Transfers thread

I figure maybe with all the transfers happening or possibly happening we should just have a transfer thread. Caitrin Lonergan just tweeted that her roommate, sophomore Caroline Ross, a D who played 38 games for the Eagles last season, has left to go to Colgate.

We know about Sauve possibly going to Clarkson.

Lindsey Agnew to BC from Minnesota

Rachel Moore to Holy Cross from BC



is it me, or does it seem like there a lot of transfers happening this summer?

It does seem like it...

Add Sydney Scobee from Vermont to Minnesota.

This question doesn't fit the thread title, but I'm going to ask anyways. Does anyone know roughly what percentage of girls actually get "full rides" to play hockey? On the team my daughter played on (at 19U) there were several girls that received some scholarship money, but the vast majority did not receive full scholarships. Any ideas? Just looking for the norm as I'm guessing 1/2 is closer to normal, unless you're an Olympic talent that all the teams are clamoring after.

This would be next to impossible to answer conclusively, as it involves personal financial information. But I would guess that your estimate is as good as any.

My understanding is a school get 18 scholarships to dole out. So, a roster of 24 could mean 12 on full scholarship and 12 on half. Something like that.

I'm not totally up to date on this, but many schools in the past didn't fund the full 18 they could of - simply a matter of school economics. This was typically the weaker/less committed teams. Vermont, Colgate, and Maine were a couple that I remember fell in this category 5 or so years ago. Regardless, I wouldn't assume that all schools are fully funding their scholarships available.

That is huge if it actually happens. I wonder if her getting subpoenaed in the lawsuit has anything to do with it. Seeley was allegedly very abusive to her during a tournament game

Who knows. If both rumoured transfers happen it will be big for Clarkson. There is always a story behind the story but not a lot of answers to explain these potential moves, at least not yet.

Don't have any knowledge of these players but it would make sense that if they both have graduated, as it appears, they have the opportunity to take their talents to Clarkson and make a run at a national championship for their swan songs in college hockey. (and get a year of graduate school). Not much of a chance at their current schools. No different than many professional athletes do at the end of their careers.

I haven't requested the data for the 2017 yet, but I compiled the financial information available for for all the school's that sponsor DI women's hockey for 2010 through 2016. My spreadsheet shows athletic aid amounts for all 29 schools (including Niagara and Wayne State when they sponsored women's hockey) that reported offering aid during 2010-16. Of those, the 14 public schools reported how many athletic aid equivalencies were awarded each year, how many athletes received athletic aid and how many athletes were on the team, from which I added a column showing how many did not receive aid. On average 17.27 scholarships were offered each year by each school, which includes 14 times 5 WCHA schools gave out more than 18 athletic aid equivalencies as it appears there are rules that allow aid to students on medical disability or with exhausted eligibility which don't count against the 18 scholarship limit. For those 14 schools on average 22 players a year received some amount of athletic aid while only 2 players a year did not receive any aid.

For the private schools information is much more limited, but they do have to release how much in total athletic aid dollars they offer and I researched average tuition at each school and came up with an estimated number of athletic aid equivalencies each school offered each year. For the 14 private schools that offer aid the estimated average number of athletic aid equivalencies each year was 16.82, slightly less than the public schools. For all schools that offered aid the estimated average number of athletic aid equivalencies each year was 17.03.

By the way, Maine has had 18 full scholarships available to offer since 2010 and averaged 17.67 a year from 2010-16. Colgate has had an estimated 17.5 full scholarships available since 2010 and has used an estimated 17.43 a year from 2010-16. Vermont used a low of 15.41 in 2011 and high of 17.92 in 2016, with an average of 16.68 a year from 2010-16.

I hope this helps.

Official now....along with Sauve. I have to say these immediate play transfers rub me the wrong way. I might actually dislike Clarkson more than MN now.

To ascertain if there is a hint of truth to your statement ask yourself this question. Who would you rather see win the national title this year IF it came down to a match-up of Minnesota and Clarkson?
