    That wasn't my point at all. I just wanted to know how are goals assigned when it goes off the other teams equipment or body? Does it go to the person closest to the net or the person who shot the puck?

    Since I was cheering for PC, I don't care who gets credit for the goal.

      It goes to the person they "think" put it in. If it goes off an opposing player it would be the person who shot the puck. I realize Wakefield didn't shoot the puck, but they must have thought she touched it.

        True, but it was announced as Poulin's, and was credited as Poulin's on the stat sheets at the end of the period.

          Announcement of Vermont head coach Tim Bothwell's resignation.

          BURLINGTON, Vt. – University of Vermont head women's hockey coach Tim Bothwell stepped down on Wednesday after six years at the helm of the program.

          “It is with a great deal of professional disappointment that I announce my resignation today,” said Bothwell. “I was hired to move the UVM women's hockey program forward and we have moved forward in very significant ways since 2006. However, in the coaching profession at any level, wins and losses are the ultimate measure of success and, from that perspective, I accept full responsibility for the lack of success we have achieved in my six years as head coach. This past season has been a particular disappointment. We had a very strong freshmen class but many factors, including key injuries, meant fewer wins than anyone expected,” continued Bothwell.

          “I would like to thank UVM and Bob Corran for the opportunity to come here. He has been tremendously supportive of me personally and the women's hockey program. I also want to thank Grant Kimball, Mike Gilligan and Jeff Cooper for the countless hours they have worked to make the program better, our support staff who have been terrific to work with, and Kevin Sneddon and the men's hockey staff. I couldn't ask for a better, more cooperative group to work alongside. To everyone, I wish the results could have been different,” stated Bothwell.

          Bothwell, who came to UVM from the Canadian Olympic Team following their gold medal victory at the 2006 Olympics, compiled a record of 39-138-21 during his six year tenure. In 2011-12, Vermont posted an overall record of 7-17-9 and 4-13-4 in Hockey East.

          In 2009-10, under Bothwell, Vermont won 10 games, a Division I program record. UVM also won five Hockey East games that season, matching a school record.

          “I want to thank Tim for his unwavering support of and service to our student-athletes and athletic program,” said Dr. Robert Corran, Associate Vice President and Director of Athletics at Vermont. “He consistently approached his coaching role as that of an educator, using athletics to teach student-athletes' life lessons and to prepare them for success in the world. There are few coaches I have known who care more for their athletes than Tim. He will be greatly missed and I wish him much success as he moves forward from UVM,” continued Corran.

          Bothwell coached three Hockey East All-Rookie selections during his time at Vermont (Erin Barley-Maloney, 2008; Roxanne Douville, 2010; Amanda Pelkey 2012). Additionally, 25 student-athletes were named to the Hockey East Academic All-Academic team or Academic All-Star squad during his tenure.

          The search for a new head coach will begin immediately. Current coaches Grant Kimball and Mike Gilligan will oversee the program until a new head coach is named.
