What is it with number 1 seeds from the state of Minnesota and crappy teams from Central and Western Mass? St, Cloud State Huskies take pipe... Again! Ouch.

BC beat Providence to move on the Hockey East Final Four.

Just to update the puck heads, BC lost to Providence on OT. St. Cloud beat Miami Ohio 5-2. That may send some over the edge but I could not resist. This thread has been interesting to say the least. At times insightful and of course combative.

Did not know Rice had that large of an endowment. Oil loot!

Ahh, gotcha. I have not been heavily involved with the internal stuff up here at the school I graduates from. I used to be more in the know, then I had kids, then started coaching my kids and now I have zero time. I stand corrected.

I may be speaking out of turn so don’t hold me to this but a donor can endow a scholly to the “baseball program”. The Jaromir Jagr Family scholarship. So you give out the 11.7 actuals and then another kid who is not on scholly gets your Family Scholarship. No clue if UM does this but I am...

Football has the scholarships, they obviously need the donations for facilities. I am not telling you anything you don’t know however. Too bad people with loot don’t understand that positive publicity to the University is a good thing. What can you do. If baseball can get five to seven...

Interesting read. This has come full circle. College hockey teams (private university’s) endow scholarships as well. We used to get 20 fulls and then title 9 took place. We went to maybe 14 fulls. Now the kid who will turn pro after a year will get a “full scholarship” but the coaches know...

Interesting. D3 is legit hockey. I know FGCU has a very good club team as well as some other programs. Had no idea there were three divisions. Good info. D1 has changed so much since the 90’s. Kids are ultra skilled man, game is fast. I played against Paul Kariya back in the day, he was...

Thread name got changed to college hockey.... I go to da box and feel shame, 2 minutes, you free. Sorry to all the people, save four people on this board, who have no clue about college hockey. I am embarrassed by my actions and thread occupation.

If you could play hockey at ASU would you? Ahhh yeah. They are going to be good and the rest of the West should follow. PAC Ten could have a league easily. Recruit BC and western Canada AND California. Kids from the mid west and east would go. BC and BU’s young kids leave early.

Northeastern is good, Jimmy Madigan has done a great job there. Providence is also a good team. BC and BU are down. Too many young kids, they both need to recruit some older dudes. They have too many 18 year olds.

Not a fan of the Gopher. He won the World Junior and took the Gopher job. Matsko will turn that ship around, unfortunately.

WCHA and the CCHA were great. The WCHA final five was dynamite. Then the Big Ten sucked the life out of it.

They have the horses

I always considered Hockey East the best league in the country (maybe a little bias) but the NCHC is the best now. St. Cloud needs to get over the hump. I played in the old Marriuci, pretty cool. You walked up a flight of stairs to get to the ice. That was a cool barn. The Big10 screwed up...

I never played at the Ralph. It is unreal and Sioux fans travel man. We played against Wisconsin at the Bradley Center, 17,500 SRO In warm ups. Crazy atmosphere. Everyone in the barn was hammered. We averaged just under 5k at Conte, BU and Maine were loaded back then. We probably broke...

Word around the campfire is they want to build a 5,000 seat bowl for hockey only, like BU or like Munn at MSU. Now my seat is very far away from said campfire but that is the word. Jerry has people who can raise that kind of money pretty quickly. BC Hockey and it’s supporters are a powerful...

Yorkie just signed an extension brother. It will be tough pulling kids in with Jerry and his age. Unreal run but he is a little long in the tooth. I am not young and I played for him...

It’s BC, I am not surprised. The hockey/hoop barn has zero atmosphere. I have not been over there, the fact that they have a baseball stadium is a miracle...
