    NCAA proposing age based eligibility limits

    Another cogent rationale for collegiate hockey to divorce itself completely from the NCAA.

    D3 schools CHL rule change

    I checked the 2026 NZ commitment list for the CHL, and it appears as though there will be more CHL kids coming to D1 this season than last!? My assumption was wrong that last year would be the big bump. This means -- over 2 seasons -- some 550 D1 roster spots being taken by CHL kids that would...

    D3 schools CHL rule change

    The NAHL is the Jr League with (by far) the most D1/D3 cross-over recruits. Data suggests that the D3 teams with more NAHL kids do better, and that the D1 teams with more NAHL kids fare worse.

    D3 schools CHL rule change

    With the addition of the CHL kids this past season, my assumption would be that the NAHL recruit numbers would be the litmus test on how well both the D1 and D3 leagues would fare going forward. From my rudimentary analysis, my predication is that the NCHA and NESCAC will once again dominate...

    Hamilton College

    The GWG scored by an alumnus of Elmira's NAHL club; saw him play a number of times last season. Wish EC could keep a couple of those kids in town. 44 D3 kids already in the Xfer Portal since the beginning of March. I didn't think that D3 would be affected to that extent!? But I've been wrong...

    So does the new “Champy Triangle” now run from Geneva to Hamilton to Utica? Or is it more appropriately a “Champy Dot” ;)

    RIP Mercyhurst NCAA Men's Hockey

    Burfoot was a man amongst boys. His skills were 2 degrees of separation from anyone else playing at D3 those years. Ran into an Erie resident in Fla where we spend winters, and I asked him "do you recall a very skilled player from M'hurst from the 80s?" He immediately replied Burfoot without a...

    2026 NCAA TOURNAMENT MEGA-THREAD: THE ROAD TO UTICA

    So what you're inferring is that the first round is "essentially" a given? That's the point I was attempting to make. With the current system of AQs, the first round won't serve for much other than throwing the weaker conferences a "bone". Some of the attendance at these games appeared to back...

    2026 NCAA TOURNAMENT MEGA-THREAD: THE ROAD TO UTICA

    I was hoping that the auto-bids would eventually create a more even playing surface between the haves and have not conferences, but my hopes have not been realized. With one glaring exception, the first round games persist as a bit of a travesty, and frankly an embarrassment.
