Note that even though PSU defeated Minnesota in 3x3, they do not get an alternate B1G Belt because the 3x3 Belt is held by Notre Dame

Has there been a year where a team as low as St. Lawrence wins the belt at this time of year? Talk about an upset...

Probably, but I don't keep track of such things. Upsets can happen at any time of the year.

Last year UConn had the Belt and did not make the HEA tourney, but I doubt that they were ranked as low.

I think that I got all of the known next opponents.

Re: The College Hockey Championship Belt Part IV

Sorry for the noob question - did the Red-and-White belt get retired? Or was that never actually a thing?

Also curious if The Belt had ever been held by such a lowly-ranked team (St. Lawrence at 59/60), especially at this point in the season. I’m sure the data does not exist to answer, but that just seems incredibly unlikely.

The Red and White Belt still exists, but I stopped posting it. Sacred Heart has it.

This will get you back past what I posted in post #28 of this thread.
