    Basically, what was once the WCHA men's conference will now be known as the CCHA, minus three teams: Alabama Huntsville, Alaska (Fairbanks) and Alaska Anchorage which will be left out on their own (as will Arizona State, but they are already Independent). The "new" CCHA will be comprised of Bemidji State, Minnesota State Mankato, Bowling Green, Ferris State, Lake Superior State, Michigan Tech and Northern Michigan.

    I don't see how this shift will have any impact on the women's WCHA since only two of the teams in the new conference even have a women's team.
    I didn't know if the mwcha teams financially propped up the overall wcha or not.

      From what I've read travel expenses had a lot to do with dropping the two Alaska teams and Huntsville. That and the questionable future of both Anchorage and Fairbanks, neither of which are self supporting. This realignment could very well be the nails in the coffins.

          Quick thoughts on the awards....

          Shirley could easily be first team, but I get that you can't have an entire first team of F from the same team.
          My gut hoped Steffen would get on the 2nd team and she did, great for her.
          Hymlarova is really really good, I'd be shocked if she doesn't get poached by another team. She stood out when UW played them at home.

            - Across all four of the selected 'teams', Duluth, OSU and Minn all had as many or more representatives than Wisconsin did. This amuses me a bit.
            - There was/is nobody on the Wisconsin roster who deserved even a passing thought for the all-Freshman team. This worries me...

              UW Freshman....I thought Edwards played really well. At first she got spot time early in the year, then at the end she was a regular pair with Rowe from what I could tell. All conference material? IDK, but she was playing well and not having any obvious screw ups. The lack of impact by the Fr forwards scares me immensely, but Watts did essentially take away an opportunity for Greig or G Shirley to play with the top 3 lines. I expect Webster and O'Brien to be tremendously impact next year for UW.

                What's amusing about it? WisconSIN has 4 representatives on the first two teams, which is deserved, but that means that there are 3 first line forwards from Minnesota and Duluth who are on the third team. Should another Wisconsin D have made it? Meh...LaMantia and Buchbinder aren't better than Willgren or Jaques, so no. The only thing is, for me, I'd take Steffen and Dunne on the first team and move Bell down to the second team. Maybe this year's teams are reflective of the level of parity there is between the top four teams and the improvement of the other 3 teams in the league.

                None of the sinner Freshmen deserve to be on the all freshmen team although I seem to recall Tim possibly mentioning that Grace Shirley might be even better than her sister. That was probably just thinner talk.
                At the outset, we could hang with the dude...

                  Yes, that is 100% true. Apparently I was wrong. I should have tried a different brand of thinner I guess.

                    Re: WCHA Conference: The 2019-20 Season

                    So, it's time for the annual 'where can I watch the WCHA women's tournament' problem.

                    Right now the Wisconsin schedule web site shows that Sunday's final is going to be on Fox Sports Wisconsin. I presume that means Fox Sports North, as well. But I find nothing about any video of Saturday's games - nothing at UW web site, at Minn team web site, nothing at WCHA web site, and nothing on the BTN Plus schedule (where regular season home Gophers game were always shown).

                    Anybody know anything?

                        Huh... I thought I had looked at their 'preview' article yesterday, and did not see that. Right now, they don't have a 'watch here' link on their schedule page yet, where they usually would. (And nothing on the BTN Plus schedule page, buy that's not unusual.)

                        Thanks.

                              Individual season awards. No surprises, I'd say.

                                I'd agree, although they could have used an edit on the caption of Watts' award. Must be a copy/paste from the past.
