Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1 - #60
Union has a fairly comfortable lead for the 25 spot. Realistically, one of the following would need to occur: (1) Quinnipiac or Miami go on a run and make it to another national title game; or (2) one of Dartmouth, Ferris State, SCSU, Northeastern, Colgate, Ohio State or Massachusetts Lowell go on a run and win the national championship. Of course, that is just over the course of the next season. We will see where the Dutchmen are at the end of the 2020s.Originally posted by Biddco View Post
Duluth had one of the top 5 or so decades in the history of the sport. Winning 3 titles in a decade is pretty impressive. Only Michigan (5 titles in the 50s), Denver (4 titles in the 60s), BU (3 titles in the 70s), Minnesota (3 titles in the 70s), and North Dakota (3 titles in the 80s) can claim such an accomplishment. They deserve to be in the Top 10. FWIW, UMD was 20th coming into the decade. Nice jump for the Bulldogs.Originally posted by Biddco View Post
Depending on what the teams surrounding them do, Cornell has a very good chance to push into the Top 10. A trip to the Frozen Four would almost certainly be enough, and a regional final appearance could do the trick. Moreover, as you recognized, a national title could vault them up to #9, but would probably require Duluth faltering down the stretch.Originally posted by LynahFan View Post
As for the Big 7, it will be a difficult group to catch. I would bet good money that the Big 7 won't change this decade or even the next. Unless of course Duluth just wins the title every season.
Originally posted by Biddco View PostBingo. Michigan State has 27 NCAA Tournament appearances (more than Wisconsin), 30 NCAA Tournament victories (more than anyone below them, sans Maine (tied with 30)), and 11 Frozen Fours (more than anyone below them, sans Harvard (13) and Maine (tied with 11)). Throw in a bunch of CCHA titles (and a few WCHA titles), and of course their three national titles, and the Spartans have the hardware to hang with anyone outside the Big 7. They are slipping though. Unless they turn things around, I would not be surprised to see MSU lose their grip on the 8 spot by the end of the decade.Originally posted by SJHovey View Post
Michigan State's 1965-1966 team is the lowest ranked national champion of all time (at #611 overall per my rankings). They were barely a .500 team (16-13-0), with a losing conference record (9-11-0). Yale's 2012-2013 national title squad was at least 10 games above .500, although still the second-lowest ranked champion (at #502). Michigan State's 2006-2007 team was also in the bottom ten for champions (at #389), but their 1985-1986 title squad was pretty good overall (#91).Originally posted by LynahFan View PostLeave a comment:

Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1 - #60
Not sure how any of MSU’s championship teams could be worse that Yale, who squeaked into the tourney as PWR #15 due to a lack o conference tournament upsets (IIRC).Leave a comment:

Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1 - #60
Because Michigan St. has been down for quite awhile now it's easy to forget that they were a top program for about 25 years, from the early 80's until the mid-2000's. I think they made the tournament something like 23 out of 27 years, or something like that, had a number of Frozen Four appearances, were a top seed numerous times, and were consistently fighting with Michigan for CCHA tournament and regular season titles. I think they won something like 8 regular season championships and another 10-11 CCHA playoff championships. It's my guess that the CCHA championships and that 25 year stretch of pretty sustained competitiveness is where MSU gets its edge over UMD.Originally posted by Biddco View PostLeave a comment:

Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1 - #60
I am surprised to see Michigan State so high. They do have three titles but all three of those teams have been the worst teams to win an NCAA title. But I suppose the formula that doesn't matter. UMD's 2018 team had the most losses of any national champion, but it still counts.Leave a comment:

Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1 - #60
Seems like Cornell is well poised to crack the top 10 after this season; a national title might get them to #9.
Top 7 is the elite club, however. It will be a loooong time before membership in that group changes.Leave a comment:

The decade was a mixed bag for North Dakota. The National Championship in 2016 was the team’s first since 2000, and eighth in program history, but was followed up by two seasons of not making the national tournament, breaking a streak of 15 straight trips to the tournament. Coach Dave Hakstol guided the team to the tournament every season in the 11 years that he was at North Dakota but only made it to the championship game once. He left for the head coach job at Philadelphia in the NHL after the ’14-’15 season. Long-time player/assistant coach Brad Berry was announced as the new head coach the same day as Hakstol left for Philadelphia. Berry started his career on a high note, becoming the first coach to win a D1 championship in his first year. The fans are becoming restless after two seasons of mediocrity and the team will need to return to the tournament if they expect to take back the number one spot in these rankings. – SiouxfaninSeattle

The Pioneers made the national tournament every year in the decade and are riding a 12 year streak of appearances in the national tournament, currently the longest streak in college hockey, and are well positioned for another trip to the tournament this season. The culmination of their success was winning the National Championship in 2017. Head coach Jim Montgomery took advantage of his success with the program and left after the 2017-2018 season for the head coach job with the Dallas Stars. It looks like he left the team in capable hands as first year coach David Carle, the youngest coach in D1 hockey, took the team back to the national tournament. If DU can continue the results of the past decade they stand in good shape to move up a notch in these rankings. – SiouxfaninSeattle

