Re: Save Uah Hockey!
Originally posted by RITProf View PostYep ... I can only see a move for RIT if the ECAC somehow opens a spot or if there was a shakeup of sorts and the Liberty League (+1 or +3) formed a new small conference. That is an intriguing idea (for RIT anyway), but I really can't see why the others in the Liberty League would want to leave the ECAC (unless some advantages in non conference scheduling happened and/or the added auto bid was worth it).

(While I'm dreaming ... travel partners of RIT-Niagara, RPI-Union, and SLU-Clarkson sure seems like a nice small conference with stable programs. Could throw in Army-Colgate if 8 made people more comfortable.)
Back on topic. I'd really like to see UAH get into the CCHA and prosper. Seems like the logical place ...Last edited by RITProf; 05-11-2011, 08:27 PM.

Currently Atlantic is 27 games (3 within your pod, 2 outside). However, what I'm saying is that if the CCHA poaches from Atlantic West, it might be possible. It's quite difficult when we're wrecking our brains trying to figure out any way to keep UAH in D-I hockey, especially when the AD says they might fold in 2014 if they stay independent.

Originally posted by FlagDUDE08 View PostRobert Morris seems to be "the appeaser". Didn't they originally start in Atlantic, and then go to the CHA when it was in danger of folding because they needed a 6th team for an autobid when Air Force left? If any teams go to the CCHA, I would say Niagara and Robert Morris. Mercyhurst only if their men's team can come up to the same caliber as their women's team. And when RIT gets a full-size rink, maybe they'll hop as well. Obviously I hope one of those teams is replaced with UAH, but who knows.

Originally posted by gfmorris View PostI don't think there's any interest on either side. As bad as UAH's travel is now, a full AHA conference tilt where your closest trip is Robert Morris and most are 14-16 hour affairs unless you fly just does not work, not with a 26- or 28-game conference schedule. [I forget which AHA is anymore.] On their side, I don't think any of their schools have any interest in being with a geographical outlier.

Originally posted by chargersupporter View PostLooks like it's gonna be hard for UAH to recruit any players for 2012 and beyond unless they get some good news re a conference.
Even if the school plans to play out the string with an independent schedule for a couple of more years, players will not want to commit.
