The College Hockey Championship Belt Part IV

Re: The College Hockey Championship Belt Part IV

I say keep the 3x3 and do away with the shoots. (even though Troy Terry is a DU Pioneer):D
I meant shootouts, but having a shooting contest would work too. All the teams would need to get a few Germans or Norwegians though. :D

Re: The College Hockey Championship Belt Part IV

I am becoming a UML fan for tomorrow. I don't want Notre Dame to leave the league with the HEA Belt. That would mean starting new HEA belts whatever day the first games between HEA teams is played and also following the old belt which ND would have until it gets unified.

I wonder, now that Notre Dame is indeed taking the belt with them, if HEA teams will be willing to play Notre Dame. It wouldn't surprise me if Notre Dame doesn't get any HEA games for the next year or two. Eventually they will, but it might be a while.

That was my thought also. We'll see what happens.

They'd probably get the holy war with Boston College...

I'd be surprised if any HEA teams get on the schedule in the next two years. HEA just announced they are adding two conference games to the schedule, so HEA teams might already have to cancel an existing commitment. I don't know if B1G has announced their scheduling format, but I assume it would be more than the 22 games HEA played, so ND likely will not have many open spots either.
 
Re: The College Hockey Championship Belt Part IV

IIRC the B1G will simply add the 4 additional games with Notre Dame's addition so it'd be 24 conference games, 2 home/2 away with everyone.

That's at least what I assumed, so I placed it as such in the schedules sheet. I know the EZAC isn't changing, and I assume the other three conferences/associations are not. I was a little surprised to find HEA was going IMBA with 24 games instead of 20, but given the number of intra-conference "non-league" games they played when they had 20, it makes sense in retrospect.

Of course they could still meet a HEA in the NCAA tourney next year.
