I've been meaning to mention this ever since I received my copy of The
College Hockey Guide a few weeks ago. The current discussion of Title
IX makes this relevant. According to the Guide there are currently a
grand total of ten (yes, 10) athletic scholarships being awarded for
Women's Ice Hockey. These are as follows: Northeastern 4, New
Hampshire 3, and Providence 3. This is in contrast to about 35 schools
that each give 18 scholarships as well as a few Div-II teams (e.g.,
Alabama-Huntsville), that give lesser amounts. (You know, there is a
lot of interesting data in the College Hockey Guide. Too bad it came
out so late.)
I found these numbers surprising as I would think that these schools, as
well as others, would need to also give about 18 women's scholarships.
BC and starting in the fall SLU are the only others that I can think of
that gives men's scholarships and have major women's teams.
Does anyone know if these women's figures are correct? I am curious, is
women's ice-hockey subject to the same limit of 18 as men's hockey? If
there is a lower limit as the above figures may indicate, how can the
schools hope to keep things in apparent balance?
