Will this be the last series Tremblay will miss this season? Also, for Potter?
College hockey has to have a talk with Canada about its scheduling for tournaments. They easily could schedule their stuff during season's lulls. Given the importance for them to play in international events, their requests should carry some weight. Interesting that US players aren't affected, or am I missing something? OSU and other teams in WCHA have key players from Scandinavian which may complicate the situation, but I can't believe the situation is immutable.
Lest I forget, the Badgers and other WCHA teams are not the only college team with players from Chechia and Slovakia. And next season, the Badgers have one from Germany. If something isn't done soon to come to an agreement on scheduling, the situation may create chaos for college hockey, and especially for the players, as the European teams currently not engaged in the international events become part of them also. College hockey currently has a lull over the yearend holidays that could be used for international play, and others could be added if necessary to eliminate conflicts. Heck, even now players frequently are playing during lulls in conference schedules. I don't think you need AI to figure out the options.
