I'm in... let us know if there's anything we can actually do more than joining a facebook group, calls... letters... whatever!

I think that the fans need to express their anger and digust in this matter.
The CCHA ****ed up with their decision and hopefully this will come to a more positive conclusion.

Re: Save Uah Hockey!

Any chance all the CCHA ADs are on these forums all the time and got sick and tired of us calling the watered-down CCHA the CupCake Hockey Association and so that's why they gave UAH the cold shoulder?

Maybe. Even if it is the WCHA hangers-on like SCSU or MTU fans that are doing the wolfing.

hangers-on? MTU fans?

that's founding member and owner of the trophy. and one of the most hockey savvy fanbases in the league.

Personally, if the vast majority of non-CCHA bloggers are supportive of UAH here, perhaps at every home game against a CCHA team this season, the non-CCHA folks can play Sweet Home Alabama and give a few U-A-H chants. At least it could show some solidarity against this disgusting situation.

Re: Save Uah Hockey!

How about we save the CCHA?

I wonder how many teams are folding?

3 maybe 4

I would welcome back Michigan and MSU to the WCHA.

No. And I think you know why, given the teams that you have mentioned.

Right.

I'm working on getting a bunch of people to our season opener against Notre Dame---not to boo the Irish and the CCHA, but to cheer on our boys. I want us to be positive about this, to show what we have, and all that.

Yup, and LSSU and BG (and NMU for that matter) are proud, knowledgable past National Champions... but are subject to ridicule and laughter ("cupcake hockey league") because of the arrogance of some of your conference's fanbase. Tell me the last time MTU was relevant in the national picture, and I'll tell you how old I am. And, except for a brief couple of years of one and done in the NCAA tourney, SCSU has done nothing to carry the WCHA banner. Living vicariously through your conference heavies gives no latitude for making the CCHA the butt of your jokes.

Maybe it's unfair that this is directed to MTU (I do respect many of your fans) since it was a SCSU fan that popped off, but consider it collateral damage.

Re: Save Uah Hockey!

Geof-

I signed up this morning. There are at least 4 or 5 of us (so far) from the RMU contingent on there. I sent invites as well.

We will not go quietly in that great goodnight...

Re: Save Uah Hockey!

I don't think there's any way to fill out the schedule with additional games against big draws to cancel out adding UAH. The bottom line is every weekend a "big draw" plays UAH is one weekend they're not playing a current CCHA member.

As I calculate a possible schedule (16 weeks with one team off each week) they could keep the same 28 league games in 16 weeks. The spots that UNO would have had would be filled by other CCHA schools resulting in lower travel costs and some additional "big draws". Of course having a team off every week could make scheduling non-conference games difficult. UAH might well be the only available team many of those weeks.

Re: Save Uah Hockey!

as a WCHA fan, I've always thought the CCHA sucks. this decision confirms it!

it wasn't the decistion to establish the shootout?

Re: Save Uah Hockey!

Right now, I don't even wanna see expansion... I'm happy with retention.

Big Ten here we come.

No. And I think you know why, given the teams that you have mentioned.

How much would Charger logo stickers for helmets cost? Shouldn't be a problem filling a pot with $ donations...exemptions for UAH opponents, of course...

that got me thinking the CCHA might suck.

An interesting idea. But why limit it to the non-CCHA folks?

I'm sure I'm not the only CCHA fan that is upset over this decision. As a college hockey fan, it saddens me. There may be some pro-UAH signs being held by me in Yost this year.

Certainly I will need an "Alabama > Ohio" sign for games against teams from that awful state.

And I'm sad, 'cause I had already started talking to some friends about a potential trip to Huntsville if they joined the CCHA.
