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.
Yes, yes, I understand - "bad" losses trump everything with NPI. I'm not saying that I don't understand, Im saying it's very flawed. My post honestly wasn't a dig at Utica, but if you insist...
* Utica is 18-7, Aurora is 23-4-1
* Aurora has played 9 (will be 10) games against USCHO top 15...
Adrian has always been accommodating to new programs and open to scheduling them. They also let Hiram use their rink for some Sunday games against other NCHA teams in town to play Adrian on Friday and Saturday. I think this is a result of the lack of respect they received when their program...

Would Aurora be penalized that much for a road loss at SNC? My gut tells me that if SNC wins the autobid, Aurora gets one of the last at-large berths.
Hamilton is in the midst of almost losing 3 in a row, and yet they stay planted at #2 (that's that NESCAC majik...)
Aurora just beat Adrian 6-2 to move to 5-0 vs them this season. Will travel to the winner of SNC vs. Trine next Saturady. Do they stay behind Adrian in the NPI??
I've never thought too highly of ACHA hockey, and having the #1 and #2 overall seeds on the same side of the bracket (and apparently the visitors for their second games) reinforces my feelings. https://www.achahockey.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/02/M1_2026_nationals_bracket-scaled.jpg
Is this new? St. Norbert has hosted Adrian in a first round game. http://www.collegehockeystats.net/0910/boxes/madrsnb1.m10 Oh dang, just answered my own question - this was when Adrian was in the old MCHA!
