The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways.
Please note that you can switch between light and dark modes by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right of the main menu bar.
We are hoping that this new platform will prove to be faster and more reliable. Please feel free to explore its features.
Agreed. River Falls runs a tremendously respectful program. But holy cow is their broadcast team pathetic. Also, those fans are RUTHLESS (in a good way, makes the sport fun).
Two of the top 3 defenders appear to be out again for Hamline. Noticed they were missing against Endicott, but based on social media posts, it's looking they are not practicing at Norwich either.
Brutal draw for the Pipers. I believe they went down in consecutive weeks against Gustavus and...
And now GAC elminates Augsburg in overtime.... Almost like the MIAC is the deepest conference in the country once again.
I'm so tired of the NESCAC bias that it's so deep when EVERY favorites ROLLS through the tournament every damn season.

Super in-depth read here on who has a chance to get in. I really like it because it actually gives the teams with slim odds, and doesn’t list them as “NO SHOT”
The article he writes makes a good point though, GAC alum or not. The NPI gets more "accurate" the more variety in teams you play.
When one region has 66 teams and the other has 25, the region with less teams is going to get the short end of the stick, particularly the ones who play zero...
Insane seeding scenarios still at play in the MIAC. Completely agree on things looking grim for the Gusties.
The forward play is incredibly poor given their pedigree. Not quite sure what they've been recruiting the last few years but their several upperclassmen besides #2 bring nothing to the...
I don’t think this needs to be mentioned here since the diehards live here, but I will anyway. The USCHO voters are becoming a joke with the NESCAC stuff. How Amherst and Middlebury are ahead of Hamline and Augsburg is gross.
Hamline beat the absolute piss out of Endicott in their own rink...
I do agree with almost all of this. Where I would push back is that I really don't think the MIAC is all that more competitive than it has been. There hasn't been any easy game in the past few seasons either.
I think it's more of an indictment on the sheer amount of talent and skill that...
Well forget that notion. River Falls pummeling GAC through 2 periods. Also, this Falcon team looks very choppy from what I've seen compared to the last two years. Hard to say that while up that big, but they do look sloppy. Gustavus' talent level has fallen off a cliff. They do not belong...
The game means not nearly as much as it has the last 6-7 seasons, but River Falls-Gustavus is a big one this weekend. GAC isn't good, but they can beat good teams for sure. We'll see if they show up Saturday.
What's ridiculous is that in the Pairwise/NPI era (2018-19 to present), the NESCAC has a combined record of 4-11-2 (.294) against the West, and a record of 290-72-23 (.783) against all other East conferences.
I can definitely see why the West is so frustrated with the lack of bids they've...
Very early, but gotta love some bracket talk! The D3HN guys posted their first bracketology post of the year. I really enjoyed reading these last season- very knowledgeable and it's cool to see who teams should be rooting for/against
