What is going to happen to St. Michael's and St. Anselm's at the end of this season. Is the East going to keep them in their league although there games don't count toward pwr rankings? Will the East stay at 8 teams or add more once they cordially dismiss St. Michael's and St. Anselm's in February.

Personally, it's infuriating for me to have four games on Norwich's schedule that don't count for anything. (This year it's five with Dartmouth). On the women's side it's even worse...they have SIX games that don't count because you have to add in Division I Holy Cross too.
If they get reclassified down to D-III, great.The Poster Formerly Known as Purple_and_Gold10©

Still just doesn't make any sense to me impose a two-year grace period of get down to D-III or you're out of the league and then you still keep them as part of the league.
It's not like they don't have options. I'm sure some of the ECAC East schools would still schedule a game against both of them and they have the rest of the hockey playing NE-10 schools to fall back on.The Poster Formerly Known as Purple_and_Gold10©

Re: ECAC East Happenings
I don't think the NCAA will allow D-II to have it both ways. Right now D-II's can play up at D-I or play D-II and play in the D-I tournament.
Nobody is allowed to play down and play for the lower championship.CCT '77 & '78

As a Norwich fan, the thing that bothers me about the games not counting is that, in fact, they do count for league playoff purposes. Teams in the ECAC-E have to fight for standings in the conference with other teams that disappear once the postseason hits. It's stupid. Say St. A's finishes 4th and Babson 5th. Nope, St. A's disappears and Babson gets home ice. UNE goes winless and finishes in 10th. Nope, two teams vanish and they make the playoffs. It is completely nuts. I don't understand how this situation has lasted this long, nevermind a couple of more years. If they don't get permission for the games to count, it's time for them to go.
