If they want to reinstate the women's hockey program then there should be a ticket drive, like the NHL has made expansion teams do, for 5,000 ticket. They can get that many people to want tickets then reinstate the program.
Not good in Ottawa.

Surprise surprise, they saw what Shannon Miller got and thought why not. I’ll take a guess they will bring up LIU-Brooklyn adding women’s hockey and use it to why UND needs to add hockey.
This is the type of thing that will keep other colleges/university’s from adding women’s hockey, besides the $2 million it’s going to lose.
Mankato wants in, but I wouldn't be surprised to see BGSU try to move to the NCHC.
There could be the possibility of a school like UNLV adding hockey and wanting into the NCHC with ASU.
WCHA would have taken them already but ASU had to pay for other teams travel costs.
I’ll say that was a main issue. I never bought the ASU would weaken the NCHC strength of schedule. ASU would get the players to get better, CC has shown sign of improvement so has Western Michigan and Miami has had its ups and downs.
