Millsy, we saw Dalton when Reading visited Gwinnett a couple weeks back. We peppered him pretty good with 44 shots but Reading got the 6-3 win anyway. Frannie scored the first goal against Dalton . Caruana picked up a helper on a beautiful feed on a tic-tac-toe play - Matt can make some pretty plays . And Cruthers came away with first star. And Scott Langdon was a big presence for Reading on defense. Big CHA night!

RMU and NU: If the officiating we saw in Fort Wayne is any indication of the quality of Atlantic Hockey, you might want to take life insurance out for the coaches now. Hay-soos.

We used AH officials all season, I believe. We had Marofsky multiple times throughout the season. I didn't recognize any of the other refs that did the regional though.

A review of the CHA and its quirky history from a Niagara perspective by Tim Schmitt of the NF Gazette ... dateline March 27:

CHA goes into deep freeze
By Tim Schmitt Niagara Gazette

NIAGARA FALLS — Just as awkward and scattered as the timeline of College Hockey America’s existence are the purported reasons for its demise. Title IX. Tumbling stocks for a Detroit-based software company. Failure for the college hockey world to lend a helping hand. Basic geography.

Whatever the final verdict, if the end goal of College Hockey America was to find an established home for fledgling programs, consider the majority of the mission accomplished.

BTW, the word I got even before those last games were played by CHA teams this past weekend, is that while CHA checkbook remains open just to pay some final bills, "the doors are closed." Movin' on.

Let me second, third, and forth that motion. It was the worst officiating I've seen since the days of Wilson at the VBC, and Huntsville people will know what I mean... 5hole - I don't envy you guys one bit if this is the quality of refs you're getting.

Well, boys, thanks a ton. I can't wait ... sigh. I will pass your comments on to Burkie and the staff. That will make their summer.

So this is how the expansion of college hockey dies. With thunderous applause.

I'm caught between smiling because of your Star Wars reference there or sadness because the CHA is done forever.

Not that I didn't think about you Geoff, but this option, just a lot easier on the eyes, even with your "Rugged Good Looks" and all.
