    She could have enrolled in one of the CEGEP Quebec colleges. And another cheap shot taken at Clarkson. Never seen someone so jealous over the Knights 3 championships.

      Jealous...haha. UW has more NCAA's and always will (yes, those are fightin words). I just like poking the tiger once and awhile, look at it as a compliment. Clarkson is a force and is set to be so for a long time. I do regret rooting for you against the rodents in 2017. The rodents had given UW a hard time and UW swept Clarkson that year @ Clarkson, so I rooted for the Knights. I'm just thankful it's Clarkson and not BC.

        Here’s the thing, Wisco do the same with their recruits maybe on an even more frequent basis but it is not talked about. I believe Emily Clark was held back a year although not sure about that. They did it with Shirley last year and there are likely very valid reasons for doing so but this practice is not isolated to Clarkson. There are very few French speaking players leaving CÉGEP in Quebec to make their way to the US to play. They prefer staying closer to home and Clarkson has become an interesting option for some but not many. I have no issues with this practice as long as rules are being followed. It makes for a better product on the ice and we saw excellent hockey at the Frozen Four so something is working.

          Both the Canadian Olympic team and the Badger's have had "Drive for Five" campaigns in the past couple of years or so. Methinks they need a new slogan. How about, "Let's just try to do better next time."
          It would be kind of funny if Clarkson did beat the Badgers to five. Not that I'd want that or anything, because it would not bode well for my favorite cute little rodent's team.

            Clark was born on Nov 28, 1995. Her first season at Wisconsin was the 2014-2015 season. That means she turned 19 in the middle of her freshman year. In my experience, that is utterly usual, whether the freshman in question plays hockey or not.

              As for Shirley and her NCAA eligibility, this article describes the process and restrictions, etc. It is the same thing that allows male players to play for teams like (the only two I can name) the Green Bay Gamblers and the Madison Capitals while retaining NCAA eligibility. Also how NCAA baseball players can play in the 'summer leagues' and retain eligibility.

                She could have taken classes at UM-Madison similar to what Amy Potomak did, and take a redshirt. They ARE student athletes are they not?

                BTW, Sarah Potomak, a true freshman, ended your season and put BC down 1 with how many seconds elapsed in the championship game? 13 I think it was

                    Don't believe it will matter if she is not an impact player.

                      Surely Shirley will be a PK finalist at some point.

                        So we can call her Shirley?

                            Thanks. Late 95. I would guess that +90% of freshmen that year were born in 1996. It doesn’t matter. The only reason I picked up on this is because I think she is the best player in the NCAA. I love watching her play and hopefully next year she gets recognized a little more. She plays both ends of the ice and makes anyone who plays with her a better player.

                              I pulled up the list of freshmen on the WCHA stats page for 2014-15, intending to look them all up. But the farther down the list I went, the harder it got to find birthdates. So I quit after 25.

                              2 born in '94, 9 born in '95, 10 born in '96, and 4 that I couldn't (easily) find.

                              I don't know about other people and other places, but when I was a kid growing up in Wisconsin, 'standard procedure' was that the cut-off was during the summer; kids born after maybe July or so would start school later and be the oldest kids in class, while kids born before July would go earlier and be the youngest kids in class. So you might expect 50% or maybe a little more to be born in the 'next' year, and 50% or a little less to be born in the earlier year. Much like Clark, I was born in mid-December, and turned 18 as a senior in HS. As far as I know, that is utterly normal.

                                I think typical is starting college at anywhere from 17 years 8 months, to about 19 years. Multiple provinces in Canada, maybe the whole country, use calendar year cutoffs so a December birthdate, you would start Kindergarten at age 4 and 8 months. Ontario used to have grade 13 which made for older freshmen but ended it in I think 2003. So typically, it’s just the Quebec kids that would be older.
