I received a lot of positive feedback on my post last Week – which was great to hear. ‘The Adjustment Phase’ as I call it, happens to most players at every level. As you move up the competitive hockey ladder, the game harder. But it doesn’t have to be all bad news just because you struggle a bit. With struggle comes growth – as long as you have the right mindset and a plan to face the adjustments needed. Enjoy!

Wednesday – Post #130 – Welcome To The Adjustment Phase

Adjusting To A New Age Group Or Level of Play Takes Time. It’s Suppose To Be Hard – Embrace It!

  • Moving Up An Age Group Or Competitive Level?
  • Not Playing As Well As You Thought To Start The Year?
  • Three Ideas To Help You Cope 1) Mindset 2) Adjustments/Improvements 3) Realistic Expectations & Goals

Until Next Time Everyone… Be Well and take Care,

Friday’s Sifters

Gustavus Women’s Hockey Tragedy

I’d like to start today’s post by offering my deepest condolences to the families, friends, teammates, coaches, and the greater women’s hockey community affected by the tragic passing of Gustavus Adolphus women’s hockey player Jori Jones. Jones and three of her teammates were involved in a two-car accident last Sunday in western Minnesota. Jones succumbed to her injuries caused in the crash while 3 of her teammates suffered non-life threatening injuries. Jones was coming off a freshman season winning the Division III National Championship.


This week has been the calm before the storm.

We are just a few days away from September and the 23-24 college hockey season about to begin. First-year student orientations are in full swing. Freshman are moving in and returning students are just days if not hours from getting settled back on campus.

NCAA coaches are in ‘Full Go Mode’ as they juggle everything that occurs at the beginning of the year. Players return to campus, recruiting activity ramps up, those beginning of the school year meetings etc., and for D-I coaches – the planning of on-ice practices as soon as classes begin. It’ a busy but exciting time.

Here is what’s happening in today’s Sifters edition.

-Coaching moves news to announce.

-D-III Changes to Playing Season & National Championship.

-UNH Receives Alumni Support for New

-IIHF Women’s Division 1A World Championships Conclude.

-In-Season D-I Tournaments Announced

Let’ get to it!

Staff news to announce at… Chatham Univ., Dartmouth, Harvard, Holy Cross, Univ. of New England,, RPI, Saint Anselm College, and St. Lawrence,

Here’s what I have this week.

Chatham University… is seeking applicants for its position of volunteer goalie coach.

Dartmouth… Has announced its searching for a full-time Assistant Coach.

Harvard… Has recently posted for a Full-Time Assistant Coach position. Joe Grossman is no longer listed on the Crimson website.

Holy Cross… Is seeking applicants for a Full-Time Assistant Coach. Associate Head Coach Meredith Roth is no longer listed on the website.

University of New England… Has announced Cassandra Sherman as its next Head Coach. Sherman played at Southern Maine and was an Assistant Coach there from 2017-2021.

RPI… Has announced the hiring of former Bently Men’s Assistant Coach Ben Murphy as its new Assistant Coach.

Saint Anselm College… Has announced its searching for a Full-Time Assistant Coach. Vinnie Ferrainola is no longer listed on the website.

St. Lawrence… Has announced the hiring of their 3rd Assistant Coach Brittney Gout ’21 M’23. Gout played three seasons for the Saints graduating after the 21-22 season. She spent last season as the Saints’ Graduate Assistant Coach while getting her Masters of Arts Degree in Leadership.

Angela Ruggiero… The New York Rangers have hired the former 4 x US Olympic medalist and Harvard defender as a Hockey Operations Advisor.

Some big changes are coming to D-III this year.

The hockey season calendar is changing from a number of weeks in the season to a number of days model. Here is what teams can expect:

  • Hockey has 114 total days to use.
  • From the beginning of classes to the first Monday in October they may use up to 8 of the 114 days [they don’t have to but they can.]:
    • Those days can be on or off-ice
    • During this period they can’t use more than three days in a week
    • They can’t compete
  • From the first Monday in October to the second Monday in October:
    • They can only go “off-ice’
    • The days count against the 114 total
    • They have to have a day off
    • They don’t have to practice at all during that week
  • From the second Monday in October to NCAA championship selection:
    • They have to have 5 on-ice days before they can compete
    • They have to have a day off per week
  • From Champs selection to five weekdays before final exams for the academic year (provided they weren’t chosen for NCAA championships or some other post-season tournament):
    • They can only practice if they have not used 114 total days and they did not use 8 days before the first Monday in October (if they used 5 days before the season then they can use 3 days after the season provide they haven’t used 114 days)

Additionally the NCAA Championships Committee approved a ‘predetermined site pilot’ program for the National Championships over a 4-year period. The 2025 and 2027 Championship finals will be held at a predetermined site. The 2024 and 2026 finals will be held at the site of the highest seed eligible to host.

The Women’s and Men’s hockey programs at the University of New Hampshire recently received a $4 million dollar gift from Anthony DiLorenzo ’87, owner of Key Auto Group. The gift is part of an overall campaign to support upgrades to the Whittemore Center.

The USCHO.com release stated… “The upgraded arena will feature larger, more functional and accessible multi-use locker rooms for both men’s and women’s hockey, an expanded strength and conditioning space, and new offices for coaches and administrative staff. The upgrade will also benefit other UNH teams using the facility including UNH Field Hockey and Paralympic athletes that compete in sled hockey on UNH’s Northeast Passage team.”

You can read the full release HERE.

China went 5-0 to claim the gold medal during the IIHF Division I Group A World Championship this passed week in Shenzhen, China. Denmark took Silver and Austria took home the Bronze.

China and Denmark have been promoted to the top level division and will travel to Utica, New York in April to compete in the Women’s World Championships. They will be in group B along with Sweden, Japan, and Germany.
