Re: Transfers thread
Nothing official yet, but supposedly junior goalie Jenna Brenneman from Clarkson to Penn State.

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?
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.
And I suppose if the transfers were to Wisconsin they would still rub you the wrong way.
The B5 has the sit out 1 year transfer rule unless your team shuts down like the sue.
Just to clarify, it is the "immediate play" that rubs you the wrong way?![]()

I don't know why you would say they where poached. You might want to ask why they didn't want to stay at they school they were at. You don't just decide to leave a school you have been at for 4 years for nothing. Although a chance to enjoy the ride if Clarkson is able to win its 3rd straight title would be a bonus. Going to be a challange through with the Olympians back.
There does seem to be a real trend here. Probably just a coincidence.I agree, I'd love to know who got the ball rolling in both instances.
Read this article at the Ice Garden about the two transfers and look what you find in the final paragraph...Clarkson has been secretly cloning one of their best players!
They are evil...

I use the word poached because both were in really good spots to contend, to be major contributors to their teams without changing schools. I could see if you were on a bad team, had your degree and want to finally play for a contender. I agree, I'd love to know who got the ball rolling in both instances.
Like Russell Wilson in football.![]()

I'm the author, I'll admit I blew it. One of those were supposed to be Loren Gabel.
It's been fixed.

Minnesota Minnesota Minnesota!
Lots of conflicting values and emotions on this one...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.
Lots of conflicting values and emotions on this one...
First, I highly doubt that Clarkson did anything against the rules. Further, I've been on campus in Potsdam, and I can assure you it's a likable place.
Second, students shouldn't be required to go to grad school at the same place they got their undergraduate degree. In many cases it's quite beneficial to get a second academic perspective on a new campus.
And yet...
Immediate play transfers also rub me the wrong way. It's yet another case where individual self-interest takes absolute priority over "old fashioned" values like loyalty.
Those of us "outside of the room" don't need to know all of the reasons behind a transfer. In general, my feeling is that if the player is required to sit out a year and she still wants to go, the reasons must be compelling. In such cases I'd have no inclination to second guess. But an immediate play transfer? Setting aside current loyalties in that circumstance feels just a little too easy.
Legislating against grad student transfers isn't the answer. And I have no hard feelings against Kassidy Sauve for exercising a fully legal option. I just wish loyalty mattered a little more than it currently does -- society wide.
