My very non-scientific prediction of how the NCHC will finish.
 
	1. Western Michigan: They are 1st until they get knocked off the top.
 
	2. Denver: David Carle always gets the most out of his players.
 
	3. Arizona State: I think goaltending is their weakness 
 
	4. North Dakota: I want to see that this staff is different in how they approach the games. They need to finish off their opponents when up in the 3rd instead of the “prevent defense” of the last few years.
 
	5. CC: They have a lot of Freshman and I’ve seen teams with a big Freshman class do well
 
	6. Omaha: Not sold on the USports players 
 
	7. Duluth: They have one line and can the goalie stay healthy the whole year. They have the former Miami backup/starter as the backup
 
	8. Miami: They overhauled the entire team this year expect them to win at least 1 conference game 😉
 
	9. St. Cloud: I don’t see them better than they were when they lost Posch. They were bad last year, just lucky that Miami was worse. Their starter looks to be former Miami starter/backup.
 
	The top 4 looks to be Western Michigan, Denver, Arizona State, and North Dakota.  
	 
 
	Hobey and #1 pick will come from UND this year 😁
