St. Norbert General

Assuming Whitelaw has an agreement in place for SNC to come to central NY the following year (even if just for the NYE tourney), I'm gonna love this experience to GB. For 2 nights in GB, would the regulars recommend a solid drinkery/foodie palace for a WNYer? I'll happily throw dice and bull sh*t with any good, good faith suggestions,,,
Snc coming back following season for 2 at Oswego. It’s NOT part of Pathfinder Bank tourney though.
 
How is the NCHA looking overall? where does St-Norbert stack up?
Tough to say. Plenty of turnover for Aurora and especially Adrian. Dubuque have gotten a good number of upper-end D3 commitments. Aurora have lost Santalucia, Schmuck a year early, Brockman, and Sedlacek. Adrian have lost Mollica, Somers, Suede, Orpana, and Amsbaugh. Trine has done nothing to defy the #4 spot in the conference, one way or the other. Overall, these are my predictions for rankings by point amount

1. Adrian
2. St. Norbert
3. Aurora
4. Trine
5. Concordia
6. MSOE
7. Dubuque
8. Lake Forest
9. Marian
10. Lawrence

Honestly, I can see 5-10 being a complete free-for-all. Plenty of unanswered questions surrounding recruiting, obviously. This season, like the last few for the NCHA, will have plenty of parity. Part of the beauty of D3.

Barring any major changes, it seems like both your 1-4 group and 5-10 group are safe bets. But it seems like anyone's guess what the order in each group will be.
 
Tough loss. Their fore-check was at times suffocating, and our defense was... suspect at moments. Out shot them by quite a bit too. Whatever. It's one game and I had a feeling this series would be split anyways
 
The new rink is great! I love the new seating. There are definitely some things I miss from Rink 1 (like a dedicated scoreboard instead of a video screen), but all things I will come to appreciate over time.

As for the game, it seemed like a few costly turnovers were the main difference. It felt a lot like the track meet with UNE last March.
 
Rough opening night for the NCHA. Aurora, Adrian, and St Norbert all lost. Only Dubuque and Lake Forest picked up non conference wins.
