Yale Coach resigns

Re: Yale Coach resigns

Getting 18U players only proves how far off USA hockey is in terms of talent selection. If they are that good, why do they become average at Harvard? People can blame the coaches, but it is more of a lack in judgement in recruiting. Tons of talent out there that don't make those teams.

Hard to believe that Harvard and Yale records are so similar when Harvard continues to get the u18 National team players. Actually says something for Yale that they kept up record wise with Harvard. Tougher admissions, not the u18 players and basically the same record. Time for Harvard to move on?

Perhaps that's why she was brought on board this year in the first place? It may be a changing attitude towards athletics at Yale as a whole: she also quickly dispensed with the Yale women's soccer coach who had been in the position for 23 years.

Hmmm..... given that the former women's soccer coach was arraigned today in Boston for accepting bribes to get non-athletes into Yale as recruits for huge sums of money ($400K+ per student) and cooperated with authorities to convict the other folks arranging these admissions, I'm guessing that the firing might have been for other reasons :eek:! I'm guessing they will rename the endowed chair for women's soccer after someone else in the near future.

Also, I know for a fact that 6 or 7 years ago Yale used to play the AI game just like all of the other Ivies. Personally knew a girl recruited by the Flygh folks who was of very questionable Division 1 talent but had crazy high academics. She was told specifically that they were only interested in her to help get a low AI student who was a very high end player into Yale and that they could help get her in but she wouldn't play much. The minute the other girl committed somewhere else, Yale dropped the girl I knew and she ended up at a very academically strong NESCAC school.

Is what you mention here part of the bigger picture from this article?

Back to Hockey... I wonder if Brian Idalski might be interested/in the running for this position.

Thank you. Exactly. Players who make these teams don't always translate into success at the next level.
