After seeing the request here for U.S. College Hockey Online to add some
women's coverage, I added to the links page a list of links to some women's
information. Included there are links to Andria's college hockey info and
Richard Hungerford's files in the HOCKEY-L archives such as the 1996-97
women's composite schedule and standings. Richard has done a terrific job
on these files.
The page also includes a link to Richard's women's hockey info file, which
contains addresses (US mail) for many of the college programs in the US.
To get to the links on USCHO, go to:
http://www.uscollegehockey.com/
and click on "Links". Then look for the women's links section.
USCHO has a limited staff, so to start out, we have chosen to concentrate
on men's DivI hockey. We hope that as the project gains momentum, we will
be able to add personnel and thus add coverage of topics like women's
hockey and men's DivII-III hockey. But to start, we will not be able to
give it the coverage it deserves - men's DivI already takes up all of our
time. Yet, we decided to make some of the women's links available from the
links page so people who visit the site and are interested in women's
hockey will have a place to go - a place where some other people are
providing better coverage than we can right now. Hopefully people will
understand. But it cannot hurt to send your request for USCHO to cover
women's college hockey to:
email@hidden
I do not read that mail, but another staff member does, and all suggestions
are important. If you are a follower of men's college hockey too, we hope
you will find USCHO interesting. And as I said, hopefully USCHO will enjoy
some success and enable us to expand our coverage into areas that deserve
it. Women's college hockey is definitely near the top of our wish list.

My daughter (Anais) and I are currently in the college search
also. Being in California, we are out of the mainstream and are
learning what is available. Ana wants to play hockey in college,
but also what she studies is also important. It is a big job to
sort through all the options and at first we didn't know where to
begin.
I stumbled on the women-in-hockey pages last year and found them
a great beginning, until that time I had little idea what
colleges were available. Thanks to these pages I now have names
and address of all the colleges and coaches.
Luckily two years ago my daughter attended the Elite hockey camp
at Dartmouth and returned again this last summer. The exposure
at camp was very helpful.
Coach Crowe would evaluate your playing during the camp if
requested and suggest the level of college play that you would be
most likely to succeed in. Ana also attended Rinksports camp and
Coach Kay from UNH did a similar evaluation for the players.
Unfortunately, if you will be going into college next year, this
is not an option.
These evaluations were a good guideline then to direct us to
certain colleges. Since Ana plays primarily on boys' teams it is
hard to know or judge her playing ability to other girls and to
have an unbias evaluation helped us narrow the field. We are now
concentrating our search to schools in the ECAC Alliance and
evaluating the curriculums of those schools.
We have written to each of the schools and coaches to obtain more
information on the programs and are planning a trip to visit a
few of the top prospects. All the coaches and schools have been
very helpful. They have suggested that Ana come and spend a day
or overnight, if possible, to see the college and meet the team
and get feel for the school.
It is one thing to want to play hockey in college, but remember
the primary reason you are going to college is to get an
education. My best advice is to sit down and determine all the
factors that should make up your decision; major area of study,
tuition, finanical aid, location, type of school (urban or rural,
large or small), and their hockey team. The internet has been a
fantastic resource, every college we are evaluating has extensive
web pages on every aspect of the school including admission
forms, use it!
Good luck in your selection and I hope my message is helpful to
others in the hunt.
