Does anyone miss CCHA?

I agree, I had no problem being in separate conferences. We would still be playing each other four times a year, unless the early season tournaments both returned. The conference affiliation just added another twist to the rivalry.

Disagree, being in separate conferences killed the rivalry from what it used to be. There was also never any way to do things right, either they played four games and the non conference schedule suffered or they only played twice and the rivalry suffered.

For me personally, in addition to the oCCHA teams I've enjoyed being in the same league as Tech. Hopefully they'll come over to the nCCHA.;)

Ha ha. The only nCCHA there is or will be, is the honorary one, the 6 former CCHA schools in nWCHA (Tech is former CCHA, 1981-1984). Same as the 6 Ivy league schools within ECAC.

Wasn't there someone on here saying they were trying to find the Mason Cup but nobody at BGSU they talked to knew where it was? I thought it was at Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.

Whose fans? If the fans embrace the new rivalries that are maturing, I'm sure they will survive. Was it nice when Tech played UMD, UND and the yellow rodents? Sure, but I think they are doing just fine rivalry-wise with teams like NMU and BGSU in their conference. Hell, UAH has become a tight series in recent meetings and could blossom into a bona-fide rivalry with a few more close games and another playoff series or two.

Who are the yellow rodents? CC? Gophs? Badgers?

The best thing that could happen to the rivalry is for UAA to win it for a year or two. Not that I want that to happen.

What killed it the last few years is both teams have stunk. We have just stunk less.

I’d trade Mankato and Bemidji for Miami and WMU. And perhaps pick up ASU and AF
 
Re: Does anyone miss CCHA?

If the goal is to keep geographical rivalries and minimize travel costs, I wouldn't mind seeing this arrangement:
NACHO = AF, ASU, CC, DEN, UAA, UAF
WCHA = BSU, LSSU, MSUM, MTU, NMU, SCSU, UMD, UND
CCHA = BGSU, FSU, MU, UAH, UNO, WMU

This scenario brings in AF and ASU but keeps conferences relatively small (6-8 teams) which opens up more dates to play OOC traditional rivals, tournaments or Eastern/B1G teams.

One possible change is to swap the UP schools with UNO.

Totally unacceptable! I sure hope you are not a true Tech fan. We are better than this!

Generally speaking, Tech fans are a pretty classy bunch. Even if you’re on the other side. Cheer, scream, yell and root against you during the game, then drink with you after!
 
Re: Does anyone miss CCHA?

Trash talking and trolling about hockey keep these places alive, but personal attacks are just lame because in the end we're all fans of what is realistically a niche sport.
