    2025-26 Division III Women's Hockey

    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...

    2026 Bracketology: The Road to the Aud

    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.

    2025-2026 Little East

    The original poster had pairings wrong. 1 seed plays the 4/5 winner.

    2026 Bracketology: The Road to the Aud

    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...

    2026 Bracketology: The Road to the Aud

    This. There is ZERO chance Salve thought/wanted this scenario going into the season.

    2026 Bracketology: The Road to the Aud

    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.

    2026 Bracketology: The Road to the Aud

    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...

    2025-26 Division III Women's Hockey

    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...

    Oswego State Lakers 2025-26...Let's Take it up a notch.....

    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...

    Norwich Hockey - Time to Regroup

    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...

    HOBART HOCKEY 2025-2026 REIGNING THREE -PEAT D3 HOCKEY CHAMPIONS

    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...

    2025-2026 Little East

    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.

    SUNYAC 25-26 The start of a new era

    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.

    2025-26 Division III Women's Hockey

    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...

    2026 Bracketology: The Road to the Aud

    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.

    2025-2026 Little East

    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...

    2026 Bracketology: The Road to the Aud

    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.
