Wilkes has proven it’s not an ordinary first year program I would think with their successes so far. They’ve got a good record for a reason. Sure their OOC isn’t all that strong but they’ve still had good results against traditionally good teams in the UCHC.
Maybe I’m understanding your question incorrectly but whatever team wins the UCHC playoffs gets the bid not the regular season champion.

Yeah, the UCHC in general has been dismal OOC (23-45-11).
Having said that, I agree that Wilkes is not to be overlooked in-conference. In fact, I could envision any of the top-6 having a legitimate shot at the AQ, but with those two who earn a 1st-round bye having a distinct leg-up.

It has been that way for years in all of the d3 conferences.

I know that but others apparently do not.
Which ones ?? I don't know of any.

Shabby is a D-1 guy. Colgate fan. Not too concerned with our tiny cottage industry, and why should he be? He just checks-in from time to time because he has a casual interest in UC hockey...
And he NEVER trolls. Perhaps you two children should take note of that.

Shabby, not sure how this new league works. Elmira and UC play to a 1-1 OT tie, and then play another 5 min. 3 on 3 OT. UC "wins" it but the league lists it as a tie with each team getting 1 point. Does anyone know why they would play the 3 on 3 if it doesn't mean anything, or is the league site wrong? If it is a tie, UC remains 1 point back of Elmira and 2 points back of Wilkes, with a game in hand. Hope somebody knows how this works because the league web site doesn't have anything I can find about a 3 on 3 OT.

Looks like the new extra OT's are no more than exhibitions. What a waste of time. Seriously stupid.
In any case, that was one of the more exciting games I've seen a long while. The 3-on-3 second OT was especially fun. I much prefer that to a shoot-out. Too bad it amounted to a wank-off for everyone involved.

From the standings page of the league website:
The league has to list it as a tie because it is a tie for NCAA purposes. For league purposes, it is an almost-win for UC. They would have gotten 3pts for a true win, but only get two for this one, conceding 1pt to EC. According to the UCHC website, both teams are now tied at 29 points for the season.

It's definitely different, but it's cool that they are making a conscious effort to try and break ties in standings, while providing excitement to the fans and players. I don't see a huge problem with it. It is a little confusing to "score a goal" and have it not count in your season totals but whatever.

Yeah, USCHO is only going to recognize the official NCAA points calculations (ie., the traditional W-L-T being worth 2,0 and 1 points). This is going to confuse a lot of fans who aren't aware of how the UCHC operates. (Did me, too.)

I believe the MIAC does exactly the same, probably where the UCHC got the idea from. I like it.
Also, I felt bad for the many unaware folks that left the Aud last night after the 5v5 OT during the break.
Correct league standings are on the UCHC and collegehockeystats sites.

Not a big fan of shootouts, but the 3x3 was a blast. I've only seen it once before, and that one was maybe 1:00 long and due to multiple concurrent penalties. It's been happening a fair amount in the UCHC this year, and I'm all for it as a "2nd OT" type of deal. It's almost inevitable that somebody will score, it seems; only one conference game has gone to a shootout, IIRC.
