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.
This is completely false. The NESCAC was not involved in the committee that created the framework for the NPI.
I'm not debating the uscho/d3hockeynews polls might show bias towards traditional powerhouse schools or conferences. But, what "poll" doesn't have that? look at the SEC in football...
Salve Regina continues to slide down the NPI as they sit idle (now down to 10th)...I really think this situation is going to sort itself out over the next month and they'll be on the outside looking in because of their weak SOS and not much for QWB.
Still 7-8 conference games left for most teams so plenty could still shift around, but I would agree that it does appear that Babson and Norwich have positioned themselves as the co-favorites and in good spots to lock up the top two seeds.
Unfortunately, unless someone gets really hot and then...
I don't know this for a fact. But I would think the NPI (if it couldn't do neutral) would have to factor in where the game started to be played as the home team.
Huge 2-0 win for Norwich over Amherst tonight on the road.
Cadets setting themselves up for a chance at an at-large bid without the AQ this year.
Didn't even notice but that win last night vaulted them all the way up to the No. 2 spot in the NPI. As long as they take care of business in the...
I don't know if anyone ever thought Utica wasn't a "good team"...there first four games of the season were literally as hard as it could possibly get and they ended up on the short end of the stick in each of them.
To think their season was over after 4 games with an automatic bid in play was...
I didn't watch a second of it...but I saw some posts on FB this morning complaining about the officiating.
I have a REALLY hard time with officiating complaints because it's so prevalent in every level and I strongly feel that they USUALLY don't have THAT big of an impact on what the outcome of...
I agree. They will be stagnant while other teams are picking up quality win bonuses etc. I firmly believe this situation will sort itself out and Salve will be on the outside looking in as well.
I think we're FINALLY starting to see D3 women's hockey start to catch up to where the men's game was about 15-20 or so years ago when it went from being about 10-15 teams that were good to 40.
It seems like there is starting to be more parity than ever on the women's side with Gustavus and...
High school athletic director in me just cringed to my core...
IIRC, the rink staffing has undergone some changes though recently, correct? I know Fred is still back as the ice scheduler, but I believe Kevin Reed, who was responsible for ticketing and hiring out the ticket and game operations...
100 percent. Look at the Elmira women...they are also a couple steps behind where they have been and even when the men's program had ups and downs, they were still very consistently a top 10 or even top 5 team throughout.
