    The UCHC announced their season will start on February 19th "provided that it is safe to conduct athletic activity at that time based on local, state and federal guidelines."

      The MIAC will continue to move forward and work to complete a 8 team, single round robin schedule. Meaning, 7 games starting in mid/late January with weekly roster testing. St. Olaf and St. Kate's will not participate in the "conference schedule" and St. Olaf will not compete at all this winter season, while St. Kate's will try to schedule some games in March.

        Let's hope other conferences come to the same decision. Sounds like there are some rumblings around the NEHC but not sure if that's the conference changing their decision or just a handful of teams planning a schedule anyway.

          Looking like hockey will be returning to the NCHA

          STATEMENT FROM THE NCHA

          Northern Collegiate Hockey Association membership has endorsed a plan for a resumption of competition during the 2021 winter season.

          A conference schedule for the women's and men's divisions is being finalized and set to be made available to the public in early January, 2021.

          The NCHA is committed to doing its best to provide a quality student-athlete experience in a manner that is safe for student-athletes, coaches, administrators, campuses, and local communities.


          Hopefully nothing changes between now and then.

            interesting news:
            https://www.uscho.com/2021/01/12/nca...ermined-sites/

            Wonder how the NCAA will have teams qualify from conferences that have chosen not to play? I know the NEHC is shut down but a few schools like Castleton and Norwich are still planning some type of schedule, will the NCAA just convert the AQ spots to at large spots for this season?

              My guess is along what you're saying: they award the AQs to the conferences that play and all other bids are Pool C

                Any inside information on the UCHC (potentially) changing their schedule? Currently with a Feb. 19 start date. With the NCAA announcement of the tournament being Mar. 19, that leaves only a 4-week schedule for the UCHC teams. Perhaps they don't participate in the tournament? Anyone know anything?

                  St. Catherine University and Macalester College (no hockey) have also voted not to participate in the MIAC schedules for winter sports.

                        No real surprises in tonight's action.

                        Hamline crushed Concordia (WI) 7-0. Sophomore forward Sophie Rausch had a hat trick plus an assist. Freshman Emme Nelson had 2 goals. Ava Bailey, a transfer from LIU Brooklyn started in goal over Jaela O'Brien.

                        Adrian rolled over Aurora 7-1. Callie Wollschlager scored twice and added an assist to lead the team. The Bulldogs have two transfers from RIT on the roster forwards Emily Stemple and Reaghan Pietrowski.

                        St. Scholastica beat Augsburg in a close contest, 5-3 (CSS scored an empty netter while on the power play). CSS had 5 different scorers, most of the points came from their middle six forwards.

                        Looking at some rosters, not many transfers abound except for Manhattanville, where interim HC Jennifer MacAskill has brought on 3 former Gusties and a player from Chatham. Some of the NEWHL teams posted rosters despite the season being cancelled. Would have been interesting to see how Potsdam would have done with no rostered goalies...

                          We'll see if games happen this weekend with HU vs. Augsburg and St. Ben's vs. Bethel
                          HU and CSB played last week in a NC (3-1 Piper win) and word is there were positive COVID cases on the ice. Could be an incorrect "word" but something happened between those two and now there's questions about a player.

                            With the postseason now cancelled, is there really any point in finishing the remainder of the season? Isn't it just a drain on the schools at this point?

                              There is value in team building (certainly with the younger players) to strengthen their desire to come back to the same school next year. Athletics drives enrollment which drives tuition dollars. The tuition fees from athletes tend to be incremental at many D3 schools.

                                I wholeheartedly agree. In addition, I know in my own daughter's case, she is simply happy to have a chance to play...title or not title. She has worked to play college hockey since a young age, and was so distraught that Covid was risking her not playing for an entire year. So while a full season with a chance of a title is always most enjoyed...she is extremely thankful for 12 games and and an extra year of eligibility.
