Re: The College Hockey Championship Belt Part III

Does it matter that the North Dakota-Miami game is 3 hours before the Duluth-CC game?

No. IMO, it would matter, but we had no way of knowing the exact times of games when reconstructing all of the Belts several years ago. So we just used all applicable games that were on the same day. Considering that there are only eight teams in the NCHC, they should unify fairly quickly.

You may be able to discern who will play in that match and what day. We just don't yet know where.

Canisius has many conference games missing according to your spreadsheet. It may be possible to figure out the "when" and "whom" for their first conference game (the "where" not being important), but I will wait until something is more concrete.

Fair enough. I'll do an analysis and let you know. I do agree that it will be difficult as that is usually when the "third game" is played, so it could be very random, especially given Canisius has to share its rink.

Re: The College Hockey Championship Belt Part III

After some analysis, Canisius will most assuredly play at Air Force on October 25th, based upon Canisius AND Niagara playing Denver that weekend. Knowing this, there is I'd say a 60% chance of Canisius playing Niagara the week before on the 18th. The 11th or 12th seems unlikely. I was able to get all of Canisius's eastern opponents into the January/February timeframe (Bentley will likely be January 17th/18th, either Sacred Heart or AIC Jan 10/11th and Jan 31st/32nd), and late November seems out as November 29th/30th is the most likely time that Niagara will play Clarkson (Niagara is at Michigan on the 22nd).

Yes, I know January 32nd = February 1st. It keeps the text short.

The two new NCHC have their first holders. (I changed them to 1 and 2 instead of A and B because I used that when earlier leagues started.)
