Re: Game Thread for Feb 10-12.
It will still happen, but it will no longer be part of the ECAC-E/NEHC schedule. Probably the last time for a while that NU will play St. Mikes. In a way it is a shame, and I wish the NCAA would have made some accommodation for the DII teams that didn't want to play Division I schedules. The were definitely at a recruiting disadvantage relative to DIII - by agreement they didn't offer scholarships and they did not have an NCAA title to play for. Probably the team that was most hurt by this was St. Anselm, who had a historically decent program, but nowhere to go.
No disrespect...but I just get no excitement with the D3 teams playing D2 teams.....it is almost like exhibition....I guess we don't have to worry about it much longer.
