Episode 133: Alex Gettens, Head Coach of University of Maine Women's Ice Hockey
Q: How do you view the five-for-five model and its impact on recruiting?
The five-year eligibility provides stability and flexibility; it's about managing expectations, keeping an eye on long-term development, and ensuring the roster plans align with program needs and graduate opportunities.
Episode 133: Alex Gettens, Head Coach of University of Maine Women's Ice Hockey
Q: What is your recruiting philosophy and what do you look for in players?
We look for dynamic players who can contribute at multiple positions, have high hockey IQ, and can elevate teammates; development should enhance their strengths without changing who they are, building trust between coach and player.
Episode 125: Abby Ostrom – Head Coach of the Suffolk Rams Women’s Ice Hockey Program
Q: Does hockey help get into Suffolk, and how do scholarships work academically?
Tuition is regular cost with merit-based scholarships repackaged recently; students can receive merit aid up to around $27,000 off the top based on high school performance, plus government FAFSA aid; athletic money isn't the primary factor at Suffolk, emphasizing academics and overall fit.
