      Great picks! Is Norwich/Middlebury and/or Plattsburgh/Middlebury worthy of Top 10 status?

        Elmira/Plattsburgh would have been there 5-10 years ago.

                    Bemidji/Vacated. Some wild games between those two way back when.

                    A Lot of (Sometimes Tainted) SUNYAC Championships
                    A Handful of ECAC West Championships
                    A Number of NCAA Appearances, Including Several Trips to the Final Four, Though Some of Them Don't Count
                    Some National Championships:
                    Women's (THIS YEAR, LAST YEAR, A Couple Years Back, '08, '07)
                    Men's (Wow Look at the Time Pass, A While before That)

                        Just guessing on this one, but was Point/UWRF a big deal in the late 80s/early 90s? With one of the two holding the title for most of that span, I'd assume there was some electricity there.

                          Point-Bemidji was a big one for a span in the 80's and early 90's, and included a meeting where the two amassed, I think, 254 penalty minutes. No love lost there. Then the "Big Four" at the time (SNC, UWSP, UWS and UWRF) were all sort of rivals in a way with SNC-UWSP big for a few years until SNC started mopping the floor with Point routinely. UWRF-Stout is a big one locally, but for the past ten plus years my vote for biggest in the NCHA easily goes to SNC-UWS.

                          St. John's-St. Thomas is a big rivalry in anything, and it wasn't all that long ago they put 4400 in the NHC for their final regular season game.

                          MCHA has a few young ones brewing, perhaps highlighted by Adrian-MSOE. I don't think those two exactly send Christmas cards to each other.

                          I wish I am able to live long enough to do all the things I was attributed to.

                            Kind of strange, The NCAA site now shows Plattsburgh as the 1987 champion instead of Vacant. See attached page: http://www.ncaa.com/history/icehockey-men/d3
