Wow! '"inherently evil"? He said that?
Here is how I see it. UND had a Women’s Ice Hockey program. UND recruited players and commitments were made, both ways. For a variety of reasons, the WIH program was dropped. It wasn’t the players fault. It wasn’t Schlossman’s fault.
The WIH players were dedicated and passionate athletes in their time at UND. No different than a football, basketball or MIH player on a UND roster. Having the program cut in the way they did, was of course a rough experience for these UND athletes. It left these college athletes in a state of limbo. Most eventually caught on with other WIH college programs. Some, including alumni, were outspoken about the elimination of the program. I would expect that passion from athletes. Some of that was reported on. I would also expect that.
A former player who caught on with another program and wins a national title as the MVP is news, whether you like it or not. Mentioning the UND WIH program that existed only 2 years ago is also a fact. Demonizing the GF Herald writer for mentioning these things is beyond childishly silly in my opinion. He is reporting facts. You can pretend UND never had a Women’s Ice Hockey program, but I prefer to remember those young ladies who proudly and passionately represented UND Athletics in their time here. They proudly wore the name and colors of the University of North Dakota. Mentioning that is fact. Getting all bent out of shape for the GF Herald sports writer writing about the post-UND careers of gals who wore UND Green is just sad. Come on Sioux-Hawk fans, you should be better than this.
