2012-2013 schedules

I didn't think Simon Frasier had a hockey team. So out of curiosity I checked their site and the show no varsity hockey team. Is it a new start up or a club team? And further complete speculation, since Simon Frasier switched to the NCAA this year, if it were a varsity team would it still count toward the exemption?

Simon Fraser played a couple of exhibitions last year so they certainly had a team. However, given this is under an international tour, I believe it still counts.

The reason I asked is because you already have the GLI, 2 @ the Gophers, and 2 w/ Penn State. If you don't get the Alaska exemption, that's a full NC schedule.

Someone would need to explain last year to me then ... unless the Alaska exemption applies to "off" years as well. We had the opening weekend BC & Air Force, two @ home vs. Bobby Morris, two @ home vs. Minnesota and the GLI. That's 8.

The Alaska exemption only applies if you play against an Alaska team in Alaska.

However, IIRC, you were in the IceBreaker tournament last year. That is an exempt tournament, meaning neither of those two games count against your 34.

The Icebreaker is exempt. Those 2 games didnt count.

This is only listing the home games so no need to mention 1st round of the playoffs. :D

This time of year, we have just as good a shot as anyone else. Plus, BSU only lost two key cogs (Bakala and Hunt) to the machine that only finished three points behind you for home ice. I really think BSU will do okay next year, but it is going to be a multi-team battle for the final two or three home ice spots.

Mystery solved.

We had 6 NC's on the schedule last season, no Alaska trip.
We have 8 NC's tentatively planned this season with an Alaska trip. The answer, then, to the original question is Yes - we have the exemption this time 'round.

Good to know.

Although you probably don't have dates yet, would you be able to find out who is in your cluster this year? I already have "big brother" as one of them, do you know the other three?
 
Re: 2012-2013 schedules

At this point, I'd say it's a safe assumption, using the law of disjunctive inference (for those that don't understand, math), that Alaska will play at Denver on March 8th-9th, as it's the only logical open weekend in common, and everyone else is already playing then.

There are a few too many open weekends to fill in the rest.

I don't see anything officially out yet, but I don't believe we really operate under clusters anymore since we went to 11 teams. The only thing I do know is that "traditional rivals" play 4 league-counted games. The interesting thing is the two home-and-homes in our tentative schedule for the upcoming season. The league went away from those too.

Perhaps I should rephrase. Given your league has 28 conference games and 10 league opponents, that means you'd have to play 4 games against 4 teams, and 2 games against the other 6. We know one of those 4 teams where you'll be playing 4 games, do you know the other three?

Thanks for clarifying. One of our bloggers has us playing 4 vs. Bowling Green. I don't have the 2 others, although I am going to assume they come from the following 4 teams: Notre Dame, Western Michigan, Ferris State and Miami.
 
Re: 2012-2013 schedules

I've seen a few Penn State mentions... Anyone have an idea of what their schedule will look like?
 
Re: 2012-2013 schedules

I won't put it on the schedule since this is just a random thought, but given the number of expected NC games remaining, I wonder if Denver / BU will be a two-game series, with one of the two being the Hall of Fame game?
