BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!
At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

Re: Announced: UConn to Hockey East
So U-Conn will be to Atlantic Hockey what Denver and UND were to the WCHA...
Let the Atlantic Hockey circus begin... The line has been drawn and you're either with AIC or you're against them, but I still would like a jersey either way.

Re: Announced: UConn to Hockey East
I'm torn on this.
On the one hand, UConn is a joke of a program and doesn't deserve this.
On the other hand, whereas most College Sports Conferences are throwing geography out the window, Hockey East (outside of Notre Dame) isn't. Someone on the nWCHA thread made a joke about "tucking in eastern players and giving them a teddy bear on long, two hour bus rides," but I really like that and think it's the way it should be. The more I look at it, the more I wish that Hockey East was an all-sports conference. Of course, that would require almost half the league add football, but still.
In summary-short term sucks...long term has potential to be good.#NewMass

Re: Announced: UConn to Hockey East
It creates an open slot in Atlantic Hockey that could be filled by Alabama-Huntsville.
Also: This pretty much dashes Harvard's hopes of joining HE.Last edited by Nazbob RPI fan; 06-22-2012, 08:14 AM.

Re: Announced: UConn to Hockey East
I think the timing is appropriate. UConn will have a couple of years in the AHA adding scholarships and getting up to speed before they transition to HE rather than going a year earlier. I would hope to see some substantial progress up the AHA standings over the next two years that reflects the new resources being applied. If not, I will start to get worried.
Someone mentioned the easily stimulated animosity between BC and UConn fans. In hockey, that is just not the case. I know of no UConn hockey fan who does not hold BC in awe in men's hockey. For me personally, Jerry York was a highly successful coach at Clarkson before he ended up at BC. Nothing but respect from us Golden Knights.
That said ... football and basketball are a different story.

And the schedule does not look too bad. Starting to get a bit more challenging.

Re: Announced: UConn to Hockey East
Still can't believe a conference as good as Hockey East would take a bottom of the barrel program like UConn with so many better options available. UVM was a legitimate program prior to going there and they are a bottom feeder now. Complete headscratcher.Brown Bears - 2014 National Champions
