Holy hat trick talk about crossing the "blue" line. Is that the new thing they want little girls to aspire to?  

As if we haven't had enough of them already. Pathetic. I'm sure their parents are very proud of them.

Wow.  The WCHA is actually resorting to crowd funding to keep the women's game alive.

You all act like no other athlete has ever posed nude before. Get over yourself. If you dislike the Lamoureux twins so much, stop talking about them.

I think their goal of posing nude was getting people to talk about them.

Kennedy saying he needed $60 million to save/bring back the women's team was fairly accurate.

Quote

The league is hoping to raise $50,000 toward its operations fund; $25,000 to help with costs for the Final Face-Off tournament; $25,000 to hold an awards banquet; $7,500 to reinstate its postgraduate scholarship; and $6,000 to fund the weekly and monthly awards. The league is also hoping to purchase new regular season and postseason championship trophies, with a goal of $5,000 for each.

 That shouldn't cost anything.

Quote

Currently the Bulldogs and St. Cloud State are the only two schools capable of broadcasting regular season games for FSN, which takes feeds from Amsoil Arena and SCSU’s Herb Brooks National Hockey Center. Million said the league is hoping to expand those capabilities to other WCHA women’s rinks in the future.

You'd think Minnesota and Wisconsin should have the abilities to broadcast games.

They have raised $700 so far.

[Siouxperfan7]

Unfortunately UND dropping the program may be the beginning of the end for Womens College Hockey.  The expenses far exceed the revenue it produces.

I'm looking forward to Mr. Schlossman's take on this.

I suppose the silver lining is that if someone wants a postseason trophy named after them and has $5,000 to spare, there's never been a better opportunity.

I look forward to the body issue every year. It's a celebration of the human form at its highest level. Nothing more, nothing less.

If you do that, I'll sponsor and hand out Abe Vigoda bobbleheads for the all tournament team.

How about "The University of North Dakota Women's WCHA Tournament Championship Trophy"

I agree ...you think they'd be able to realize that in times of tight budgets, some things need to go such as the $25K banquet and weekly awards

Thanks, but no thanks.  Feel free to celebrate in private (no pun intended).

The photos of Finland's and Germany's women's Olympic hockey teams?  

I'd be cool with pics of Tanja Eisenschmid throughout the entire Ralph.

They now have raised $1,835 out of $50,000 goal and increased the days from 40 to 236 and raised $25 for the postgrad scholarship.
