      The hockey season doesn't need to be any shorter and we don't need a universal starting date either. I thought I remember this coming up about 5-10 years ago. Next thing the NCAA will want to do is cut the number of scholarships.

      Leave a sucessful thing alone.

        Im not a fan of a shorter season. The hockey season is short enough already.
        Leave it to the NCAA to screw up a good thing though...

          The NCAA might also decide the 16-team tournament is too big and cut us back to 12.

            Another reason to kick Merrimack out of hockey east. Every team in the league takes 3 games off the books to shorten the season.

            Problem solved! You westerners will have to figure out a way to shorten it up out there (while whining about eastern bias of course.)

I can't imagine him ever making anyone even feel uncomfortable when he's sober.There are plenty of players in my time covering the team who have looked at me differently or flirted with me or the like. Trivino has never been one of those players. Even outside of the rink, he'll say hi and is plenty of friendly, but has never been even close to saying or doing anything inappropriate.

                So wait, do they want fewer games, a shorter season in terms of calendar days, or both?

                If it's only calendar days, then this might force leagues like the WCHA to move away from the two-game weekend series and play some sort of three-game per week series in order to fit the same number of games into a short period of time. It would likely reduce the number of conference games from two sets of two to a single set of three. that would lead to an unbalanced schedule, and not something most fans would want. People gripe enough around here about only playing certain teams for a single series once every few years as it is. This wouldn't help.

                  So, just how many games are they thinking about cutting?? 4 games? that would be 2 weeks off of a regular season. Not everybody is going to be happy with what that would do to the schedule, but it should be doable

                      Travel, and look at the opening round. Lots of empty seats.

                        For most of the WCHA, cutting games would mean cutting scholarships in non-revenue sports (since hockey pays a lot of the bills for athletics) and would exacerbate the problem of Title IX compliance.

                        If they want to improve the financial picture of their members, allow them to add a couple games without lengthening the season.

                        Oh, and I note that hockey - much more than say basketball - minimizes out-of-classroom time for these student-athletes, by playing games almost exclusively on Friday-Saturday nights. I suggest the NCAA measure "out of classroom time" rather than "length of season" as its primary yardstick of whether a sport is interfering with academics. (Take that ESPN.)

                          The NCAA doesn't care about the empty seats. The facility pays the NCAA a flat fee to host the event, and then the ticket sales are kept by the facility.

                              Flying some of the schools around to locations far away hurts them, and perhaps some of the regional locations are looking to jump out of the mix. Paying out to host a regional that no one goes to hurts just as bad.

                                They could probably make as much with two regionals, without the exception that allows us to have 28% of our teams in the tournament.
