      Brutal. They're about 2.5 games worse than Atlantic Hockey in non-conference play so far.

        One way to look at it is that UAH can only lose a maximum of four more OOC games.

          while true, that really isn't fair. WCHA hasn't played ECAC or Arizona State and AHA has only 2 games against NCHC.

            Brutal might be an understatement. Sadly it's looking like there will be only one WCHA in the NCAA tournament unless we start winning a lot more NC games ASAP.

                  Hockey is not being cut at UAF or UAA. Skiing (both schools) and track (UAA) will be cut, pursuant to the NCAA waiver being approved.

                    That travel complaint has always been horse po o py, if you make it into the pros you travel a lot more. ECHL players more than likely will enjoy the Alaska trips yet again!
                    Just to be clear. My disinterest in this team became of the Uni's disinterest. Without the success of the hockey team, the other teams would not be where they are. Way to pay back the hockey team. **** UAA.

                      No i'm not nuts but I can see 4 teams in. 1. Msu mankato- at large bid. Assuming they win most of their remaining non con games and finish near the top
                      2. Bemidji- playing really well and has a few non con games coming up to get well. the und losses won't hurt them.
                      3- LSSU - could really make some noise, but haven't played anyone really tough yet, so pretty iffy
                      4. MTU- if goaltending gets fixed, could win the league

                      also, the rest of college hockey isn't dominated by a few teams like last year. BU isn't great, nor BC, nor Quinnipiac, so because of that there might be openings that weren't expected.

                        You're nuts.

                        I could see two getting in, at most. The non-conference record is too bad right now.

                          That's not reassuring. What happens if the NCAA tells them no?

                            what is the waiver required for? Going below some required minimum? I would think an exception could be made for a pair of schools so far from most of the rest.

                              When is the NCAA reasonable and thoughtful, though?

                                If you make an exception for them, you have to make it for all. Unless you make a new Alaska/Hawai'i rule. I hope UAA & UAF find a way to make it work.
