Why can’t the CHA have a tournament like the WCHA or Hockey East, for a 3 game series? Then you will get the best team to represent the CHA? Regional semi-finals start on March 11? What goes on next weekend?
Didn't Raygan Kirk start most of those games for RMU versus PSU last season? Confidence is so key for goalies, and it is hard to have that confidence if you're not getting the chance to play.
Or only 4 get in, for a 3 game series, then championship for a 3 game series. If you are not in top 4 of CHA, you probably shouldn’t be involved anyway.
Speaking of goalies, does the name "Chantal Burke" ring a bell?
Funny you ask: Talk about waiting and waiting for a chance and now it is twice that she probably takes the job and runs with it. I see she has popped up on Minn State and finally got to play and registered two shutouts. It's to bad it took so long to give her a chance.
Your final is Saturday, but the NCAA Tournament first round can start as early as 3/10, so that's less than two weeks between games.I also don't like that the CHA winner will have to sit for three weeks waiting for the national tournament...ugh.

Nothing wrong with looking forward to a FF on your home ice!Derppp...I skipped right over regionals and looked at the Frozen Four schedule.
My understanding of the Covid year is that it is like it never happened for anyone. If you played, didn't play, played a little, were enrolled somewhere, your five-year clock was running or wasn't -- none of it matters to the NCAA. Other groups, like the Ivies or a specific school, might treat the Covid year more restrictively, I don't know.I think someone else would have to double check this reasoning ..... Under normal circumstances, you have 5 yrs to complete your eligibility once you start your eligibility. Burke did not play last year, yet still gets the covid bonus. She plays under 5 games she gets a redshirt. Then, yes she can play next year and maybe even the next, but I'm not sure on the next.

For Burke specifically, the Covid year doesn't count against her in any way, but she doesn't also get any form of bonus from it (i.e., she doesn't get one year for it being Covid and another year for not playing in the first place.) However many seasons of eligibility that she had remaining at the end of the 2019-20 season should be the number of years of eligibility she had left at the start of this season, which will now decrease by one with her playing in the second half of this season. I don't know if she was wrapping up her junior season then, or if she had applied for a medical-redshirt season along the way.
Mankato has five goalies on their roster,
My goodness! Are they also the team that somehow ended up playing a tennis player as their goalie for a game?
I had to look that up, but yup...in November, against #2 Ohio State, the Mankato tennis player was the emergency starting goalie. The article says they had three goalies, all out with injuries, so I wonder where Chantal Burke was in November. Anyway, here's an article about it:
