    I would rather play at a packed Mariucci - that was my point
    I find women's hockey is much better and more exciting on standard NHL size rinks, not Olympic sheets. The game slows down too much on the bigger surface and missed passes are more numerous. D1 not so much as D3 of course. D3 definitely belongs on standard rinks.

      As would I, but it's just not realistic. That was my point.

            The potential Shirley situation makes me ponder how Cianfarano would have impacted the outcome for UW the last 3 years. Schools should have the same minimum admission standards across the board and have elevated ones for certain programs.

              Wisconsin's admission standards are definitely affecting their wins and losses, don't you find it refreshing that they actually have academic standards? While first hand the U of M and Quinnepiac are letting these girls in, for women's D1 athletics maybe they are preparing these girls for there future? Besides I am not sure TT has had an impact that the other recruits have accomplished. I find it refreshing that they have standards. While losing in the National Championship was disappointing, with no real financial pro league to provide financial security it is great to see an institution not sell there soul to hang banners. Young women have been picking schools based on banners and not degree's for years and it takes a very high moral standard to decline a 5 star recruit admittance based on academics and not sweeping it under the rug.

                It's hard to argue with this, it's just as little sad a young lady can't fulfill her dream and go to the school she wants, though that in itself can be a good life lesson. Hopefully somehow it comes together for Sophie.

                  It should be noted that the problem with Cianfarano's admission was failing to meet a Big 10 standard, so she wouldn't have been admitted to Minnesota, either.

                    There you go again, bringing a fact into the discussion.

                        These things are bound to happen when you commit to girls 3 years before they graduate. Actually I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often, but maybe that speaks to the "value" placed on their athletic abilities versus their educational abilities......

                          Ummm...No they aren't. Where is the proof of this? Wisconsin's record for the 3 years without Cianfarano is 97-14-9 with 8 of the 14 losses coming against Minnesota. Minnesota is definitely having an effect on Wisconsin's won/loss record.

                          So are you implying that other institutions, besides Wisconsin, "actually" don't have much in they way of academic standards?

                              What happened with Cianfarano doesn't speak to anyone's academic abilities, and the long lead time of commitment ought to have made her rejection less likely, rather than more. The specific issue in her case was not grades; it was that she didn't take a sufficient number of what the Big 10 considers to be core academic classes. No one, so far as I know, has suggested that she wouldn't have passed that extra class had she taken it, or that it indicated that she wouldn't have been academically successful. My understanding is that she could have been admitted to Wisconsin, but that she wouldn't have been eligible to play hockey as a freshman and would have had to redshirt.

                              Given how far ahead she committed to Wisconsin, she really ought to have been aware of the set of classes she needed to take to be eligible. There is some confusion involved with Canadian high school students, but someone should have been on top of this. Some of the blame falls on the Wisconsin athletic department for not communicating. If this has happened again with Shirley (which, so far as I can tell, remains nothing but an unsourced rumor, and even if she isn't eligible, we don't know if it's the same issue), then it's on Mark Johnson.

                                I agree with this. The support staff sure as heck must be informing the incoming players of what classes they need and what they count towards, but sometimes all indications say class X will count for a humanity but some stupid academic bureaucrat know it all says it counts for a science and then you are screwed. Been there.
