 GET READY MOTHER FUCKERS BECAUSE THE WORST HOCKEY IN NORTH AMERICA AND ALSO HAMLINE IS BACK What happened last year? Nothing! Hockey died. Hockey is back but it will probably die again! IMPORTANT NEWS!  THE CCHA IS FUCKIN BACK Bemidji, BGSU, Ferris State, LSSU, Fightin' Nerds, Minnesota State, and Northern Michigan all decided they're done with travelling to Alaska and Alabama, and it's hard to blame them. This will be the final year for the oddball WCHA as far as men's hockey goes. They'll be joined by St. Thomas, who jumps all the way from D-III to D-1 hockey. CHN posted:The Tommies, a longtime member of Division III Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference — and an old conference rival of Minnesota-Duluth — will move up to Division I and join the CCHA in men’s hockey, while playing in the WCHA for women’s hockey, the Pioneer League for football and the Summit League in every other sport. What does that mean for the Alaskas and Alabama-Huntsville? Bad news. Alaska-Anchorage could not overcome budget issues, and announced this will be their final season of operations. Alabama-Huntsville announced in May they'd be ceasing operations entirely as of that point, then got a frankly incredible stay of execution at the last minute. CHN posted:With rumors of financial issues for university athletics across the country, the first casualty in college hockey proved to be the Chargers — for a bit. The administration at Alabama-Huntsville announced May 22 that the school would fold its hockey program, along with the men’s and women’s tennis teams. However, due to alumni and fan donations totaling more than $750,000, the school announced one week later that the hockey team would return for the upcoming season. It's entirely possible UAH doesn't survive the season either, they need a new conference to join and for the Alabama Board of Regents to agree to continue funding the program. As far as SPACEBEAR goes, they had an outbreak of The Rona around the school, and have ceased any games until December 1st. I'd be honestly shocked if their program is still operating next year, but hell it's seemed like they'd fold for the better part of a decade now so what the crap do I know? hamline RIT has cancelled their hockey season and The Ivy League have cancelled all winter sports in light of the pandemic  to RIT but Nobody Cares About Atlantic Hockey until the scheduled knockout of St. Cloud in round 1 by whoever wins their tournament. This obviously puts the ECAC in a pretty big mess, and it's possible they cancel their season.quote:There are six non-Ivy teams in the ECAC — Clarkson, St. Lawrence, Colgate, Quinnipiac, RPI and Union. The first four appear to be all systems go; Clarkson put out a schedule today. Union has a game scheduled, against Long Island, but that is all so far. RPI, which was among the first to shut down last March, has not even been practicing. And yesterday it was reported that RPI star goaltender Owen Savory was in the transfer portal, suggesting, perhaps, his anticipation there would not be a season. Arizona State has a 'scheduling agreement' with the B1G e n i l m a h Officially, ASU doesn't have a conference yet, but they do have a new arena they'll move into as of 2022, and have agreed with the B1G (no I don't care that it's called 'the big ten') to play a bunch of road games against them. No B1G team will travel to Arizona State this season. CHN has an interview with their head coach about how it all came together. For the curious, the NCHC seemed very sympathetic to their situation but didn't want to add them for the year because they already have 8 teams, while the B1G has 7. NCHC has been quiet but seems to be moving ahead as planned HAMLINE There wasn't a lot of mention of the NCHC cancelling anything, and a "no news is good news" approach is probably the best way to look at it for now. Anyway go hockey, BG beat Adrian over the weekend  plan the fuckin virtual paradego pipers, bithc DJExile fucked around with this message at 15:41 on Nov 16, 2020 |

Every year I tell myself I want to follow it better, and every year I give up because I can't find a good place for scores or recaps. Even the NCAA site itself is a little poo poo for tracking game results USCHO and College Hockey News are both pretty good.

Bama-Huntsville has a plan to split costs between the school and alumni for the next 10 years, along with a better deal from the Von Braun Center, but that alone is very likely not going to be enough. They're pushing hard to get an on-campus arena (the Von Braun center is about 3 miles away), but that will cost $50-$60 million, and they still don't have much interest from other conferences. Atlantic Hockey is likely adding Navy as their 12th, or LIU, and there aren't a lot of other conferences that would make sense to add them. E: Interesting tidbit here as well: quote:It's also possible — again, a big if — that Minnesota State leaves the CCHA for the NCHC at some point, especially if it goes in a package with Arizona State. That could leave a spot in the CCHA, though there's already rumblings that Lindenwood, based near St. Louis and with an existing women's program, will finally add a D-I men's team. First I've heard of that. DJExile fucked around with this message at 14:19 on Nov 22, 2020 |

So hey we're through the new year and let's see where poo poo's at. gently caress to the jim delany It's Minnesota by a loving landslide right now. They're 10-0 and the only team close is barely-over-.500 Wisconsin. Penn State still holding strong to their desire to not care about defense or goaltending. ECAC Only 4 teams are playing: Clarkson, St. Lawrence, Colgate, and Q'Pac. St. Lawrence has only played 2 games. Hockey East So hi there, UMass! They're sitting at 8-3 and for now that's good enough to top the league. BC is behind them at 5-1. BU is the only team to opt out of the season. NCHC By all accounts the early season pod was a massive success for the conference. Everyone's got at least 10 games in. Cloud, NoDak, and Minn-Duluth are jammed up at the top. They've got a long way to go but hey, Miami isn't on the league floor! WCHA In typical fashion, Minn-State, BG, and the Fightin' Nerds are all clustered at the top of the league. BG is an absurd 11-1 overall right now although that includes a couple games against D-3 Adrian. Both Alaskas are out. Bama-Huntsville is a brutal 0-5-1 and on life support as a program. Independents Arizona State is going to be doing a TON of travelling, I think they're scheduled to play entirely road games this year, and are currently 4-8-2. They lead the country in games played, which is not a stat I'd ever think I'd cite but I suppose that's something of its own victory this year. Newcomer Long Island University is 2-3-0, with wins over Holy Cross and RIT. Atlantic Hockey Bobby Mo is leading. Here is a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSKQ3ZNQ_O8

Hell, even the Ohio States and Texases of the world are probably running skeleton crews for anyone not connected to football.

Schedule and TV info for the tournament. Michigan/Minn-Duluth seems like the only really intriguing matchup in the first round. ND/BC could be fun too. BU only got 15 games in this year so I have no real idea what to make of them.

Jhet posted:They won the WCHA tourney it looks like, but the WCHA isn't what it used to be. It'll be interesting to see how they do against one of the bigger programs. The current iteration of the WCHA has basically been Minnesota State just heads and tails above everyone else. BG, Fightin' Nerds and maybe Bemidji are usually the battle for 2nd place. Don't get me wrong, LSSU upsetting UMass would take a hell of an effort, and even if they pulled that off, they're not getting by Wisconsin, who by all rights should curb stomp Bemidji, but if ever there was going to be Weird poo poo in the tournament, this would be the year. E: NoDak vs. either Duluth or Michigan should be a fabulous quarterfinal game.
