And screw Kato AND Tech, I want Bemidji in the NCHC!

That's 'cause they're my second fave team though, no competitive/SoS reasons haha
Different strokes I guess. I think the conference needs a couple of dogs, actually. The conferences that are usually deemed the best are those that send the most teams to the NCAAs. When the WCHA was regularly sending 5-6 teams a year, it did so in large part because Tech and Anchorage were perennial bottom feeders. Hockey East sent 5 of 11 teams last year due to UMass and Merrimack and Maine and BU playing pretty weak. It's tough to send a boatload of teams to the tourney if everyone's splitting every weekend.mdneilson wrote:Interesting insights aries. I think you're right about the competition ASU wants to play, but they may regret biting off more than they can chew. I wouldn't mind ASU and AF moving in, but they would be the UAAs of the NCHC. I haven't heard grubles out of ND country, but I'm not that connected. It would be interesting if those movements happened. Though, I would be sad to lose Miami. If both happened, so we lost MIA and WM and adopted ASU and AF, it would practically make us the Western conference, lol.
