Re: The College Hockey Championship Belt Part IV

What is the record for concurrently held belts? What is the theoretical maximum?

I haven't paid attention, so I don't know the most anyone has had at a time, but I suspect it is at least four. Cornell clearly could have at most 4 of the current Belts, 5 counting the Red and White Belt. Any of the Massachusetts D-II schools (AIC, Bentley, Merrimack) could have 6 of the current Belts. I suppose that if a school switched leagues, that could be raised, e.g. if Bentley went to the HEA while holding all 6 that it currently could have.

Note that there is already a Big Ten Shootout Belt, so a new one is not created on Saturday.
 
Re: The College Hockey Championship Belt Part IV

Why isn’t there an alternate created?

Minnesota defeated Michigan in a shootout on 11/11/17 and got a B1G alternate belt. So if you believe that the Belt should be transferred with shootouts victories then that is the B1G Belt for as long as the two Belts are not unified. It makes no sense to me to create multiple shootout B1G Belts at the same time. If anyone can explain it better or disagrees, please post.

The Red and White Belt also transferred last night.

Either of the other two "tracked belts" change?

Re: The College Hockey Championship Belt Part IV

Wow. That's crazy.

Out of curiosity, what other current programs have never held the Belt?

I have that information but I can't find the file at the moment. I will look for it tomorrow. It can also be figured out from the first few files on this thread.

It's too bad that Army plays a bunch of non-conference games in December, otherwise we might be able to cross several of those teams off the list. Here's to the Black Knights going on a 5+ game winning streak. :p:D:D
