2018-19 WCHA Season: 3 Bids And The Second Round?

Re: 2018-19 WCHA Season: 3 Bids And The Second Round?

BG knocks off WMU 6 - 2 on the road at Lawson Arena. SOG suggests that we were outplayed but the score says otherwise. Seriously, they got off very few clean shots and Bednard was stellar in net. A fun game to watch and worth the 14.95 that the NCHC charges to watch a single game.

I can't really argue with the idea that McLeod needed to go when this went down...and a lot of the WCHA leadership should have turned over with this change...that might have saved the old WCHA.

I didn't realise they (UND, DU) had as much of a problem with WCHA leadership. I thought it was more of a case that they wanted to get away from the small schools and small venues. But the article does mention two factions split on approaches to the budget . The next two parts will be interesting.

Oh yeah, I think a lot of wanting to change was getting new leadership between McLeod and Shep Sr. Shep is still in charge of WCHA refs...The fear of not being able to get anything they wanted because of the smaller school voting no on spending was the other big issue.

The part of the story that talked about the request by the big schools that McLeod not be renewed, then everyone leaves, only to come back and find out that the executive committee controlled by the small schools went ahead and extended McLeod was also interesting and not something of which I was aware.

Buckle up those helmets, boys! 5 WCHA-NCHC matchups tonight and tomorrow night. This is where we’ve been killed in non-con the last few years. A split weekend would be great.

Not sure how much of a difference in the end this made in the creation of the NCHC but it makes you wonder if the WCHA would've stayed unchanged if McLeod's contract wasn't renewed. I'm on the more cynical side and think even if McLeod was removed, the NCHC would've still came about eventually. It was a great read. Looking forward to parts 2 and 3.

Almost seems like it would have happened slower, and been more thought out.

At another point, the late Alaska Anchorage athletic director Steve Cobb cursed at the larger-budget schools and demanded to know whether they were leaving or not. He then proposed a $500,000 buyout for any school that leaves the WCHA.

The larger-budget schools, who felt they had long subsidized Alaska Anchorage, were irate.

The same larger-budget schools that forced UAA to pay thousands in travel costs each year? :rolleyes: JFC no wonder Cobb was cursing at them!

Congrats to Bemidji and Mankato for the big wins. Tech tried hard, but came up just short. Anytime BU loses is a good night.
