Better yet, they learned it during the final set on match point with a recruit in the stands

I think it was $2 million

I agree, a retirement gift

Other schools fans are very upset with UND right now, and how could they do this. A counter point was made to a SCSU fan, did you go to watch them play, oh no, well why does it bother you.

Utah needs a goalie

Fixing the easier stuff should be the first priority, since you’ll never get teams to agree on the tournament format. Even Rand didn’t say he was for home sites during the Frozen Four on game notes. The Providence’s, Quinnipiac’s, and Boston schools know they have a good chance to be out East in the current set up, so why would they want a change it to home sites. Promote the game since it’s not being remotely done out side of the College Hockey Inc ad “I played college hockey”. The NCHC didn’t stop talking about their tournament during games last season (or I remember them talking about it). The committee doesn’t need the other conferences to tell them to do that. Another one is why not wait until a week before the regionals to put tickets on sale. So you don’t get people buying the tickets months in advance thinking their team will be at one regional when they are at a different regional and to prevent resellers from jacking the prices up.

The all AQ’s with top two at large is the same as top 8/bottom 8

The retirement home sent to hospice care lol

Since its the offseason and not much going on for the most part. With the coaches meeting talking about regionals again wanting a change had me thinking about every option I've heard brought up so far. The argument is other NCAA tournaments are at home sites, true but where else would they play. Baseball isn't going to be played at MLB or iMLB stadiums (could use spring training facilities I guess), Softball only has on campus stadium, same with lacrosse, soccer (could use MLS stadiums), Football (FBS) could use NFL stadiums for the CFP, but at least they have a playoff. Now Basketball, March Madness, the biggest tournament and looks to be expanding again has the following rules for men's and women's (doesn't look like women's follows them). I'd hate hockey to have those rules. The biggest problems are hockey is competing with basketball and the afternoon games on Thursday and Friday don't help attendance. Even basketball as empty arenas for games. The ideas I've heard for what to do for the regionals. Now there are rules that the NCAA has NHL arenas for the Frozen Four only, need the hotels and public transportation to handle it, lockers for 4 teams, and 5000-seat capacity. For most of the ideas these would have to change, especially the 5000-seat capacity. Top 4 host: I know that once all the top 4 teams are in the East or West the complaining from all side will happen. You also have arenas like Yost that don't have the lockers for the teams. Top 8 host the bottom 8: This would only work with a best of 3 series but be prepared for the broadcast to be college students and radio guys calling games. This might get Alex and the best tv guys calling games, because ESPN has only Sean Ritchlin that is good at the NCAA tournament. This way would also have everyone playing Friday and Saturday with a Sunday, if necessary, game. If you are for "grow the game" and "games need to be on ESPN/ABC", these would be on ESPN+ with a couple on TV at most. Because the teams would want to play at 6 or 7 local time. This would also be more expensive for teams with travel, need to keep teams not lose more because for financial reasons. 6 AQs and top 2 at large host: This is just dumb and it's dumb because why would an AHA team host when they are always below 16. This is same as top 8/bottom 8. West bids home sites/hybrid: This might be the one that everyone would agree on. East has their neutral sites and the West and use their arenas. Win-win-win everyone gets what they want. The NCHC, CCHA, and B1G need to get together and agree to only their arenas not USHL or AHL arenas, but Penn State would screw this up with Allentown. Super Regionals: I just can't see NHL letting the NCAA use 3 buildings for 3 to 4 weeks (need to get this ice ready at least a week before the games). The WJC idea: This was posted on here 1 city two arenas all the teams. Not sure this would work all that well and be limited to specific cities, Tampa being popular wouldn't have the tournament with this format. I'm for AHA can't host, A team has to make the NCAAs in the last 5 years to host, if a site can't average 15k scanned through 3 games you can't host, and if you want to host at your home arena bid the arena and stop crying about it. Game times, ticket prices, and last minute knowing where you will play to start the tournament all affect the attendance. There is no perfect solution to this. NCAA, NHL, College Hockey Inc. needs to advertise the NCAA tournament at the site location, during NHL games from December until the Frozen Four. The worst thing the NCAA does is sabotages themselves but not promoting this tournament. People in Albany had no idea the tournament was going on because it wasn't advertised. NCAA Leaders Discuss the State, and Future, of College Hockey : College Hockey News The State of the Game press conference the NCAA hockey committee chair is looking at Frozen Fours where they can grow the game. They did like Vegas and what to bring it back there. Future sites I can see being Seattle, Salt Lake City (once the Delta Center is finished), Raleigh, Sunshine (Panthers), San Jose (after the renovation), and Dallas getting Frozen Fours at some point. This would be a good way to grow the game.

From the State of the Game press conference: On Arizona:

I see they have a guy who scored 100 points at Shattuck Saint-Mary's

Ok, now CC can win two 🤣 CC needs to be more competitive for the other 4 Cool to see the Robson’s have a connection to both CC and ASU

U18s: 2 goal on 45 shots and gave up 5 on 16 shots.

And Canada riots

That U18 team is going to be memorable in a bad way, oh boy.
