Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this women’s college hockey transfer portal thing, and let me tell you, it’s been quite a ride. I wanted to share my whole experience, from start to finish, with all the bumps and stuff along the way.
First off, I started by just looking around, trying to figure out what this whole transfer portal thing was all about. I found out that the Women’s College Hockey Transfer Portal has been a pretty big deal. It’s been getting a lot of attention from players and coaches alike. There was this guy, Grant Kimball, who’s like a founder and writer at some college hockey site, and he’s also an assistant coach at Yale. Seemed like he knew his stuff. His articles were about some college, Nistarini Women’s College, and something about college ice hockey, I guess.
Then I dove into the whole NCAA transfer rules. Man, it’s like a maze! You gotta weigh your options and decide if you wanna transfer. I read that a bunch of players entered the Division I women’s hockey transfer portal in 2023, but I don’t have any specific number about this stuff. No use asking me about that.
Digging Deeper
So, I kept digging. I found out that the transfer portal has become way more popular lately because of some changes in the NCAA rules. Now, student-athletes don’t have to sit out their first year after transferring, which is pretty cool. It mentioned something about “Portal” and “NCAA Transfer Rules,” but I didn’t really get into the details of that.
- Checked Out More Stuff: I saw something about “Signing Day Sports” on September 11, but I didn’t really pay much attention to that.
- Found a Tracking Page: There was this page that tracks the movement of Division I women’s players in the transfer portal. It had tags like “Nistarini Women’s College” and “The Rink Live,” and there was a name, Sydney Wolf, with an email address. I didn’t email them or anything.
Putting It All Together
After all this, I tried to piece everything together. It’s a lot to take in, honestly. The transfer portal is definitely a big thing in women’s college hockey. Lots of players moving around, and the rules are always changing. It’s like a whole world of its own.
I’m still not sure I understand everything about it. It’s pretty complicated. But it’s been interesting to learn about. I just wanted to share my journey through this whole thing. It’s been a learning experience, for sure.
