Of course it’s for the players. Representing your country is more important than a holiday tournament in college hockey.
Yeah it’s been awhile since we’ve won the national championship but we played for it in 2011 and were in the Frozen Four just 3 years ago. 2020 no tournament and 2021 we didn’t even lose and got sent home because of ridiculous covid rules that applied to some and not others.

Then UMich has to decide. If individual accomplishments are more important than the team, back out as host of the GLI. Pretty simple.
But those players NOT representing their country can still play in a holiday tourney, can't they? For some, it may be their only chance to step up and prove themselves. Why shouldn't they be allowed to play for their university?
It all comes back to Michigan being afraid of losing. Yes, they would be at a disadvantage, but quitting is never a good look for your program.
I agree 100% that representing your country against the best in the world is more important than a holiday tournament. But both can exist if you have enough players, not because you don't have enough studs.
Ha ha ha! Ok, you got me! One spotted 17 years ago...
I love that you fact-checked that. And I mean that with no malice. Good stuff!

Just off the top of my head, I can count 10 teams--some with depleted rosters--that refused to "Michigan" (yes, it's now a verb) and played their scheduled back-to-backs. No reports of any players or staff turning into snowflakes.
Hope y'all enjoyed the football game as much as I did.

One of Michigan's colors is Maze, which is really "YELLOW". And they are just proving that, why would you want to play for a "privileged" team instead of a team that earns the respect!

We actually may go to a game, now.

not particularly bad
I think it'll be interesting to see how long it will take to get into a game now. I was worried about wT baby, but since the policy is ages 12 and up, I don't have to get her tested every week (thank goodness).
I also wonder how it may affect the resale market. Not sure how many games we'll be going to, but would like to recover costs where possible when we choose not to attend. Looks like tickets on stubhub for this weekend are still priced near face value...but lots available.

From the Free Press after the skunk men's hoop team lost at Rutgers:
"The tenor of Tuesday’s game lurched in a new direction roughly an hour before tipoff when an athletic department spokesman revealed a slew of roster problems for the Wolverines. Key reserves Brandon Johns Jr., Terrance Williams II and Frankie Collins were unavailable due to medical reasons while Zeb Jackson, another rotation player, did not travel due to a personal matter. Walk-on Jaron Faulds and video analyst Jaaron Simmons were also not with the team for medical reasons."
So they went ahead and played with a shortened roster, even though they're going to play 3 games in 6 days.
And you're going to tell me "the administration" stepped in on hockey, but did nothing with men's basketball?

What a fucking joke
Boston University required Vax card and photo ID from day one this season and it did not delay entry at all. It's a quick check at the door before you walk in the building. Yes, I realize you probably average more fans, but if handled properly, it shouldn't be a big deal.

Same policy and same result at Northeastern before it went to a no spectators policy for the indefinite future.
