The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways.

Is there a team(s) in the East next year that should be a hands on favorite?
In the West while UWRF will bring back a lot of talent, they have some huge holes to fill (Aure, Goodreau, O'Kane). Hamline's only question is goaltending, if that gets squared they might be the team to beat. UWEC...
How much rope do you think Brausen gets? She's been on the staff recruiting this group from the start. Will give her kudos for landing some great recruits, yet the record remains stagnate. This team should be top 5 in the WCHA with how popular the schools is, new facilities, etc....
She's indicated as a grad transfer, which I've always felt was a great part of this. One last year of hockey while pursuing additional education, team knows what they're getting and so does the student. When done right, it can be a great thing.
I wonder how many tickets are actually released to the public after playoff priority request. As some are reserved through the UWRF R Club fundraising program, UWRF students, and the other team which probably has a similar setup. It can't be many, they do sell out very fast.
The atmosphere there is a lot of fun! I don't know the backstory on the broadcaster's, I believe they typically have students from the Communications program during the regular season not these older homers LOL. You would expect that from students, not from more experienced callers.
While...
The West has won the last three, going for four. Also I agree with you, can't say I'm worried with UWRF in our corner. The Hamline vs Norwich matchup should be a great game to watch.
LOL, we're saying the same thing. Colby needed to win to make the field as the NESCAC champion, Amherst was in the field win or lose. A Colby win would have bumped Williams out of the last at large spot, instead they're celebrating.
I didn't rip on Augsburg at all? Totally agree with Augsburg and Hamline having good teams during the past decade....that was never mentioned. What I said was 3-4 years ago the MIAC and/or UWEC deserved a team between them into the playoffs beyond UWRF and Gustavus and it didn't happen...
Splitting up the three MIAC teams would make things really interesting. If they keep UWRF at home, it's most likely Hamline as a 7 playing an East team to face UWRF in the next round. Then send both CSB and Augsburg out East. I hope that's how they do it, as it would make for some fun matchups.
I'm a huge fan and advocate of the MIAC, but I think there's less bias in the index ranking results now than 3-4 years ago when the West was only Gustavus, UWRF, and Adrian representing. At the time both GAC and UWRF were easily top 4 teams in the nation and forced to play each other to move...
UWRF beats UWEC handily 6-3, but the game was closer through two. UWRF jumped on them early going up 3-0, then Eau Claire changed momentum by scoring two straight. It looked like we had a game again, but a hooking penalty by Eau Claire right before the end of the second came back to haunt...
