Re: Has the gap between D1 and D3 closed?
Originally posted by d3hockey57 View PostI’d like to add that looking at the pro signings, it’s about 50/50 DI/DIII in the ECHL and SPHL, which speaks for the level which the DIII players are at. The disparity comes when you start seeing the NHL/AHL signings.
Let's say that Utica is as good as it gets in D-3 this year. I'm guessing that they'd be no higher than PWR 40 in D-1, and probably somewhat lower.
Don't kid yourselves people, there's a reason guys transfer to D-3, and it's not about making the NHL. It's just about ice-time.
It's truly apples and oranges here.Last edited by Fishman'81; 03-11-2020, 11:45 PM.

Originally posted by NUProf View PostThey are in the same league as RIT, which is, by rights, a D-3 team and the reason it took so much time for the UCHC (ECAC West) to get an outbid. ECAC West was due for a Pool A slot the year after RIT left
Not seeing your point.
