The big thing for me is that I feel as if I, all of you, Coach Pearl, and the athletes have been misled. How can we be told that the school is willing to commit the resources to upgrade the hockey program, but then find out the ECAC is going to give us the shaft b/c we won't properly fund: A) the women's team, (the Cross will never live this one down), B) adequate facilities (never surprising but fixable for a school with a $400+ million endowment, or C) both A and B.

How de we financially support a school that apparently makes such, penny-wise pound-foolish decisions, as another poster put it. Answer: We stop giving until they learn. Young alumni support has hit its highpoint and is now declingin, and this is only going to hurt HC more.

Like I said a while back, "throw in the friggin kitchen sink" if you have to. They didn't and now HC takes a huge hit, which now has negative gender undertones. Nothing like taking the high road and the low road at the same time.

Cheers.

" Women's ice hockey is going to be another challenge over the next few years. We've essentially been playing a Division III schedule for the first three years of the program's existence and we've done pretty well. Having said that, the typical divisional distinctions don't mean quite as much in ice hockey as they do in other sports. Within the next two or three years we will need to slowly migrate to a Division I schedule and that will be a challenge. "....Dick Regan - 2002
