You may be right, I guess it is the idea of recruiting kids to go to a school
to play a game. You don't hear much of major Uni's running to the far ends
of the earth to get some math/science/english stand-out to enroll. I debated
before I posted the note because I know the idea is simplistic & unrealistic.
I see NC$$ football and basketball as minor leauge feeder teams to the pros &
think that hockey is falling into the same boat (obviously I don't think that
is in the best interest of the sport, or the people playing it). I know that
many states could not support a DivI hockey program, I wish they would put the
effort into building youth hockey programs that would & not into beating the
bushes of Minn. or Moose Jaw or Mass. I KNOW that is unrealistic. This is
just as critical of Woog & the U of M as any other school. Sorry if my point
is muddled, maybe it is too much time here in hockey hell.
