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.
Well ever since this conference was announced, it felt like it was built for Babson and Norwich to be the initial kingpins and sure enough, they'll meet for all the marbles on Saturday with both basically needing a victory in order to get into the dance.
I'll be watching for sure on Flo on...
At least people left the arena...
Kreitzberg had a fire alarm go off probably 8 or so years ago now and no one moved a muscle...everyone just kept playing. I was sitting up doing the stats and like umm I think we should be trying to exit the building right now...but the game just kept going and...
Let’s not act like the US didn’t deserve to be on the same ice here. Sure Canada had stretches they carried the play, but the US played a very good game and deserved the win. Yes Hellebuck was a big part of it. But let’s not forget Canada failing to score on the 5x3 and players like Trocheck and...
Almost every year spring break falls during the conference playoffs. Some years at least the conference finals have fallen while the students were still around.
It's been a revolving door since Michael Bielak was there, and even while he was there, the position was poorly supported in the grand scheme of things.
24 sports, especially with men's hockey, men's basketball, baseball being at the national level and now the women's hockey coming onto the...
The avoiding intra-conference matchups rule is newer. I believe it went in last year or the year before.
Elmira and Hobart played in the first round a few years ago too when both were members of the NEHC.
This field honestly isn’t that bad.
Salve is its own thing, but outside of that…this is a very competitive and “normal” looking field.
The big outliers this year is 3 autobids are being taken up by teams that are much further down in the NPI.
Generally there are 1-2 “weaker” teams that end up...
THIS is a really great point. I hate that Salve is being vilified a bit because of something that was completely out of their control. It’s actually a pretty cool story, albeit potentially controversial because of lack of SOS compared to other teams.
I still think the objectivity of the math is the way to go. The women's tournament, despite what Sugar prattles on about on X these days looks pretty darn good based on what has happened so far in the results. His prejudice against the NESCAC and Eau Claire being on the outside looking in right...
Colby finishes with two games at Middlebury and then has the NESCAC tournament to go. Very easy to see them losing at least two games and I don't think they hold onto that final at-large spot if they lose twice, unless maybe its in the NESCAC final.
I think it's more likely NESCAC finishes with...
That's awesome they finally got that figured out! I will say video boards are their own beasts...you need dedicated people that know what they are doing in order to be able to run those and use them to their full capabilities. It's not something any Joe schmo can pick up and run in a matter of...
It seems like the league change coupled with the coaching change have given this program a shot in the arm this year. Plenty of hockey left to be played and a first round or semifinal exit would be a major disappointment given how the season has been trending the last few weeks.
The road to the...
Zero disrespect intended to Middlebury and their accomplishments of five straight 1995-1999 and three straight 2004-2006, but what Hobart is doing right now to me is more impressive because there are just so many more good teams. When Middlebury was dominating, there was 10, maybe a big stretch...
Best chance for two bids for the LEC is Babson running the table and then losing to Norwich or Plymouth in the final and then they would have an outside shot. Other than that, zilch.
Got hot at the right time. They were found guilty of financial (international) aid infractions but they did not have to vacate the national championship.
