    He's (fishy) just upset because Utica has never won the ECAC west title.

      No.

      It's not about me deriving some vicarious sense of personal vidication via the team I follow most closely, unlike many posters here... It's all about the process, and whether it holds any water.

      And at its back-end, at the very least, that process is an embarrassment.

          The MASAC and NE champs will have earned it by winning the conference tournament of a league that meets the NCAA criteria for an autobid. Period.

          Atlantic Hockey's champ gets an AQ at the D1 level and occasionally makes some noise (see RIT and Holy Cross.). The Underdog/Hoosiers element is one of the cool things about NCAA hockey and if you don't like that, then beat it, you're following the wrong sport.

          Just relax, it looks like there is a good possibility that the W is going to get a 7th member and an AQ fairly soon, and the team you follow will have its fair shot at a Pool A too.
          Was I "mistaking"..?

          The AQ's themselves are the problem. Without them, the field would likely be a decent representation of 90% of the better teams in D-3.

          • My guess for the Pool B and C teams
            Pool C will be:
            Trinity (Conn.)
            Loser of Oswego/Plattsburgh
            Loser of St. Norbert/Adrian
            Pool B will Most likely be UW-Stevens Point
            Thus Giving the tournament The "popular" 4/7 split between West and East

            West Game one will be Adrian vs UW-Stevens Point 490.0 miles
            West Game two will be St. Mary’s/Hamline vs St. Norbert 218.0/278.0 Miles
            I do not think they will have St. Norbert vs Adrian 435.0 miles play until the third game but then agaib this is the NCAADIII

            The East the teams are in a BINGO drum

              That's not the point. The point of tournaments is to reward the teams that win, not the teams that we perceive to be better. If that was the point then why even play the games? Just use the criteria to decide who the national champion is.

                  So, you're beating it then? Great!

                        As the Sports Information Director at Norwich University are you really posting here to suggest Bill Kangas is corrupt? This isn't the first time you have said such a thing. Care to share your evidence?

                                I think it's Hobart over St. Norbert. I think the defending champs are done. I think my only question is if Amherst loses tomorrow, is it Oswego or Hobart that stays home? I have a feeling that Hobart may pass Oswego in tomorrow's ranking. Guess we won't know until Monday!
