I think the CCHA conference makes the most sense for them because they are the ones that are the closest to them. It's why UNO left the CCHA, they're closer out to the WCHA teams. Not saying I hate on the CCHA people for not allowing UAH into the CCHA, cause I understand where they come from.
And I don't think the UAH should be underestimated. When I heard that we were playing them I immediately looked at their schedule and results. And of course, while their conference only has four teams their results don't really say much. However, they never were really demolished by any team throughout the entire season, besides maybe one or two 6-2 wins by Bemidji over them. Most of their games were 2-1, 3-2 kind of games. They were able to get wins over WMU (I belive) and Notre Dame, and while that isn't saying much especially with both of those teams this year. I don't think UAH should be seen as a team that will absolutely get embarassed. Of course they could, maybe, but 100% will, def. not.
