Re: November 1 start date????
And, if they do, I'm thinking it will just be the D3 championship at the Frozen Four site. We'll see national semifinals on campus sites. They won't pay to fly four teams somewhere, and they are just trying to fill the Friday night slot.

Working backwards
April 11, 2014 NCAA D-III Final - Philadelphia
April 5, 2014 NCAA D-III semifinals - campus sites
March 31 NCAA D-III quarterfinals - campus sites
March 24 NCAA D-III opening round - campus sites
Skewing the season 2 weeks puts the conference tournaments around 3/17/14, so we ASSUME that <strike>Plattsburgh</strike> the NCAA will go for a 4 week tournament.

Why? CB$ used to televise the D-II and D-III lax championships on CB$$N, but dropped them. They are now on NCAA.com just like D-III hockey is now. I see no change in the arrangement.

Edit: OMG -- D-III hoops is doing the same thing!!! http://www.ncaa.org/wps/wcm/connect...veloped+for+2013+DIII+mens+basketball+tourney (Note: it is a one-off to celebrate the 75th NCAA Hoops anniversary. But D-II / III would not play in the Georgia Dome but rather in the home of the ex Atlanta Thrashers.)
Hey, I got the tweet late last night! What ticks me off is that they're using Reason X when in reality "they" want to have D-III play in the D-I sandbox.

Re: November 1 start date????
I heard about the D-III hoops going to the D-I site at the Co-SIDA convention. There was no talk of hockey there though.
On the women's side they are exploring a pre-determined site for the first time for Division III for the 2013 championship. Rumors have it looking like Minnesota coupled with the D1 women's FF.

If the NCAA walks, then it will be the second time that ORDA has been screwed over by collegiate ice hockey. The first time was when the ECAC left LP for Albany.
Doesn't the NCAA have a contract with ORDA for the 2013 Lake Placid venue??

Yes the D3 Men's FF is in Lake Placid for 2013. That's all that's been signed so far that I know of.
The women are looking for a predetermined site. They have no such agreement with Lake Placid that I know of. Personally I'd love to see them together.

Re: November 1 start date????
You think we'd get just 6 days to arrange travel cross country? D1 has a weekend off. Yes, I realize otherwise it would be Sunday to a Thursday for D1, so that's more compressed, but not by much. Maybe the same would happen in D3...

Given the way the NCAA runs things? Yeah, I believe it.

Yes. This change doesn't effect that, since 2013 is this coming March. And that's the last year of the current contract.

I'm sure this will only be for the finals, just like they do in lacrosse.

Will this change the first day teams can "officially" practice? When is the first day of practice anyway?

Re: November 1 start date????
Which the NESCAC almost certainly will approve of. I am not very certain they will approve the change to the ending date. It would be terrible if that causes them to re-think their participation in the national tournament.
ps. That was not meant to be critical of the NESCAC as a group, or any individual team.

Re: November 1 start date????
I am guessing that if the NESCAC does not participate in the NCAA tournament they could switch it back to Lake Placid or on campus. Or is this going to happen with or without the approval of all Conferences?
Based on NESCAC and ECAC East success a Nov 1 start date would not be that bad. Dragging the championship out until April that could get old.
Why not add 1 game or a scrimmage to fill up some of the down time with games!
