Re: Atlantic Hockey Future
I suspect that you don't reflect the thinking of either Army or Air force since both left the CHA and joined the AHA where they have thrived. Of your group I suspect maybe Mercyhurst RMU and Niagara might favor a new full scholarship league.RIT, Army and Air Force all voluntarily joined the AHA, with 2 of the 3 moving from a full scholarship league. I'm less sure about the others. To say nothing of the fact that RMU and Niagara would likely be on the outside looking in without the AHA and RIT would be D-3 since nobody else was taking them. In a sense it is pretty funny that schools that had no other option, and it sin't as if the ECAC or anyone else was lining up to take those programs, are suddenly too good for the league that saved them. I find RMU and Niagara fan commnets particularly ironic in that the AHA/MAAC was there for both from the beginning. The one thing about the AHA is that it has survived and actually thrived as a league while others have struggled with membership. the problem with a new league would be many, and the question would be what would you gain? Not much I suspect.
