UMD has 10 draft picks, 3 of whom are grad students. And they will have played five games by the time they roll into Lynah next week. Cornell will be at a talent, age, and experience disadvantage. Hopefully we can win one of the two games.

The Ivy life is all about opportunities but when it comes to the sports they put many of their teams in a huge hole with the extra restrictions they put on them.

Starting later, less practice time, and then like fball, not letting them get some better kids to compete because they can't play for titles.

At the moment, by far the biggest disadvantage to the Ivies is not allowing grad students to play.

I don't think this is true. Certainly not for the hockey team during this era of COVID eligibility.

No point in admitting guys who are just going to flunk out.  We mostly* aren't the SEC yet.

* Never change, Dartmouth.

It's almost impossible to flunk out if you put in a modicum of effort. Especially on an athletics team, where teammates take the same classes and study/do problem sets together.

I think the coaches would rather have practice time then worry about a few kids who might get an extra back with injuries and stuff
