Re: Save Uah Hockey!

I just want to say good luck to UAH and their fans for the rest of the season. I really enjoyed my visit to Huntsville this past weekend, not because Lowell won both games. The city is very nice and the people were friendly. The weather was also great and we had a chance to check out some of the local sites and restaurants (The Old Train Station, Jack Daniel's Distillery, Lee Anne's and Nolan's Pub). I would have no problem going back for another visit.

Hopefully other DI programs will step up and help UAH out by scheduling some games in Huntsville, at least until they find a league home.

Thanks!

Re: Save Uah Hockey!

It's interesting that the S.I. article mentioned the possibility of extending that deal to UAH.

Yeah, and in that artical, they named Bemidji State as last year's NCAA winner. Just how much real research do you think they really did for it???

I'm sure it'd help.

Looking forward to the trip in a couple weeks.

True, but Alaska has that game exemption deal with the NCAA. Not a bad deal there.

Re: Save Uah Hockey!

Like Alaska fits the WCHA and CCHA geographic footprint?

That's a different circumstance, and you know it.

I had to word that very carefully, as this was told to UAH by the MAAC in 1998. AHA fans are quick to point out that the AHA administration is not the MAAC administration, and I understand the issues that the hockey league had with the MAAC (particularly the affiliate members).

True, true.

Re: Save Uah Hockey!

UAH has already been told once by the schools of Atlantic Hockey that it doesn't fit within the league's "geographic footprint."

So please understand my skepticism.

Re: Save Uah Hockey!

That's unfortunate. Because there is nothing "Atlantic" about Colorado. Maybe they want to stay a bus league +1. With almost half of the new league in and around Buffalo (Canisius, Niagara, RIT, Mercyhurst and Bobby Mo) maybe they need to move the league offices a little west of Boston. They need to get over the fact that they're not the MassPike league anymore.

Re: Save Uah Hockey!

Chris Lerch confirmed (repeated?) it in his Atlantic Hockey column today. Personally, I think that's a great trade. The weather is ALWAYS better in Huntsville than Erie, and with Bobby Mo and Viagara, the AHA could have an "West/Old CHA" division. Personally, I hope this works out, and we can welcome the Chargers into Atlantic Hockey. Based on the results two weekends ago, you guys would instantly be in the conversation for the league title.

Re: Save Uah Hockey!

Ah... Since Weston wrote it, there was no way I would have seen that...

If this is indeed true, I wonder why Mercyhurst wants out... I would have figured that Niagara would be the first to jump ship if an opportunity would come about...

Mercy Wurst.

Mercy Worst?? Bah!!!!
