Re: NESCAC 2017 to 2018
I know of no NESCAC women's player (and I know at least 100) who was told not to take classes on Friday or at night by a coach or school as a result of playing women's hockey - that simply isn't the priority at these schools. That doesn't mean they didn't miss some Friday or evening classes for away games, but most of the NESCACs have 1 rink and (as a result) variable mens and womens practice schedules that specifically avoid creating these conflicts/issues. Now most girls try to tailor their schedule to work around their activities, but that is true of EVERY student. And the girls I know ranged from pre-med to business to art history to sciences/math majors - all across the map. I even know a few NESCAC women players who took a semester abroad and returned the next season.
To your point, this is in marked contrast to almost all D1 schools (my daughter was specifically told at a couple of schools she visited that she could not major in her desired field because the courses conflicted with the womens hockey schedule) and some of the non-NESCAC D3 schools where hockey is the higher priority.
