Re: Michigan Tech Offseason III: Two Years To Prove It Can Be Done
To respond to a question from the last thread about mr Mcleod. It was posted on another thread the he was instrumental in the rift between teams in the WCHA and if this post is even half true, his leadership ability is suspect.We need someone who is not confrontational in this job. Mr Mcleod is not that person imho.

I don't think McLeod could've prevented this, however I also believe that he did almost nothing to prevent it, and I suspect that he may have accelerated it.

If he didn't know he's incompetent. If he is at fault as the other poster contends, and if indeed he went off on certain now gone WCHa members as is alleged, he is incompetent also, either way, he is not the guy for the future.
Re: Michigan Tech Offseason III: Two Years To Prove It Can Be Done
Well if you are going to bring in all those CCHA teams, why not just rename the conference CHA with Western and Central divisions? NMU jumps to the Western division, UAH joins the Central division and everyone else just keeps on keeping on...
Re: Michigan Tech Offseason III: Two Years To Prove It Can Be Done
I would love to have Western if the Times New Roman Conference doesn't take them, but I think the MN schools would have the same reservations about adding them as they would LSSU. I have a feeling that the non-AK schools are looking to make the rest of the WCHA as much of a bus league as possible, and while busing to the Soo and KZoo is feasible, it's not ideal from Bemdiji, St. Cloud, and Mankato's point of view.

Then are you are better off having 2 separate conferences to maximize the auto-bids but have a scheduling agreement too

Because it would be for the good of college hockey, not a selfish decision right?

I think you are yes. I think college hockey is too, because it is possible that schools like BGSU, etc, might keep hockey around if they can logically do so.. But there have been a number of hints of domino's. We'll see.

They would be forced to do it, much like we forced you guys to join our shiny new conference. Try to keep up.

Re: Michigan Tech Offseason III: Two Years To Prove It Can Be Done
As far as the title of the thread says, I don't see why not. Look what we did in a year and we were basically the CCHA's whipping boy from 2004ish on.
What conference Western ends up in? I'm personally torn on all options. If they got invited with Notre Dame to the NCHC, they have to take it but it's an almost definite return to scratching and clawing to stay out of the basement in the short to medium term. Other options are likely going to require a robust non-conference schedule both for pairwise considerations and to keep fan interest up. I know St. Cloud's been to more tournaments in the last 10 years than WMU has in 30, but the guy I work with who occasionally picks up tickets likely doesn't. Alternately, there's also getting the downtown arena built and selling enough booze that the fans no longer care that it seems to be a lot of Mercyhurst and Canisius visiting.
