The Boston Blades are a member of the growing league, CWHL, and are the defending 2013 Clarkson Cup Champions. The Boston Blades roster included players from three different national teams last year, USA Canada and Czech. We have D1 players from many colleges: BC, BU, Minnesota, Wisconsin, UNH, Harvard, Providence, Northeastern, RIT, Mercyhurst, Minnesota Duluth and also competitive D3 players! We have a mogul in women's hockey as a head coach and GM, Digit Murphy, head coach of Brown University ranked among the most winningest coaches with 318 carrer wins. With help from Ryan Stone (who was the assistant coach at Colgate) and Mariel Lacina (who played at Dartmouth) along with a great support staff. Two weeknight practices and weekend games allows for both full time work or full time school. Prospect camp will be held at 570 Somerville ave Somerville, MA on June 1st. Interested with questions email Digit at Digitmurphy1@gmail.com with the subject line "Prospect Camp 2013". GO BLADES!

Many are as difficult to matriculate at as the Ivy's. That said, some schools within the division pride themselves in excellence at all levels including athletics while others sustain their athletic programs without demanding the same excellence or providing competitive funding.

Over the last 7 years, measured in winning and losing seasons for the hockey programs, several teams stand out at the top and several hold control of the bottom.
Amherst: 7 winning seasons
Middlebury: 7 winning seasons
Bowdoin: 6 winning seaons
Williams: 5 winning seasons
Trinity: 5 wining seasons
Colby: 4 winning seasons
Tufts, CC, Wesleyan, Hamilton: 2 winning seasons.

The athletic budgets for the schools vary by several fold as Middlebury outlays $5M/yr on athletics with Williams and Amherst spending about $4.7M. Several schools in the Nescac spend closer to $1M including Connecticut College, Tufts, Hamilton, and Wesleyan. Budgets do not seem to be tied directly to endowments as Tufts has one of the largest endowments (1.7B) and ran a surplus on their budget the last several years. Amherst and Williams have an endowment > 1B while Connecticut College is around 200M and the remaining Nescac's 500-800M.

It is obvious that several schools place no emphasis on the sport and are clearly satisfied with poor results as they maintain consistency in their coaching staff in spite of consistently losing seasons: Tufts, CC, Wesleyan. Others are trying to make changes but those changes haven't born fruit yet: Hamilton, Colby. Trinity has made changes and their fruit is bountiful. And then the top programs maintain their consistency and dedication. ]]> nasa69 http://board.uscho.com/showthread.php?105034-Is-Hockey-Important-to-Nescac-s 2nd Term Part 4: Donkeys, Elephants, and Porcupines http://board.uscho.com/showthread.php?105033-2nd-Term-Part-4-Donkeys-Elephants-and-Porcupines&goto=newpost Thu, 16 May 2013 14:55:03 GMT Continue. :D Continue. :D ]]> USCHO Cafe FlagDUDE08 http://board.uscho.com/showthread.php?105033-2nd-Term-Part-4-Donkeys-Elephants-and-Porcupines <![CDATA[Wisconsin Recruiting Vol. XXVI: Make him an offer he can't refuse]]> http://board.uscho.com/showthread.php?105029-Wisconsin-Recruiting-Vol.-XXVI-Make-him-an-offer-he-can-t-refuse&goto=newpost Wed, 15 May 2013 08:08:09 GMT

The off-season thread. Next season will bring new rivalries, new venues and new hopes. Who will be captains? Who will be the great incoming players? Who will surprise and inspire? There's a good mix in the schedule with just one game against BC left to finalize (likely at the end of the regular season). I gotta admit, I'm nervous about next season. There will be growing pains for sure, but how will Notre Dame fare come the end of the season?

Their list excludes scholarship athletes who depart early without a diploma (within a decade). This is unfair! The "Rah-Rah" spirit generated by recruiting probable early departures provides their schools with a notoriety which must increase gate receipts and increase alumni contributions, thus benefiting the return-on-investment of the general student population. Omitting the generous salaries of early, non-graduating athlete departures explains the return-on-investment rankings for most DI schools with hockey programs. ]]> Osorojo http://board.uscho.com/showthread.php?105014-College-hockey-and-return-on-investment The Cicadas are Coming! http://board.uscho.com/showthread.php?105012-The-Cicadas-are-Coming!&goto=newpost Wed, 08 May 2013 14:23:32 GMT Queue media mass hysteria.
