  • Atlantic Hockey Expansion?

    Reading the article of the interview with the Atlantic Hockey league commissioner, he states that they are looking at expansion, with 4 teams in talks. I am curious if anyone has any idea or speculation on who those could be?

    Atlantic Hockey would be a great fit for Uconn after they lose their first 88 Hockey East games and everyone figures out it wasn't a good idea.

    The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.

        I heard the four were Huntsville, Bowling Green, Syracuse, and Iowa. Reliable source, close to the league.

          Syracuse is not getting a team any time soon. They had to take out a bunch of sports and add women's ice hockey just to get to Title IX status!

            I'll start a rumor. It's the 4 ECAC Liberty League teams who will be looking for a home when the Ivies leave.

              And you expect Colgate and Q-Pac to fold?

                    Iowa wouldn't be able to join. They are a Big Ten school. They can't play the sport that the Big Ten sponsors in a different conference.

                        If this were a serious thing, I'd put my money on UAH and maybe a handful of the D-II schools currently playing D-III schedules.

                        Otherwise, I'd guess Wossamotta U.

                          Well, he could have meant Iowa State. Or it could be another UncleRay ploy.

                            Well, my source said Iowa, but she must have meant Iowa State. Sorry for the confusion.

                              Who says a possible SU mens team has to use scholarships? They could do something similar to what UConn did.
