Looking at ticketmaster last night, the middle of the rink was getting pretty filled, but the corners and ends were still essentially empty, and they weren't selling tickets for anything in the upper levels. I suppose that could change dramatically in the next month - I don't know how well it's being advertised up there, and I only discovered the game was happening last night - that seems a little optimistic to me.

(From what (little) I understand about redshirt rules, she should be fine.)

Originally posted by Eeyore View PostWould this mean that if a player gets cut late in the year, they could come back and finish the season with their college team while retaining a redshirt? That could really get Timmy wound up. If it's the case that you can play a part of a season with your college team and then leave by choice, rather than injury, and take a redshirt, it's a screwed up rule.
I think there's a certain percentage of games threshold that has to be met for you to petition for the redshirt. And then you can't return that season, period.Last edited by TonyTheTiger20; 10-28-2017, 07:31 PM.Grant Salzano, Boston College '10

Originally posted by TonyTheTiger20 View PostNo I am definitely positive you can't come back after the fact and keep your redshirt. I think the difference here is that her leaving for the rest of the season was an unforeseen circumstance. Coming back before the season was over means that you're continuing your season.

There are now like 9 D listed on the roster. What happens if Barnes gets cut? Does she come back to BC? If not, there is a good likelihood that she makes the Olympic team in 2022, and would then finish her BC career in 2023. That's a long span of a career (10/2017 to 03/2023) w/o involving injury."...

Originally posted by Eeyore View PostCategorizing this as an "unforeseen circumstance" is an abuse of language. It implies that it isn't a circumstance over which you had complete control; Barnes has chosen to leave BC for the rest of the year.Originally posted by ARM View PostThis is the first time I've ever heard of a player leaving for a non-injury/medical reason after playing games and retaining eligibility in women's hockey. I suppose the rule has been on the books for a while, but it is rather strange.
BC's original news release said she withdrew from school and would restart her freshman year "both academically and athletically" in September 2018. I reached out to athletics and they seemed pretty sure about it. Obviously it's good for her and for BC if that's the case but if it was another school I'd be pretty mad about it... lol

It's definitely not a situation I've ever heard of.Last edited by TonyTheTiger20; 10-28-2017, 08:22 PM.Grant Salzano, Boston College '10

Originally posted by TonyTheTiger20 View PostShe can't, she withdrew from school (as I would imagine Flanagan and Keller have done as well). Which would mean that if BC is wrong (and, again, I'm sure they know the rules a lot better than I do) and they apply for a redshirt and don't get it, she won't even be able to come back and finish the season as a consolation prize because she's not even a student.
Originally posted by TonyTheTiger20 View PostI feel like I had to deal with Poulin for like 30 years of my life because she did that at BU, and we'll have that with Potomak The Younger too, but neither of them actually started their first year.
robertearle, Back in 2002, both Julie Chu and Krissy Wendell were in Pankowski's position, and in the case of Wendell, she'd also been centralized the season before (Team USA had a two-year centralization so that they could form a power team and win every game -- except the only one that really mattered.) Chu did her second Olympics before returning to deny Sara Bauer her second Kaz' (unfairly IMO), while Wendell already had her AARP card, so she got married instead of playing a 4th NCAA season."...

Originally posted by ARM View PostThat almost sounds like Harvard where Pucci and Gedman had to withdraw from school to retain eligibility when they were injured. It was a school rule for Harvard; is it for BC as well?
