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)

Originally posted by davyd83 View PostThey fly to Minneapolis & Hockey Valley. Madison or Columbus depends on scheduling. Ann Arbor & Lansing are usually bus trips.
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.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

Originally posted by Squarebanks View PostI 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.

Originally posted by GoNanooks View PostI 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.Last edited by Go___Tech_Gold; 12-21-2018, 02:07 PM.
