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

Looks like a really nice rink but wow that’s definitely on the smaller side for a tournament. Couldn’t imagine how much of a pain it was to get tickets for it (hope everyone here managed). Still should be a really good one to watch online.
Cheers for the suggestions. Think one of my professors suggested Strange Brew so will probably check it out... and maybe do a quick bar crawl on the way to the SNHU.
Wow that’s quick, guess Norwich is already looking to ditch this season behind them.
Interesting to get a look at an LEC schedule for next year. Only 3 out of conference matchups… but also hosting 2 tournaments.
Historically NEC got the best of Plymouth but the tides have turned in recent years. Still whenever they play the refs are in for a long night trying to stop any fights.
I know they were on the brink maybe 15-20 years ago. They’ve held on since and know they put a heavy emphasis sports to make...
Also worth noting Keene gets conference play for the first time. Rivalry hockey with Plymouth will be fun to watch. That and the battle of Rt-9 with NEC just up the road.
And West Connecticut will field a program for the first time with Doug Friedman. He was the director of hockey operations at...
The new LEC is going to be an open race and there’s a lot of story lines heading into next season.
Agree with Prez that it will likely be a 3-way race between Babson, Norwich and Plymouth. All three teams had off an year but are still competitive and strong programs. Have a feeling Norwich will...
Excited for a trip to Manchvegas for the regional. 3 New England schools (with a battle of the Metro West) and a possible championship rematch should be a fun one.
Was over there a couple weeks ago for their playoff matchup vs SLU and it’s such a unique rink for games. Feels old school and gritty with a lot of history. That and would be a good distance between a lot of the northern New England/New York powerhouse schools. Any NESCAC-SUYNYAC-CNE matchups...
If that’s the case for revenue, then maybe less of an incentive for a D1 campus to host but would still help out D3 schools not bear additional cost of hosting. Then again, PSU has only hosted one tournament game to my knowledge so who would I be to know.
RIT would be a cool host site. SHU’s...
It definitely makes sense, and I’m hoping they continue to cement that shift to neutral sites.
We all wish our respective teams/schools had Utica’s situation with a nationally recognized team based out of a facility like the Aud… but that’s just not feasible for anybody. Feel like it is common...
Just trying to understand as someone more new to D3 world.
I get the logic behind wanting to give schools the opportunity to host a national tournament, considering the publicity and revenue boost. At the same time though I’m confused as to why the NCAA goes back and forth between neutral and...
Congrats on the big series win over Union. Visited from DIII world for the first round game against SLU and enjoyed checking out the Thompson. Great history in the building and hoping Dartmouth does well vs Clarkson.
Couldn’t be more excited for the LEC to kick off next year. Number of existing rivalries will carry over while some historical ECAC Northeast (and older) matchups will be renewed. West Conn will have a new program, Keene will get conference play, Norwich and Babson will matchup against Plymouth…...
