    Agreed.

    Hey CCHA, how does my A-S-S taste? - UAH

    It's a joke to have 2 teams from the CHA in the tourney, but them's the rules.

    Go ask the following teams if the CHA member schools are for real:

    Air Force, a 2008-09 tournament team: got blitzed early by BSU and UAH
    Notre Dame: lost their opening game at home to UAH
    Alaska-Anchorage: lost to RMU at the Alaska Goal Rush
    Michigan: had to hold off Niagara on home ice for a 3-2 win early in the season
    Northern Michigan: got one point in two games against the Beavers, including a 5-0 loss the second night
    Cornell: had to go to OT to beat a visiting Niagara squad
    Minnesota: lost to Bemidji by four goals
    Colorado College: beat RMU by only one goal
    Miami [last year's runner-up]: lost to Bemidji in the Subway classic
    Ohio State: had to go to OT to beat Bemidji in the Subway classic
    RIT: lost to Niagara at home
    Vermont: beat UAH by only one on home ice in the Catamount Cup
    Mercyhurst: got waxed by UAH in the Catamount Cup
    Colgate: lost to Niagara by four goals
    Miami again: lost to Robert Morris 2-1 on home ice
    Minnesota-Duluth: lost 4-1 to Bemidji
    UNO: lost 3-1 to Bemidji

    Yes, you see the name Bemidji a lot in that list. But you see the other three member schools in there as well. Not always a win, but you said compete.

    That "legitimate" team should have done more to pad their resume during the season. Upsets in conference tournaments are always a possibility so it's never a good idea to be hanging around 14-16 in the PWR.

    Go UAH!

    Get it done younger Geoffrion!

    The irony is only funnier if UAH turns around and knocks off Miami in the first round.

    UAH coach Danton Cole is a former Spartan great. Best of luck to the Chargers tomorrow!

    First CHA tournament? Held in Huntsville. Niagara, the "home" team as the highest seed, beats UAH for the win. Niagara goes on to the NCAA's as an at-large [no AQ for the CHA until a few more years pass] and upsets UNH; Charger fans sit and home and seethe about losing on our home ice.

    Last CHA tournament? Held in Niagara. UAH, the "home" team as the higher seed ... well, we shall see.

    If Niagara wins, 2 AHA teams in the big skate.
