    I agree it is nice to be in the same league as the Marquette Teachers College and Tech Jr. for the UP rivalries, but I prefered the later start times when they played the western teams.

    Along with Mel, came massive funding increases for the program. It helps a lot when you actually have a competitive recruiting budget!

      That, I didn't know. Watters told me he was only getting 600k a year and Omaha was at 1.1M a year.

        Who is this Mel you speak of? Are you thinking of Marv Parson?

                Who would possibly want to split them up again. WCHA and CCHA were at parity and therefore split the prize/burden of subsidized Alaska travel.

                Don't see the "WCCHA" breaking into 2 conferences. With 10 small school teams there would need to be so much expansion that the conference can't handle it (at say 14 teams or 16)

                  They fly to Minneapolis & Hockey Valley. Madison or Columbus depends on scheduling. Ann Arbor & Lansing are usually bus trips.

                    The Alaska schools don’t want to be split. No conference wants to have both.

                      Yeah, not everyone has that kind of cash. Even when I was a single guy who a great engineering job, that kind of trip was still spendy.

                      For the price of a trip to Columbus, I could have gotten tickets and hotels for all other Minnesota schools combined. Without taking a day of vacation.

                        This is a big reason I am scared the Big Ten may have damaged college hockey beyond repair (to what it was at least), and I think many people are scared of admitting that as a real possibility.

                            I might be in the minority but I kind of liked it better when we were split. More variety coming in to each barn over the season, and the whole WCHA/CCHA rivalry back in the day was fun. Mudholing them in the Sully in 2010 after they crowed the entire season at us about conference superiority is still one of my favorite sports memories, followed shortly by Shyiak losing his mind the next night while we took home the hardware for the first time in several years. That trophy has lived in Fairbanks ever since.

                              I agree, I had no problem being in separate conferences. We would still be playing each other four times a year, unless the early season tournaments both returned. The conference affiliation just added another twist to the rivalry.

                                True, same thing either way for AK. What was weird was when Tech and Northern were in different conferences they'd only play each other twice a year instead of four. You have the biggest most exciting possible games right next door, highest attendance (when nobody else is anywhere near that close by) and 2 of those games are left on the table.
