Re: Wisconsin Recruiting Vol. XXVI: Make him an offer he can't refuse
As soon as Minnesota agrees to a 1 for 1....please come back into our recruiting thread and do tell us all about it. When are the rodents scheduling Huntsville (who is on our schedule AGAIN this year) who as an independent is actually teetering on extinction?

If UW doesn't want to do a single 1:1 rotation, perhaps they can agree to play two two former conference teams who are now in the WCHA every year and split the revenue from some of their home games with those teams. Sounds like that is more digestible to you
I'll give you the option between the two. Chose whichever you want.
OPTION 1
YEAR 1: Play Away Series
YEAR 2: Play Home Series
YEAR 3: OFF
YEAR 4: OFF
OPTION 2
YEAR 1: Play Home Series (Split Revenue)
YEAR 2: Play 2 Home Series (Split Revenue 1 Series)
YEAR 3: Play Home Series (Split Revenue)
YEAR 4: Play Away SeriesLast edited by JDUBBS1280; 05-20-2013, 03:58 PM.

Originally posted by bucky15 View PostChuck, is there a reason most of the Canadians are from the Western part and not Ontario? I know the OHL is much stronger/deeper than the Q and WHL, but still you would think there would be a few every once in a while. Our last recruit from Ontario (of memory) worked out quite well for UW.

What would your position have been had Minnesota, Michigan, Denver, Tech (whom you're now too good to play) told UW to go pound sand when UW wanted to join the conference after a 30 year hiatus back in the day? Serious question.

Re: Wisconsin Recruiting Vol. XXVI: Make him an offer he can't refuse
Originally posted by Chuck Schwartz View PostWisconsin has obviously gotten some outstanding players out of Ontario, with guys like Brendan Smith and Cody Goloubef being some of the most recent. Obviously they worked out very well. I haven't done a breakdown on numbers of players coming to NCAA hockey from what province, but I think you're probably correct most come from Western Canada. Traditionally, the British Columbia Hockey League has been the strongest non-major junior league in Canada. Why is that? I don't know. But I think the combination of stronger franchises in the BCHL (compared to other non-major junior leagues in Canada) which is an NCAA feeder league, and the OHL being (arguably) the best major junior league equates to more NCAA players coming from Western Canada.Last edited by bucky15; 05-20-2013, 04:12 PM.

How many times did UMinn play at Bemidji during the last 10 or 15 years before they were forced to do so as a result of conference scheduling? Not a rhetorical question--I don't know the answer.

Originally posted by JDUBBS1280 View PostThese kids will have far less opportunities to play near home against friends and family. The rivalries the teams they grow up watching will change. UW will be less significant I that regard. Etc... There is a reason why a team like Miami-Ohio has less success recruiting in Minnesota.
UW could use the Education angle that the Ivy and prestigious schools like Notre Dame and Boston College use to sway kids, but as great of an educational institution that UW is, it would be hard to compete against those schools in that regard.Everything in its right place, Wisconsin Hockey National Champs!

Who???! So What!!!! Big Deal!!!!

Why has Minnesota not played Army in recent history? How about answer the other question already asked....how often did the flagship program in the state of hockey play Bemidji before they got forced down everyone's throat in the WCHA and watered down the conference and schedule?
They played Army in 1966.Last edited by 4four4; 05-20-2013, 08:43 PM.Slap Shot - 444 might want to consider a restraining order.

Badgers have landed a huge recruit out of Minnesota! It doesn't take playing in that State that the top players want to come to Madison. They want to go to a great program with great coaches and facilities.
