[NU Sports] old subject revisted

Our hockey team had its best year ever losing in the championship game vs. McKendree in MACHA Silver.

They play at Highland Park and they had a much better schedule as many of the games were at reasonable time vs. the normal near-midnight puck drops.  We went to 5-6 games, but did not make it to the playoffs as they were in a St. Louis suburb.  Next year looks to be pretty good as our best players are returning as undergrads or graduating and headed to NU graduate school where they can also play.

If you have any questions about hockey contact us or the website as it would be nice to have more fans at the games.  Mostly the fans are parents or girlfriends of the players.

Btw somebody asked the question about varsity hockey at a basketball event of Bienen and he pooh-pooh-ed it mostly by cost.  Without an on-campus rink and the fact that not only is Robert Crown in Evanston a dump, but our team got kicked out a decade ago due to alcohol does not lend itself to varsity hockey.

Given  that NU has a baseball alumnus who is the current manager of the New 
York  Yankees and has had numerous other major and minor league players 
over the  last 20 years, elimination of the baseball program appears to be an  
overreaction to any recent struggles.

Looking at the  baseball team's dismal record to date, which isn't much 
different from prior  years, why not drop baseball as a varsity sport and start 
up a men's lacrosse  program. If you want to start slowly start it up as a 
club sport. A friend of  mine who has been involved with lacrosse for years 
tells me that Michigan is  about to start up lacrosse a a varsity sport 
after having had a club program.  This same person played for Michigan State 
which later dropped it for title IX  reasons. His opinion is that Northwestern 
would likely do well and could feed  off of the success of the women's 
program.
