CCHA hockey sucks, and this year is no exception. I have watched both UM and MU play in Omaha this year, and have not been impressed. UM is alright because of their speed, but they were in a dog fight with UNO (not exactly a threatening opponent). Nothing special about MU. It is such a tiered league with average-to-decent teams beating up on s****y teams, which explains their records. However, Im not exactly sold on UND being the number 1 team... yet (we'll see how the DU series goes)
I hope Bemidji State gets a crack at one these CCHA elite teams and knocks them out early in the tournament.
