    Why in the hell would the conference have a tournament in a city further east than any member institution? The geographic center is closest to Green Bay, and that makes zero sense either. Keep it on campus.
    Current NCAA D-I rinks I've been to:

    AHA:
    B1G: UMich, MSU, UMinn, Notre Dame, OSU, UWisc
    CCHA: BSU, BG, FSU, LSSU, MSU, MTU, NMU
    ECAC:
    HEA: UMass
    NCHC: Miami, UMD, UND, SCSU, WMU

      I can't wait until the new league sets up their website so fans can submit ideas for a new commissioner, new officials, tournament format/locations, overtime format, who should be the 8th team - if any, tv broadcast options, what kind of beer and hotdogs are available at the rink, etc.

          The Berry has Blackrocks, which is good. I'd like to see KBC Widowmaker available as well.

            I haven't lived in Bemidji since 2013, but I'd put Stittsworth up against anything I've tried anywhere else

              All rinks should have a selection from the opponent's city and a locally brewed feature. I'd like to sample beers from around the league when they come to visit the Mac.

                Re: New CCHA Back From The Ashes.

                How about a strange scenario like this coming....

                Miami and Western decide that the NACHO isn't really for them. Miami especially might fit this description. They are a natural fit to the new CCHA. Western as well, possibly. That leaves the NACHO with 6 teams. Barely viable. But, look at the footprint of it in that case....DU, CC, UND, UNO, UMD, St Cloud. Those are all getting pretty far west. ASU would fit there, for sure......

                Could the future hold something like that?

                  The perfect guy to be commish for this league would be George Gwozdecky. Brought Miami program back when they were in the CCHA. Natty Champ as player, coach. Pro experience w/ Tampa Bay. Knows the college game

                    Well the Huntington Center in Toledo is only 20 minutes from BG.
                    Since BG owns all rights related to anything CCHA perhaps they get to dictate some things favorable to them?

                      Right and why does ASU escape blame bx when they pulled the plug on joining the WCHA, that was the end of the league.

                        If you are really talking footprints, once you remove Miami and Western, the logical replacements would be Mankato and Bemidji is literally on the route between UND and UMD.

                          The same Gwozdecky that assisted in the orchestration of formation of the NCHC, and then was fired before ever coaching a game in his shiny new league?

                            The best case scenario (which I don't think is realistic, just hoping) is that the reformation of the CCHA was the seven teams saying to UAF, UAA, UAH (and college hockey as a whole) "We have carried the load this far, now it is time for others to share the load.." Hopefully there are conversations behind the scenes to simply split these three up and find them all new homes, one per conference. It is not the fault of UAF, UAA or UAH where they are located. With only 60 D-I teams there are limited options for them, especially for the AK schools being so far out West. If they were located in London, half of the D-I teams would still be an easy flight away.

                            I would love to see ONE Alaska school (UAF for history's sake, no other reason) get added to the CCHA. Then the eyes of college hockey look to the NCHC or the BigTen to do their part and pick up UAA as the other Western conferences. (The BigTen already has Notre Dame so don't give me that "BigTen schools only" nonsense.) College hockey was better off with those two teams in separate conferences. More teams can utilize the AK exemption and no one has to complain about making to two trips to AK in one season. Then hopefully UAH could find a home in a third conference (Atlantic Hockey?) and ASU (if they ever build a rink) can land where ever. Most likely in the NCHC since all they care about is schools with big budgets.

                            Having UAF, UAA and UAH all in one conference was a travel disaster for everyone in the WCHA, including those three teams. Can you imagine if ASU had ended up in the current WCHA as well? They would have had to change their name to the Four Corners of the US Hockey Conference. I know UAH really wanted to be in a conference, but do you really think they wanted two of the teams to be located in AK if they had a choice? Do you really think the AK schools want everyone looking at them as "conference killers"? If college hockey really cares about growing the sport, then it is time for ALL of the conferences within reach to help support these programs, and that INCLUDES the nCCHA that is splitting from them.

                              Will BG transfer all rights related to anything CCHA to the league once it is incorporated? I would think so.

                              And if they want to play close to home, learn home ice during the regular season. On campus > neutral sites.

                                This.

                                If Miami AND/OR Western can scrape together the hefty exit fee from the NCHC, that swap of four teams seems natural.


                                Then, at that point, the MACtion schools can whine about the Mackinac Bridge fare being a financial drain, and discuss taking Ferris and a couple AHA schools with them into a brand new UP-less conference.
