Some random questions for Hockey-L readers on a quiet Friday:
1) An Olympic follow-up: During the CBS broadcast of the gold
medal game between Canada and the Unified Team, some Canadian
players were profiled against a map of the U.S., showing cities
in Minnesota, and I believe, Massachusetts. Was that an
indication of their current residence?
2) Given that the western provinces of Canada have provided such
a wealth of talent in NC$$ college hockey, why haven't more
universities in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (excluding Alaska)
developed hockey programs of their own?
3) A cynical question that I haven't seen asked. Colleges are
very defensive these days about the number of basketball and
football athletes they actually graduate. Yet I've seen no such
moralizing for college hockey. What kind of graduation rate are
we talking about here? Yeah, I know there are exceptions, but
overall I have a sense that college hockey may be equally guilty
of being primarily a talent pool for the pros. Anybody have any
data on graduation rates for hockey players?
