Tried to pull the goalie and the attacker jumped on too soon. Just not the Bucks' day.

Great season, just came up one game short. Wisconsin wins, 1-0.

I turned this off when Canada scored an empty-netter with over 2 minutes left to make it 3-1. Damn if the USA didn't tie it and force a shootout. It went 9 rounds.

Title IX: Women’s Hockey Buckeyes Finds Success on Olympic Stage

Ohio State Buckeyes
ohiostatebuckeyes.com ohiostatebuckeyes.com

Ohio State women’s hockey has been present on the Olympic stage since the sport made its Olympic debut in 1998. Since then, at least one Buckeye has been on an Olympic roster at every winter games.

In the first women’s hockey tournament of the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan, future Buckeye Emma Laaksonen (‘04) was a member of the Finnish team that defeated Sweden, 6-0, in the first women’s hockey Olympic game. Finland won bronze in the inaugural tournament. Laaksonen played for Ohio State from 2000-04 and went on to become just one of six players to play in a record five Olympic games.

The first Buckeye to win Olympic gold was Tessa Bonhomme (’08) at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. She and Team Canada won the country’s third consecutive Olympic gold, this time on home soil. That year, Lisa Chesson (’08) and the United States took silver and Laaksonen and Minttu Tuominen (’13) helped Finland to bronze. Chesson was the first Buckeye to play for Team USA on an Olympic roster.

At the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, a program-record six Buckeyes competed for their respective countries. Emma Maltais (’23) and Natalie Spooner (’12) helped Team Canada to its fifth Olympic gold medal while Jincy Dunne (’20) skated to a silver medal with Team USA. Tuominen added Ohio State’s fourth medal of the tournament, earning bronze with Finland. Andrea Braendli (’22) was the starting goaltender for Switzerland at the games while rising sophomore Sophie Lundin skated for Sweden.

In all, Ohio State women’s hockey players have earned a combined 13 Olympic medals, including four gold. A Buckeye has played in every gold-medal game since 2010 and has earned a medal in all but Olympic tournaments since 1998. In the seven Olympics featuring a women’s hockey tournament, 11 Buckeyes have played and represented five countries.

Not Buckeyes Women's Hockey, but women's hockey related. Not sure there's enough traffic to start a whole thread for NCAA Women's Hockey, so I'll post here...

  • Katey Stone, 57, stepped down as head coach June 7 after a 29-year tenure that was eventually dogged by accusations she'd emotionally damaged players
  • Multiple outlets have reported on a toxic on and off-ice culture, including allegations of hazing and naked skates at practice
  • Athletic Director Erin McDermott announced Wednesday in a statement that the school plans to revamp the culture after Stone's retirement
Harvard University has vowed to overhaul the culture of its women's hockey team after a long-time coach retired amid accusations of abusive behavior that one player compared to a 'mental health Hunger Games' in early June.

Katey Stone, 57, stepped down as head coach June 7 after a 29-year tenure that included four national championship appearances, but was eventually dogged by accusations she'd emotionally damaged players.

Multiple outlets have reported on a toxic on and off-ice culture for the program, including allegations that players felt forced to drink and perform 'sexually-charged role playing' as part of hazing rituals, according to the Boston Globe.

At practice, players were allegedly forced to do a 'Naked Skate' where players were told to dive on the ice in a Superman-pose while completely nude, often leaving skaters with ice burns and bloody nipples, The Athletic reported.

Athletic Director Erin McDermott announced Wednesday in a statement that the school plans to revamp the culture after Stone's retirement.

In a 2020 interview that was published on one of Harvard's official YouTube channels, Stone paid tribute to promoting a highly competitive atmosphere among her players. 'Coaching gives me the opportunity to stay competitive... [The players] have no idea what they're really capable of and if we continue to challenge them on a daily basis, the accomplish so much more.

"
We now have an opportunity to end team traditions that are harmful to team culture and inconsistent with our community norms,' she said.

McDermott did not address any specific allegations, though the school launched an independent inquiry by law firm Jenner & Block earlier this year after reports surfaced.

No findings of the report have been published yet, despite the New York firm saying it planned to finish by the end of April, according to the Harvard Crimson.

However, in her statement, McDermott said they found 'procedures and communications with student-athletes have led to confusion and frustration among members of our community, and there are areas where we must improve.'

The full report may never be publicized, according to a school spokesperson.

'Individuals who participated in the review were promised anonymity throughout the process,' Harvard said in a statement.

'Releasing detailed information or documents that were received and reviewed during this work could jeopardize the privacy of those who participated.'

New initiatives McDermott promised include annual reminders of how to report improper conduct, instructions on access to mental health services and a new leadership program.

'This program will support our collective focus on updating team traditions to align with our values and will help us move forward positively as a community,' McDermott said.

Players anonymously told reporters of having to put condoms on bananas, simulate orgasms and perform skits mocking their sexual orientation.

One former player said she reported the behavior to the administration but never heard back.

Stone - who coached the silver medal-winning USA women's hockey team at the 2014 Sochi Olympics - was never directly implicated but former players said she was aware of what was going on and didn't stop it.

In addition, the program's retention rate is one of the worst at Harvard. Only 20 percent of the freshman class stayed at the school last season, well below the rest of the athletic department's rate of 75 percent.
McDermott claimed that the current team 'has not fostered a culture of hazing' but the school can do better.

'However, it is clear that some traditions in recent years were experienced differently by different people and not all were comfortable with those activities or with expressing concerns relating to the program.'

Stone, who is the fourth-winningest coach in NCAA women's hockey history, has never addressed the allegations. The school is still searching for a replacement.

If getting athletic young women to dive and slide naked on ice is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.
