    Just have scheduled it as :

    b1g #1 v HE #2
    b1g #2 v HE #3
    b1g #2 v HE #4
    b1g #3 v HE #5
    b1g #3 v HE #6
    b1g #4 v HE #7
    b1g #4 v HE #8
    b1g #5 v HE #9
    b1g #5 v HE #10
    b1g #6 v HE #11
    b1g #6 v HE #12

    Then everyone gets to play, and relatively equal competition.
    It's a good idea, but B1G would have to be willing to share some of the travel costs here. I would wager the budgets of the B1G are in a different stratosphere from the bottom third of HEA..

      Yours is probably fairer. Below is edited for a bigger payday and therefore, will probably happen.

      Doubt that happens.

          I assume this wasn't planned ahead of time and the two conferences decided to start it after the schedules were created, perhaps because of the changes to to pwr. Is this how the B1G teams are getting road games?

          Regardless, I'm really excited about this and hope that all the Hockey East teams are involved in the future

              Not a problem...we allow those teams that don't have a story to make up their own.

                Go ask the ACC how that "domination" is working out in the basketball challenge. You BC fans know.

                    Well, considering PSU has one season under it's belt I think even UMass tops them... And as much as I love my Catamounts I don't know that I would call them a "Storied" program. But hey, lets really just pretend and promote the crap out of it...

                      The ACC is 10-3-1 against the B1G in the challenge

                      BC is 6-1

                        B1G has had the cup the past four challenges. Last year they kept it due to the tie. Tide has turned.

                          Looks like OSU is the only team from the current B1G that is not part of this.

                            It will be interesting to see how this works out over the next few years. I would imagine many of the match ups will be the same next season with only a change in location.

                              I've heard that Wisconsin has a 4-year rotation set up with BC and BU.
                              2013-2014 - UW plays at each school once
                              2014-2015 - BU comes to UW for 2 games
                              2015-2016 - UW plays at each school once (presumably opposite nights from 2013-2014 trip)
                              2016-2017 - BC comes to UW for 2 games

                                Make them all two game series, and guarantee that every HEA team gets a home series every other year. That's about as close to equal as it can get.
