Seriously, there's no need for such formality with the in-state games. I'm pretty sure they just throw darts at the calendar to figure this stuff out anyway. Don't forget that HEA is basically "a solitary man with a messy apartment which may or may not contain a chicken."

“We’re $200,000 beyond our budget now and we’re going to Notre Dame for two [league] games next season and that will cost us $50,000. So we’re going to have to raise the funds for it,” said Whitehead.

I really hope that it is only Norter Dame that has the "two away this season and two at home" the next season scenario.... not a fan that we will even have it for them

And it will cost $50,000 to take the team to Notre Dame? It it me or does that seem high? (I have not done the quick math).

Re: 2013-14 Hockey East scheduling
How many people travel total including players, coaches, managers etc? 25 players, 5 coaches plus at most 10 others (trainers, equipment man etc) does that sound right? So 40?
Bunk 2 to a room at the hotel? So 20 rooms x 3 nights = 60 room nights at the Hampton Inn = $6000?
Flights? $500 x 40 (if we are talking commercial?) = $20,000 (no idea what a charter would cost)
Plus meals, bus rental to and from airport/hotel/game etc...
You get to $50,000 pretty quick actually.

That's hilarious... they can't get anybody to play at Maine? They can only get ECAC and AHA in general? Har.

I would think that for this year at least, their record is not helping... big teams are going to want to play a likely TUC.

Re: 2013-14 Hockey East scheduling
Good point. If you assume ND is 2 home / 2 away alternating years and every other team 1 home / 1 away every year... that would be and 11 away / 9 home one year then 9 away / 11 home the next.
Must be another team that is going to do the 2 home / 2 away alternating year schedule.
That sucks

Re: 2013-14 Hockey East scheduling
edit: Wait. No, it wouldn't. It would balance it for everybody. The question is the following year with the addition of UConn.
Which would unbalance all the other schedules in HE.

Re: 2013-14 Hockey East scheduling
Thinking more about it....
If ND, Maine and UVM do all 2's either home or away next season... they could each have 10 home / 10 away every season...
But the other schools would have either 11 home / 9 away or 9 home / 11 away....
So that does not seem like it would be fair...
Edit: Although as it is set up now teams have a non balance between home / away.... So prob not a big deal.

Re: 2013-14 Hockey East scheduling
not really... there are 4-two sets (4H/4A) and 6 splits (6H/6A). UVM, ND, UME are the two-sets for everybody... and then the rest get a random with somebody else in league... preferably a team that isn't a direct rival.
Say... BC/UMass, UML-BU, NU-PC, and MC-UNH.
edit: note that these games need not be scheduled consecutively

Re: 2013-14 Hockey East scheduling
Until UConn arrives. Then I don't think it is possible without playing everybody home and home, which would be stupid with ND. Flying there for one game is cost-prohibitive.
No. If UVM, ND, and ME are full weekends that would be unbalanced. If ME and ND play full weekends, they would have 5 home weekends, and 5 away. Everybody else would have 1 home weekend and 1 away weekend, and split home-and-homes with the remaining 8 teams. Balanced schedule.
