Your points are valid. The WCHA 2.0/CCHA 2.0 wasn't a good fit for the MN schools and there are a lot of reasons MnSU and BSU make geographic, overall financial, and rivalry sense in the NCHC. With Hastings at the helm, I have no doubt they could thrive in any hockey conference. The sentiment from... -
CC could be added to that list as well. They were a powerhouse in the oWCHA. Now... Not so much.
Someone is always going to lose in the "super" conference....Leave a comment:

The CCHA, from a fan perspective, is light-years ahead of anything the WCHA 2.0 ever did.
Detroit News/Michigan news will occasionally carry college hockey related news. I suspect someone from the CCHA sent them the press release and had highlighted there are a lot of MTU, FSU, LSSU,...Leave a comment:

Lindenwood could kill several birds with one stone. They could set up the schedule you proposed reducing travel time, travel expenses, keep games more people want to see on the schedule, and add a significant market to the CCHA.
They could take that significant market to say, ESPN, Bally...Leave a comment:

You are correct, but that has very little to do with hockey as most hockey conferences don't align with football/basketball conferences. The focus was more on the CCHA Press Release/PR side of things.
Judging from the poll by TalonsUp, most people are neutral to negative about this move....Leave a comment:

Trying to look on the positives for why the CCHA made this move. It looks like Augustana ran solid DII athletic programs and have had recent success (DII national tournament) in their major sports.
CCHA is frustrating me because their press release wasn't very glowing about Augustana....Leave a comment:

I completely agree. NMU had "a poor little man" on their team and how many games did he cost them?
My point, there is a difference between admiring a style of play and letting that type of player on your team....Leave a comment:

Forget Iowa. The only thing good that comes out of Iowa is I-35. (The Minnesotan in me can't help it.)
If a team can get 4 NC home games and 4 NC road/neutral site games, that would be the right amount.
The whole point in dumping UA* was to get schools that were financially...Leave a comment:

From a CCHA perspective this makes very little sense. A small private school, outside of the league geographic footprint, no D1 hockey track record,... St Thomas has a well known reputation for being competitive/engaged fans, this...?
It makes sense if the league is preparing/protecting...Leave a comment:

UST was a good addition. Major market within the footprint of the conference and a school that is known for spending money on sports. LU and AU are big unknowns outside of the CCHA's footprint. Why not let them be independent for 4 years, with a scheduling agreement and see how they would fit....Leave a comment:

Most hockey fans would, but Boston is a special kind of place where some "chippiness" is appreciated....Leave a comment:

I wonder if they are awaiting public opinion? If it is negative, he goes. If it is met with crickets, he gets a new contract. Seems like they are playing a PR game more than anything....Leave a comment:

How would his formula for success work in AA or Boston? Those type of schools are more reliant on one and done players than the 3-4 year kids who work at getting better. Would those fanbases be patient enough with the time it would take to implement his system? Would that perceived "level"...Leave a comment:
