Benilde tuition does not cover room and board, so don't add that into the estimate of the cost of the U.
I would be pretty sure that the UofM tuition is less than Benildes $12,000.

I'm a little confused here. The tribune article makes it sound like the sophomore, after the second penalty, should have been suspended, but the coach broke the rules because "I can't have my best scorer on the bench". Then the rest of this discussion seems to imply that the coach did some...

Did any of you see your email from Mn Hockey today. The heading is "good sportsmanship is about character and conduct". Inside: Good sportsmanship includes "respect for ones opponent. Sometimes the reasons kids succumb to unsportsmanlike behavior due to pressure from parents." It...

I think this was classless and a bad decision by the coach. The kid has bad plenty of opportunities for home fans to see him. In close games, I'm sure the 1st and 2nd lines play a lot more than 3 and 4 never gets on the ice. In blow outs keep 1 and 2 off, especially in the third period or it will ap...

What about a system like what is down in English Professional soccer. At the end of each season the lowest ranking x number of teams are relegated down to the lower level, and the top x teams from the lower level are moved up. So we would end up with a true 2-tier system. Look at section 4a, if the ...

I'd like to hear comments on this: last night at a game the team with the puck parked their big guy in front of the net. The defenseman is bumping and pushing him (you see this every game), the d pushes a bit too hard from behind and the big guy falls down. Last year this would have cross checking o...

So 'the puck' says 'The game shouldn't be tampered and that's my opinion. ' I know you are on here a lot and that you seem to garner respect, but I have to say that is the dumbest comment I've heard all year. Games evolve, all games. As players evolve the games need to also. Everything evolves. Life...

Bandy - great comment. I agree completely. I watched a game played since the injury There was a check from behind, not at all brutal, no one got hurt, but it wasn't accidental. He was given a 2 and a 10. That's a long time to think about it in the box. I'm undecided whether he should have been throw...

gratuitous hits

MNhockeyFan – I know coaches and fans love to see them (hard hits). But I think they are intrinsically dangerous, and not integral to the game (scoring goals). I don’t think kid’s health should be endangered because ‘coaches and fans love them’. They are not roman gladiators (kill each other for our...

cutting down on injuries

I have a son who plays high school hockey, and I’m very good friends with a few high school and youth coaches. This is the way I see it. Whats the purpose of checking? I think the ‘real’ purpose of checking to knock a player off the puck. If that’s correct, then there is never any reason to ‘finish ...

WB6162. I like your ideas. I'd take that a bit further. Let's also force Cambridge to give up hockey since they lost to DE by 16-0. And Henry Sibley who lost to H-M 17-2. And Richfield who lost 13-0. Actually, Como is ranked 135 out of 156 teams, let's get rid of the bottom 20 teams. They suck and h...

Forum To you guys who say they shouldn't be playing varsity: You seem to lose track of something.  These are high school kids, student athletes, who play hockey because they love it.  That's a good thing isn't it? This school hardly has enough tryouts to form a team (no one is cut)  They aren't the ...

When the CDH football team gets up by 40 pts, the starters come out and never return. When the Hopkins basketball team gets up by 40, the starters will still be playing. My point is that some coaches handle the lopsided games with more grace than others. I would have liked to see the 3rd and 4th lin...

I'll question it for you.
Having your #3 scorer on the ice in the last 3 minutes of the, when you are up 16-0, is running up the score.

Lavalle got an assist with a few minutes to go in the game.
He's first line. Hill was playing it's top line while up 16-0.
