    Very interesting read for sure. Sounds like when you turn your passion for hockey into your livelihood it somewhat kills your love and passion for the game. I get that. When you do something because you love it is different than when you do something because your bills and life in general depend on you doing it. Pretty clear that coaching became her life with little time for anything else in it, with little or no thanks from those she served. Sadly too many student-athletes and their parents have nothing but negative comments and complaints about their college coaches in today's society of entitlement, sometimes to the extent of costing those coaches their jobs. It doesn't sound like a very rewarding career, at least not according to her report.

      She's got it all figured out at the ripe ol' age of 25?

        Well she's figured out she'd rather find a way to love this game again, not be a slave to it. Sounds like she's for a good amount of wisdom already. Good for her.

                        Returning the favor for Adrian coming out to the East-West tourney in January of 2018, right?

                          Also noticed they have 26 games listed with the first designated 'exhibition' against St A.
                          Unless I'm wrong this is the first year that schools can play that extra game as long as its designated exhibition.

                            I only wish there was funding for more "favors" so we got a better notion of east and west.
                            Coach Bolding has put together a formidable non-conference line-up:
                            10/27 @ Adrain
                            10/28 @ Wisconsin River Falls
                            11/8 @ Plattsburgh
                            12/6 @ Amherst
                            12/10 Conn College
                            1/2 @ Trinity
                            1/7 Plattsburgh 8th East-West
                            1/8 TBD (Adrian or Elmira)
                            1/20 @ Elmira
                            2/6 Middlebury
                            Not too shabby, although daunting in playing away from the friendly confines of Kreitzberg so frequently.

                              This will be Adrian's 3rd time out to Kreitzberg. Norwich is always looking for top non-conference opponents to play.

                                Has to given the weak conference schedule he has to play - 1 conference tourney loss can knock them out of the NCAA otherwise.

                                Also - I wouldn't expect Conn to be nearly as good next year. Losing some good players. Back to the middle of the NESCAC pack.
