          This makes the NCHA much stronger.

            Northland ≠ Adrian, perhaps???

            Not an entirely new thing for the WIAC. Findandia used to be a men's soccer member. And, Lawrence was a member for wrestling.

                I never bought the 'travel cost' reason....they ship their FB and BB teams all over the country to play select games during the regular season...

                  Re: WIAC adds Northland

                  OK, either I am confused, or UWEC is

                  The WIAC release says the Northland joining is for 2019-20, right?
                  The Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) announced today that Northland College will be joining the WIAC as an affiliate member in the sports of men’s and women’s ice hockey effective with the 2019-20 academic year.

                  But the UWEC schedule for next year indicates the Northland game is a conference game:
                  TUE 30 at Northland *
                  * Conference

                    Re: WIAC adds Northland

                    I know that both Finlandia and Nortland had met with the WIAC representatives a month or two back. I suspect Finlandia was voted down but, also possible they never formally applied. I also know that Scholastica and even SNC have been contacted about joining. Heard today that Scholastica is most likely not interested as they like where both the men's and women's teams are at in the NCHA. Haven't heard anything regarding SNC's interest (or, most likely lack thereof).

                      I would be willing to bet St. Norbert being contacted or even being interested is someone's pipe dream.

                        Besides the whole "you took your puck and left us" sentiment from the last time, not sure SNC has lots to gain by a move. SOS may be higher but don't think it has a been a big obstacle.

                          If Finlandia were to follow Northland to the WIAC that would really leave CSS in no-man’s-land as far as the NCHA is concerned. Perhaps CSS will move to the MIAC as an affiliate member for hockey or even as a full fledged all-sport member?

                            In 2013, yes.

                            Not so sure about that now...

                              The WIAC can take Finlandia and Northland, but I'm not ready to give up CSS. That being said, CSS fits much more naturally in the MIAC.
