I just spoke with the head of athletics at St A's and it appears optimistic that the hockey team may go division 1 in the near term.

The current AD is interim and has no input in the decision.
The president is on record that DI is off the table.
So I guess your your " source" is a little suspect.

Re: Saint Anselm College
I am under the impression that the DII teams wouldn't be playing a lot of D1 competition. Union and RIT etc. are play-ups that don't award scholarships but they play in D1 leagues against good competition. My understanding is St. A's would be playing D2 and D3 schools and somehow hoping their resume was good enough to get them in the D1 tournament. I don't know that the hope of maybe playing in the D1 tournament would be enough to bring in the talent that is required to win a National title there. Look at St. A's now, they really have nothing to play for and it shows in the talent level they have which isn't bad but not great either. If they were to be allowed to drop down to D3 and compete for a title I think that would change the level of talent they brought in considerably.
