[stompinstoms]

Hey all,

"Here is a list of players that played college hockey for four years"

 

[Aceonfire*]

Acrobello graduated from Yale with a degree in Political science.

The guy is smart.

In advertising-rich slideshow format, too!

 

[Wayne Primeau]

‘Biega Brothers’ sounds like a terrible name for a movie.

 

[leafsfan5]

I thought this was going to be about hockey iq, oh well

 

[EvilElf63]

This guy is bragging about Parros' 1250 SAT score? They know that's 1250/1600 right?

 

[NotYou]

So simply graduating from an Ivy makes a person smart now? Getting in is the bigger challenge, which these guys bypassed by being hockey players.

Relative to the rest of the NHL population, it's good.

 

[SteenMachine]

Haha good luck with that Sociology degree Powe.

More like "The 15 smartest North Americans in the NHL"..

Based on their alma mater and nothing they've said or done in their personal life.

Although if the idea of the Vega brothers getting a movie turned out, that would have been amazing

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

Mills was suspended for PEDs...doesnt seem smart

 

[BondraTime]

"Graduated with a satisfactory GPA"....

This is just a list of guys who graduated from an Ivy League School

 

[blinds]

So this is basically who has bachelor degrees from good colleges, colleges that they got into on the basis of their hockey talent and not their intelligence. A lot of useless degrees too. History? Sociology? Most useless article I've looked at in awhile.

 

[McBaevid]

A bunch of guys that probably got into those ivy league schools because of hockey rather than their smarts. Really? "satisfactory GPA", degrees in Poli Sci, Sociology, History, and HOTEL MANAGEMENT?!

Horcoff, Volpatti, and Greening are all impressive though

 

[Ned Bouhalassa]

Economics, mostly. No wonder!

"simply graduating from an ivy league school"... oh please.

For one it is by far simple to graduate from an ivy league school, even athletes have to try in college. I know because I am a college athlete. For two, history and especially sociology have their places. I cant believe sociology is getting knocked on here.. My most profound professor taught soc and had a huge impact on my life and how I view the environment around me, quit acting like a degree in in is soc or any degree for that matter is so attainable that a rock can get it.

Having a huge impact on your life is not an argument for the degree of difficulty to obtain said degree.

 

[CanadianSuperPromise]

Fedun has a mechanical engineering degree from Princeton.

 

[PWB]

Here's a low bar. Did you know that a penguin is the intellectual equivalent of a pigeon?

 

[Jumptheshark]

completly ignores how the euros do things--example of bias in the NA even from the bloggers

 

[Semantics]

Does anyone other than Fedun have a degree with an actually difficult major, like one of the STEM fields?

Greening's GPA is impressive. Anyone else that high? What about peer-reviewed publications, anyone have one?

Political Science, Sociology and History are difficult programs to go through. I always found them more of a challenge than biology.
