          It's a little before my time but given their commitment to women's hockey, I'm going to guess they had a very strong school commitment to the program from the start.
          And as you mentioned a different era, but still possible at least.

          Even Northland was able to field a full roster in their first year and they're a small school in the middle of nowhere....

            Coach McPhee has done a very good job at Endicott. He's enthusiastic and dedicated to recruiting. I thought Coach Lewis did a good job over at Johnson and Wales for the 2 years she was there, putting a hard-working team on the ice. A unique team too, as I recall, w/ a number of Swedish players on it.

              Hey just wondering after reading some of these interesting posts regarding DIII hockey, do these schools give out scholarships or financial aid ? And does a DIII commitment page/thread exist ??

                No scholarships, just aid. The aid must be in proportion to the aid given to the student body. For example, giving financial aid to the 20 Canadians on the hockey team, but not the 80 Canadians in the physics department is a no no.

                  Endicott did a great recruiting job even here out west. The daughter got recruited by that school and was very impressed with the effort, just decided that she didn't want to go that far from home. But you got that impression that they were serious and intended to do the program right.

                    There is a little black magic in the process. They can "stretch" the financial aid a touch, when they hand out merit scholarships most schools have a range of money for a certain GPA. Finally there's the on campus or residence job that the player just happens to get.....

                      Some nice matchups on tap this weekend.

                      Middlebury/Conn. College play 2.

                      St. Thomas and Augsburg in a home and home series. We'll see if the Auggies are for real this year with that 6-1 start.

                      Gustavus Adolphus/River Falls play next Wednesday in a big one.

                        You appear to have overlooked an item on the schedule Prez. Will you be in Orr for the Cadet visit on 12/6? That could be a big one.

                          Negative. Obviously have my eye on that on as well.

                            Both Plattsburgh and Adrian taking the frustrations of their low-scoring Thanksgiving weekends by drubbing alphabetically-adjacent conference opponents tonight. Adrian has a 10-1 win over Aurora and the Cards have a 5-0 lead on Potsdam.

                            Bowdoin beat UMB earlier today 2-1 in non-conference action. Amherst and Trinity are scoreless heading into the 2nd period.

                            Edit: Plattsburgh finishes off with 3 goals in the third to finish off 8-0 over Potsdam. Freshman Annie Katonka with the hat trick. Melissa Sheeran and Mackenzie Millen add 2 each and Courtney Moriarty also had 1. Kassi Abbott with her 3rd straight shutout. Rematch tomorrow in Potsdam.

                            In other action, Amherst is up 3-2 on Trinity late in the 2nd. UWRF and UW-Superior are tied at 1 in the 2nd and St. Thomas leads Augsburg 1-0 after 1.

                              I'd be surprised if any team in this pathetic conference scores a goal against Plattsburgh, let alone beat them!
