Women And Checking: An American Perspective
Keely Dunn has written an excellent post, echoing the views of what I presume to be many Canadians that women’s hockey should allow checking.  I wrote a very similar post a few years ago, making some of the same arguments about safety and sexis...[Read on]
The Best (And Worst) Weekend Of The Hockey Year
It’s the day all of the women’s hockey community have long awaited: NCAA playoff time.  However my happiness is not unalloyed.  Readers will know I don’t use screens on Saturdays, except when they coincide with the NCAA tournam...[Read on]
Hockey Insights Lost to Tabbed Browsing
The one day…THE ONE DAY I don’t save as I go along.  I worked for an hour on this post with my usual witty brilliance or brilliant wittiness and great insight, and it’s now in the ether.  Which DOESN’T EVEN EXIST.  ...[Read on]

NCAA Hockey Frozen Four: After A Wild Weekend, On To The Semis
BC versus Wisconsin- The major upside to the Frozen Four’s being played in Duluth is that we won’t have to listen to the BC announcer, as he gets more nervous, use the phrase “nothing doing” with increasing frequency until it&rsquo...[Read on]
Bracketology: the Women's Frozen Four
People.  I think we can all agree that if the field for the NCAA men’s basketball tournament goes up every year, to the extent that one day every Division I team in the country will get a berth, the women’s hockey tournament might be allo...[Read on]
2012 Kazmaier Talk, Pre-Conference Tournament Edition
Things one should not try to do at the same time: A. finish a dissertation, B. look for a job, and C. write a blog about an in-season sport.  We’re already at the last weekend of the regular season!  This means normally Kazmaier selection ...[Read on]
