Why aren't there more women's college hockey programs?

Monique Lamoureux-Morando knows there will be a day when she and her son will walk around the Ralph Engelstad Arena concourse at the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks.

Her son will see the display honoring his mom and aunt, Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson, as the school's two greatest women's hockey players, not to mention two of the greatest athletes -- regardless of sport -- to play at UND.

They will then have what Lamoureux-Morando knows will be a difficult conversation.

"Someday, my son is going to ask why women don't play here anymore and I have to explain that," Lamoureux-Morando said.
