[Weder]

This season's team award winners.

Gagliardi and Campbell will be the co-captains next season.

Why in the the tag line for the Hockey Forum do we still put "and women's" in parentheses?  Women's hockey should no longer appear to be an afterthought.  How about just Discussions about Cornell hockey?

Why in the the tag line for the Hockey Forum do we still put "and women's" in parentheses?

Obviously because most of us are still primarily (or solely) interested in men's hockey.

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

Compromise:  put "men's and women's" in parens.  I.e. Discussions about Cornell (Men's and Women's) Hockey.

That way the women aren't as much of an afterthought and for newbies (or troglodytes  ::whistle: it still makes it clear that the discussion includes both teams, not just the men.

[Trotsky]

LOL.  Why change a culture when you can just change a label?   ::wank::

And without the label women's hockey posts would liely end up in "Other Sports" as a result.

The use of the word "still" (not to mention "troglodyte") rankles though. There are demonstrable differences between the men's and women's game and it's perfectly reasonable for fans to prefer one to the other. It's not a question of prejudice.

Actually it's because there were briefly separate fora and it's just a reminder that both are here now. But if your panties are a-bunching I'll change it.

I wasn't saying it was a question of prejudice for everyone who's not interested in women's hockey.  Someone who isn't interested in women's hockey may simply not be interested in women's hockey.  No more no less.  It's just like someone who isn't really interested in basketball.

But there may still be some people who would think that women's hockey isn't deserving of the respect of those who do enjoy it.  Those people are the troglodytes.

Fair enough.  I was feeling grumpy this morning.

There's a Snow White joke in there somewhere.  ::banana::

And... scene.

Very nice.

Why wank away? Changing the label is a positive step in changing the culture. And I have no real non-alumni-pride interest in women's hockey.

[Trotsky]

Why wank away?

Heck, why NOT?!
