Maybe they're resurrecting the IHL but calling it the Intercollegiate Hockey League.

Doesn't tie them down geographically so it will be easy to add ASU.

geography (like math (see Big Ten)) doesn't really matter. Atlantic Hockey has a team in Colorado.
 
Re: New WCHA is dead

I want to be excited that the CCHA is potentially back, but I'm not because I was really hoping for an NCHC2... a clean start from the ground up with "like minded" schools who know what they want.

Maybe they still can under the established CCHA name, but there will be some baggage attached to reusing the name.

Someone else mentioned that there hasn't been any new names trademarked. I looked as well, and couldn't find anything either.

Unless we're becoming the Salsa Hockey, the official salsa of hockey, because our schools get dunked by the NaCHos...

But, the CCHA trademark is listed as active.

I'm trying REAL HARD not to be negative. I think the CCHA name would be baggage and a drag on whatever happens.

This is problem with college hockey, such a narrow , short-sighted view.
IHL = Intergalactic Hockey League

Let's not paint ourselves into a corner and assume all the teams are going to be collegiate or from this planet. What if Space Force Academy has D-I on their moon base campus? I heard rumors they are making the jump to D-I immediately and U of HI will be their travel "pair" for scheduling.

Will I skate faster in reduced gravity?

That's uncertain. During your glide, yes, you'd have less friction and would thus have a longer glide. During your extension, though, you weigh less and thus bite into the ice less.

The hell of it all is that the outdoor rink I have on the moon keeps sublimating.

Yes, but SFA will be much more accustomed to the ultra-low oxygen content of the moon's atmosphere. Advantage SFA.

I see them going undefeated at home their first several seasons until a technological type university comes up with a better oxygen harvesting system for their players. I also see SFA not winning a game on the road for an equally long time as they'll have issues with reduced muscle mass and trying to match the physical game of Earth based teams in the higher gravity environment.

I thought you were on the Moon Rink program team? That problem has already been solved. Here we see the SFA rink being tested at NASA back in 2001.
