I only know that Arizona State will come to Alaska for their Kendall tourney, in October.

Re: 2015 WCHA Offseason
Are you to be considered a fan too? Need more information...
First order of business, I nominate Aparch to handle the recount of WCHA season points. Please have MSU ship the MacNaughton to:
Michigan Technological University
Attention: Mel Pearson and Men's Ice Hockey Team
1400 Townsend Drive
Houghton, MI, 49931-1295
Tim - Shhhhhh, you're wrecking the fun.
Now for round two:
As I was going to the NCAA hockey championships, I met John Buccigross who was traveling with seven hockey coaches, each of the hockey coaches had seven players, and each of the players had seven fans and each of the fans had seven kids. Bucci, coaches, players, fans and kids... how many were going to the NCAA hockey championships?
Hint - The answer does not result in MTU winning the WCHA.

The 2000-01 season, and that needed us hosting the CHA Tournament.
We will gladly take their money.
I just hope (and expect) that the games will be more competitive since the last visit to Grand Forks in 1989.

Re: 2015 WCHA Offseason
That's certainly why the Alaska exemption was put into place, so you could get some more home revenue. Although, I do notice you could schedule one more series. Perhaps a non-ivy or Atlantic would consider adding in that free week in October? Maybe an exhibition (although not being close to Canada might make that tough)?

Re: 2015 WCHA Offseason
After the last two seasons, Mike Corbett's said that he doesn't want to play 36 games unless there's a compelling reason to do so. He's convinced that one of the reasons that Tech RUTS'd us last year is because the boys were exhausted after playing U-18. Could we schedule a tenth home date? Perhaps, but a big reason that we didn't get many NC dates in the CHA days is because people want lots of money to travel here.

Take the bye week instead. 36 games is enough. Players need an off week in November and February to get healthy

yes. 36 is enough.
after this year's meh second half (with no off weeks after Xmas), surprised that BG is playing 38 next season.

Re: 2015 WCHA Offseason
If the coach has mentioned that, then that's a fair assessment. It's disappointing to see that when we usually end up with Atlantic teams not being able to get a full schedule, but given the WCHA's setup, especially with some teams possibly having the ability to play 40 games, it's understandable.

Best wishes always to Mike and the UAH program for continued growth. I'm looking forward to visiting the first weekend of December!

Re: 2015 WCHA Offseason
I had a great time at UAH last season (how many rinks have table service on the glass???) however I'm going to pick another new rink(s) this year for road trips as I still have several in the conference I have not visited.
The four potential targets in preference order would be 1A BGSU, 1B BSU, 2 FSU, 3 UAF if I really feel adventurous. UAF is lower on the list only because I did UAA last season and would rather do the UAA/UAF trip on back-to-back weekends if Tech can make that happen again down the road. FSU is just too early in the season. So it really comes down to a trip to see BGSU hockey and the Crease Creatures or BSU hockey and the in-laws in MN. Both could be equally crazy weekends...

Re: 2015 WCHA Offseason
Playing some of the best hockey players that age, yeah ... did you see our upperclassmen last year?
[Actually, no needed.]
And FlagDUDE08, yeah, I know how it is to not get a full schedule. The CHA was a 20-game conference, and getting more than two teams to come to Huntsville was an impossibility. We'd love to have some AH schools come, but those have to be 1-for-1 deals, right? Unless we take the Alaska exemption to make it worthwhile, we'd rather go to NoDak for a pay-date than back to the Dwyer. Insular conference scheduling really hurts D-I hockey, but the only "fix" for that is going to be NCAA control, which will happen on the 32nd of Neveruary. It just stinks.

Re: 2015 WCHA Offseason
There's no such thing as "taking the Alaska exemption"; you get it whether you play your fully allotted games or not. Atlantic hardly ever gets 1-for-1 deals; they usually take what they get. I'm trying to think if AIC has had a home NC game recently...

Re: 2015 WCHA Offseason
I'm aware of the rule, thanks. UAH played twice in Alaska in 2013-14 and played 38 games, exempting all four games. We lost 35.

BG is Bleacher Creatures. Wisco is Crease Creatures.
Speaking of the Bleacher Creatures, we're planning some trips as well. We'll go to Columbus, Kalamazoo, and Oxford for sure, with possible trips to the Soo over winter break and Huntsville over spring break.
