I realize this is a touchy subject, and that plenty of fairly well-to-do
players still are paid to play college hockey, but I wonder why ...
scholarship should go to those who truly need them.  I know, sounds like
D-III ... and IMHO that is the proper way to go.  Of course it will never
happen.  No flames please!!
 
I am not faulting St. Lawrence for wanting to stay competitive, apparently
my old school RPI went this route years ago.  Just hate to see it as a
necessity for remaining competitive in D-I hockey, guess it is.
 
Just my 2 cents and a chance to get rid of some of my dander that came up.
