Says the clueless one who thinks the decision was because of other sports that are in a different conference. Is ok it's evident that your a geneseo guy. No shame in being the 4th best team of a conference.

Geneseo won 5 of the last 8 conference championships before they left SUNYAC and are 8-2 in their last 10 against Oswego. I’m not sure why you think they “ran away” from anything.
They joined empire 8 for all sports, UCHC is essentially the empire 8 hockey conference. SUNYAC was never going to keep a schools hockey team after the rest of the sports left. It’s like the NEWL on the women’s side, SUNYAC women’s hockey except for the name
As has been said before if Geneseo and Brockport don’t leave SUNYAC, SUNYAC doesn’t even consider adding Hobart and Skidmore. Hobart probably ends up back in UCHC assuming the NEHC still folds.

Not only is there a lack of cross-region games, but 4 out Aurora's 7 "non-conference" games are against NCHA teams. Hamline and Augsburg are the only two non-NCHA teams on Aurora's schedule. Adrian has a similar problem, with Utica and Hiram being the only non-NCHA teams on their schedule.
Hot take: all in-season tournaments should be mandatory to have 2 east teams, 2 west teams for this reason. (I know it will never happen)

Aurora probably expected to play UWSP in the Dubuque tournament (which would have at least been a non-conference opponent), but upsets happen.
No, they did not. And unfortunately you do not have a clue what you’re talking about. These decisions weren’t made with the hockey team at the forefront of their thought process.

This guy is actually dumber than FIshman (who granted, does know hockey). I didn't think that was possible.

Yes, but by the laws of set logic, being in Mass also puts Curry in New England, so the Conference of New England is where they stay.Curry’s in Mass they can just join the MASCAC
Just teasing, are you saying that move would be a solution to separate Curry from other CNE powers: Endicott and UNE, who have all made NCAA at-large or league champion appearances over the past few years?
By the way, there may be a power shift happening in the CNE with Suffolk on the rise as they outshot Curry and had 2 would be goals whistled dead (made it across the goal line but out of referee's sight) in what could have been a 4-4 tie going into the game's final minutes....that and beating Endicott on the road 4-1 and tying them the next night at home (lost in shoot out). I believe Suffolk outshot them all in these 3 games. The Ram's next litmus test is in early January when they play a home and home against UNE. The jury is out but the tide may be turning a little in the nationally competitive CNE.

Is there an online link that shows the NPI formula to go with this cool link?

Was mainly poking fun at the suggestion that low lying conferences (MASCAC, MAC, etc) should be excluded from an AQ bid. That and if a school like Curry ends up missing out on a CNE AQ and an at-large bid, they can just jump ship to the easiest conference imaginableYes, but by the laws of set logic, being in Mass also puts Curry in New England, so the Conference of New England is where they stay.

(but seriously Curry please don't do that).And it'd be cool to see a changing of the guard in the CNE. At the very least, the top 3 have consistently been some of the most competitive teams in recent years for D3 and keep things interesting to watch. But if a team like Suffolk can make some waves, or if a former contender like Wentworth can make a comeback, it'd be a fun shakeup.