The unquestionable team of the decade is the UMD Bulldogs, with national championships in 2011, 2018 and 2019, as well as a 2nd place finish in 2017. The only years they didn’t make the national tournament were 2013 and 2014. Along the way they also won the NCHC playoffs in 2017 and 2019. Their success resulted in an offer for head coach Scott Sandelin to go to the NHL, but he decided to stay at UMD and was rewarded with a four year contract extension. Although they lost two players to early signings the Bulldogs look to be in great shape to continue their success and climb in these rankings. – SiouxfaninSeattle

In 2017-2018, the Big Red won the regular season title for the first time since 2004-2005, and in 2018-2019 they were an overtime goal away from their first league tournament title since 2009-2010. Cornell made the NCAA tournament four times in the decade, including the last three seasons.

The Tigers had a good start to the decade, beating defending national champion BC before falling to Michigan in 2011 in the West Regional. They followed that up with another strong season in ’11-’12, with a record of 18-16-2. But CC has not had a winning record since, going 70-135-22 from ’13-’14 to last season. Long-time coach Scott Owens resigned after the ’13-’14 season, handing over the reins to Mike Haviland, who hasn’t had a +.500 season although the team has improved to double digit wins the past two seasons and made their first trip to the NCHC Frozen Faceoff last season. The Tigers look to improve again this season with two grad transfers joining the team (and losing one grad transfer). Anything less than a winning season will likely result in a fall in these rankings. – SiouxfaninSeattle

The Crimson started the decade slowly, finishing below .500 in three of the first four years. In 2014-2015, the turnaround began, with a league tournament title and a return to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2005-2006. The next four seasons brought continued success, with three NCAA tournament appearances (including a trip to the Frozen Four in 2016-2017). Harvard also won the regular season and tournament in 2016-2017, and (perhaps most importantly) won the Beanpot tournament, defeating Boston University in the final. – drshoenLeave a comment:

The Golden Knights started off poorly in the decade, with four losing seasons in the first five. The 2013-2014 season was the first year of the decade that they won a playoff round. They then had four straight winning seasons. In 2017-18, Clarkson returned to the league final four for the first time since 2006-2007; they won the semifinal, then lost to Princeton in the final. Clarkson made their first NCAA tournament since 2007-2008. Then in 2018-2019, Clarkson went one game better, beating Cornell in the league tournament final in overtime. They made the NCAA tournament again, and lost to Notre Dame in overtime. – drshoen

The Engineers returned to the NCAA tournament in 2011 for the first time since 1995. Unfortunately, that return lasted one game, a 6-0 shutout to North Dakota. The Engineers have not returned to the NCAA tournament since. Only three times in the decade did RPI win their 1st playoff round, and they lost in the 2nd round all three times. The 2nd season under Dave Smith showed some improvement, with the Engineers winning 10 games – their highest total in the last three seasons.

The next year brought another league tournament; then in 2013-14, Union won the regular season, league tournament, and the NCAA tournament (the second straight tournament won by an ECAC team). Union also won the regular season in 2016-2017, and finished above .500 every year except for the 2015-2016 year. – drshoenLeave a comment:

That season was the first of four straight NCAA tournament bids, including another title game loss in 2015-2016 to North Dakota. In that same four year span, the Bobcats won three regular season titles and their only ECAC tournament title. Quinnipiac had a losing record in 2017-2018 for the first time since 1995-1996, when they were a Division II independent. The Bobcats came back in 2018-2019 and won the regular season title, and made the NCAA tournament. – drshoen

Conference Achievements in the Decade: 2011 CCHA Regular Season Champions. 2011 CCHA Tournament Champions. 2015 NCHC Tournament Champions.
The decade started with a lot of optimism after getting to the national championship game in 2009. It was a tough ending however, as the Redhawks gave up 2 goals in the last minute of the third period and falling in overtime to BU. Miami followed up with a great season in ’09-’10, winning 29 games, the CCHA regular season title and getting to the Frozen Four before falling to eventual champs BC. They had three consecutive 20+ win seasons and won the regular season championship title in the final year of the CCHA in ’12-’13. Life in the NCHC has been challenging, with only one 20+ win season and losing seasons in the last four, which resulted in the firing of long-time coach Enrico Blasi. New coach Chris Bergeron will hope to turn the program around in the upcoming season. – SiouxfaninSeattle

The decade was a very successful one for the Huskies, with only two seasons under .500 and six trips to the NCAA tournament. They won the conference regular season championship in their last year in the WCHA (2012-2013), and won the NCHC regular season championship three times – 2013-2014, 2017-2018 and 2018-2019. The regular season championship in 2012-2013 was the first for the school in division one. SCSU also won the NCHC tournament championship in 2016. The Huskies were the number one overall seed in the ’18 and ’19 NCAA tournament but fell to the number sixteen seed both years. It looks like the program is in good hands in head coach Brett Larson, who guided the team to a 30 win season in his first year behind the bench. Picking up more hardware will continue the Huskies rise in the rankings. – SiouxfaninSeattleLeave a comment:
