2 weeks stinks

[PrezdeJohnson09]

All you need to do is to get Adrian or the MCHA to agree to host, and Michigan to agree to put a reasonable cost on the use of the facility.

Two weeks was perfect for me!!! Got to see the
Mens quarterfinal since the Norwich women got the bye and then got to experience last nights national championship win for the women. Outstanding effort by the cadets and a first rate crowd and hosting job by rit. You would have never got 1400 any other place IMHO. We're on the bus back now. For any Norwich fans looking to meet up with us we will be getting in around 6:30 7pm tonight to Kreitzberg. Come out and welcome the national champions home! Now I get to get on a plane to minny wednesday. Unreal two weeks. Words couldn't describe the feeling last nite sitting there and watching it all unfold.

I texted Charlie after the game saying I may be purple and gold at heart but tonight I bleed maroon and gold!!!!!! Way to go cadets

It stinks. The D3 season it too long already and dragging it out for another week for any reason is just wrong. Oh, and congrats to the Norwich women for their 1st national championship. Well done Cadettes. Nice to see a Vermonter as captain too! I was hoping that Middlebury could have made it an all Vermont final, but it was not to be this time around.

Agreed. How about Ann Arbor's infamous Yost Arena. Lots of hotel accomodations. Great facility and atmosphere.

What do you mean "infamous"?

Look at this this way, boys. If it weren't for the two weeks, we'd already be in the offseason.

Your training is almost complete, young Skywalker.........

Which can only hurt the west's chances of hosting. When the only venue to bwe available then has to postpone for a week, Lake Placid looks more and more like a viable permanent location.

What are you talking about? 'the only rink available has to postpone'? The NCAA committee postponed so as not to compete with an insanely popular tournament that would have gone on at the same time. Rink availability has nothing to do with it.

There are probably 5-6 rinks just in the twin cities that could host. Nevermind several others in the west region.

Two weeks makes for prolonged suspense. I can deal with that. Could be worse?

Edit: Could be like D1 football with no "real" national champion

The two week span gives you time to watch the D III Womens playoffs and the Norwich Women - Champs

Re: 2 weeks stinks

Let me tell you one place it does stink.....

ATO's for the seniors still playing. Next weekend 12 D-I teams drop out, while 4 D-III teams complete their seasons. For the seniors who have pro ambitions, the choice of an ECHL or AHL team will come down to a D-I or D-III player. Usually the D-IIIers will get the short shrift.

If the D-III season ended last weekend, the D-III's could get a jump over the D-I's.
