Re: Union College Hockey 2014-2015 "ReUnion 2015? Why "Nott"?
Looking over the ECAC at this point, I still believe that I am correct in my assumption that the league is stronger than it was last year. This is due in part to a stronger group of IVY's, as a whole. The competition within the league should get pretty savage in the coming weeks. The question is, will this lead to more ECAC teams making the NCAA's than in previous years. I believe the answer is no. I believe that we will end up with the usual 2-3 teams. The problem is our out of conference performance. Don't get me wrong, our out of conference performence is good, just not good enought to land perhaps a 4th team. We are (just barely) the second best team to the NCHC. However, the sample size is for the most part is too small to draw any conclusion. We are 35-27-4 OOC (Not counting OOC against league opponents) and 17-9-2 against HE.
If I counted correctly, here are the ECAC teams that are helping our OOC record. I am including here OOC results where the team was also a league opponent.
Who is helping > or = .500 in OOC
For these 9 teams 31-14-3
HARVARD 4-0-0
DARTMOUTH 2-0-0
UNION 6-2-0
BROWN 2-1-0
COLGATE 6-3-0
YALE 2-1-0
St. LAWRENCE 4-3-1
QUINNIPIAC 4-3-1
CORNELL 1-1-1
Who is not helping < .500 in OOC
For these three teams 5-13-4
PRINCETON 1-2-1
CLARKSON 2-4-2
RPI 2-7-1
The next 6 weeks will close out much of the OOC competition. If you or your team has an opportunity to knock off an OOC opponent (especially a NCHC opponent, like Denver) it would be greatly appreciated if you did so.
The only non-conference this week are Cornell hosting DU (2) and Colgate at Providence. Wishing both those teams good fortune. We need the wins !!!!
