Agree....Cormier had a highlight reel goal last week running over a PSU short stick and had some similar plays using his physical play overwhelming some of the best short sticks in the world from USA & Canada this weekend. This Spring, it might be best for opposing D1 teams not to match him with their 5 9” speed guy. Although eventually worn down, Virginia played pretty much everyone a lot and held their own against both teams. They were leading Canada in their 2nd scrimmage till late in the 3rd.
Yes, I've heard it mentioned in news stories or those sports documentary-style programs. I believe it was described as a policy led by the seniors on the team. So it's more like a team self-imposed rule, not any official prohibition with official enforcement. I assume the team would enforce itself. No idea if it is prevalent or not.molo wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2019 8:55 pm On another message board, someone suggested that part of the change of culture at UVA involved not drinking during the season. That would constitute more than just a change of team culture. Has anyone else heard anything along those lines? I would find such a prohibition difficult, if not impossible, to enforce in high school let alone in college in a sport that has historically been relatively tolerant about drinking. Is even the consideration of such measures prevalent in today's climate?

I believe you are correct. Pure rumor alert! - It is my understanding that is what made the Brattons leave the team.bearlaxfan wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2019 9:01 pmGatsby wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2019 12:14 pmYes, I've heard it mentioned in news stories or those sports documentary-style programs.

Isn't this what the 2011 champions did? Led by seniors/team leaders.
Yes. In 2011 and since Lars arrived, the team has made a commitment to winning by making some in-season sacrifices and it worked.
