Too good for just the Alumni forum:

In case you missed it (and I know everyone did because who cares about the Blues or Avalanche), Olver hammers Tarasenko during last nights game.

I'm the host of Muskegon's "Wildcat Night Across the Country," and I'm seriously wondering what we're going to do next year. I've heard Bowling Green is a nice town to travel to, and maybe we can go to Big Rapids, but I'm thinking the days of gathering at a local bar and watching NMU on TV might be a thing of the past.

We'll see what the schedule holds next year...

I just saw BG posted their WCHA schedule and they are not hosting NMU...just a series in Marquette.

Interesting that they're playing the two other UP teams home and away, but not NMU. And only playing the closest team to them, Ferris, at Ferris.

Home and Away: UAA, Mankato, LSSU, UAH, MTU

Home: UAf, BSU

Away: FSU, NMU

EDIT: Here's the link should anyone be interested: BGSU WCHA Schedule

Before Alabama was accepted into the WCHA, the Lakers were not scheduled to play in Marquette. I wonder if that has changed with Alabama being accepted to the conference.

Onei must remember that this years schedule is a bit of a crapshoot. Schedules, including non-conference games were already completed. That left very little flexibility. As far as NMU getting UAF, UAH and UAA on the road, every team will do it in the schedule rotation.

Oh good. The at NMU series isn't the first weekend in March out of habit.

Hopefully other teams release their WCHA schedules soon like Bowling Green just did. I'm hoping NMU and LSSU will play four times next season.

They won't.

[NMUFAN]

They won't.

They won't release their schedule or they won't play four times?

Won't play four times next year. Once the regular schedule rotation begins, teams will play their travel partner 4x (UAA-UAF, Bemidji-MinnSt, NMU-Tech, LSSU-Ferris, BG-UAH) and two other pairs 4x. So NMU & LSSU will meet four times twice every four years.

So I'm guessing NMU/LSSU will be just in the Sault in 2013-14, then both in 2014-15, then just Marquette in 2015-16 and then both again in 2016-17.

That series should be a home and home. Every year.

Don't hold your breath for that to happen. It would only work if teams from two OTHER scheduling 'pairs' can do it the same way, or you'll end up with 13 games at home and 15 away (or visa-versa).

Those thing could happen in any order.
