A Title IX Legacy Beyond the United States: More Olympians For ... (The New York Times)

BURLINGTON, Vt. — Sini Karjalainen could have played ice hockey closer to home. She could have stayed in Finland, where she was born.

“The more we have schools, the more they’re going to need players,” said Mira Jalosuo, one of the early Finnish stars at Minnesota who is now an assistant coach at St. “If you’re just playing in Europe, you’re always a little timid to play against the U.S.A. “I had to get out of the country,” she said, the Olympic rings tattooed on an arm. “This is going to be the new pathway.” Then, in a game against Japan last February, she became the first Vermont women’s ice hockey player to score an Olympic goal. At least two dozen colleges have added women’s ice hockey teams in the last decade. “I would guess I would not make the Olympics without it.” “I did it right out of the gate, and the rest is history,” said Shannon Miller, who led Canada to a silver medal at the 1998 Nagano Games before she steered Minnesota Duluth to five N.C.A.A. “A lot of the coaches that I was coaching against really attacked me publicly and personally. Coaches in Europe said that players with American college experience often had comparable athletic skills to women who remained in Europe but that their strategic sense and mental toughness often seemed superior. “They’re here because of the opportunities on college teams that were made possible by Title IX, ranging from roster spots to scholarships and other benefits,” said Val Ackerman, the Big East Conference commissioner who formerly led the W.N.B.A. To some coaches building teams, often at low-profile schools with a shortage of skilled players, the global talent pool was where breakthroughs could happen.
