Olympian Jack Garrity; Massachusetts hockey builders Jim Cooney, John Gustafson, and Bob Rogers; and longtime Boston Bruins public relations executive Nate Greenberg.

Re: Nescac 10 - 11
Not sure if it's a Midd guideline or a NESCAC rule but players have a "wait" time between sports, 10 days is what I commonly hear mentioned. That would mean they would not be available for game action on 11/19-20. When I made the claim I was assuming that Cabrini wouldn't pose much of a problem. And, yes, the Tufts game was a long time ago and MIdd started uncharacteristically slow in FH this year....but Tufts has only suffered 2 losses...should be a good one.

By now most D-III teams have a handful of games under their belts, and the NESCAC teams quietly practice amongst themselves heading directly into their first league game next weekend without nary an exhibition game to prepare. Unfair to say the least.

The Bowdoin field hockey team lives (barely in a 4-3 win over LVC) to play in the national semis next weekend (and maybe the finals too if all goes well). This means that five members of the Bowdoin ice hockey team will be otherwise occupied this coming weekend, including returning goaltender, Kayla Lessard. Middlebury was not so lucky today as its field hockey team ended its season with a 3-0 loss to Ursinus .

It is a choice that NESCAC schools have made it has advantages to it and disadvantages not unfair. Every team starts it's season at some point NESCAC is not special they have control over thier own schedule so if there are problems the fault lies with the coach and AD at their respective schools.

Re: Nescac 10 - 11
Huh??? The rules setting the starting date are league-wide rules established on a collective basis by the presidents of the schools -- ADs and coaches have no ability to change the starting date . .

Re: Nescac 10 - 11
I'm sure dogwatcher meant that. His point still remains that it is the collective powers that be of the NESCAC schools to impose their own restrictions on when they start their season.

Re: Nescac 10 - 11
At some point don't the ADs of the school have input on the rules and if you joined after the rules were in place then that would be a choice Or they could just whine about it after the fact . As far as the coach thing goes , they right the schedule for the team so now you have it all of it is totaly self inflicted. But if all of this is up to up to the " collective" it is still self inflicted. THEY TOOK THE JOB KNOWING THE RULES YOU SENT YOUR KID KNOWING THE RULES The rest of d-3 hockey had nothing to do with it .

Re: Nescac 10 - 11
It was set in place long ago - no individual AD would have any ability to change this rule and nor would there be any institutional interest in changing it anyway because the NESCAC actually does have a good number of two-sport athletes . .

Re: Nescac 10 - 11
I recall 2-3 years ago the NESCAC presidents participated in a discussion about whether or not liberal arts schools should withdraw from DIII and form a 4th division? It was ultimately voted down, but most of those presidents recognized that if they were in a 4th division they would be very comfortable eliminating the tips admissions. Perhaps we'll never know what impact the AD's had on this decision.

Re: Nescac 10 - 11
It is about time these silly NESCAC teams get playing hockey!
Bowdoin over Colby (the Polar Bears are back...even if some of them are still playing hockey without skates)
Amherst over Wesleyan x 2 (I think the over/under on Amherst goals for the 2 games is 13)
Midd over Hamilton and Conn (but I did move Hamilton up in my pre-season NESCAC standings and Conn, I am told, will be better this season)
Hamilton over Williams
Conn over Williams
Trinity over Manhattanville (next Tuesday, in Stamford, an anniversary special!)
