You'd think so now with the formation of the B1G and NCHC. Air Force would be competitive right away and most likely win the conference every year. Maybe one day they will be in the WCHA.
St. Louis' AHL team will be the team in San Antonio. Colorado is some what rumored to be having their AHL team in Loveland. Kansas City could be a place for their AHL team along with Omaha.
I'll go with most likely not going to happen. NCHC couldn't get BU or BC to even think about leaving Hockey East. BU isn't leaving Hockey East for a hypothetical Patriot League hockey conference. Just way too much moving parts and hope that someone adds D1 hockey.
The poster also said the Ivies would start their own conference. The Ivies could have done that when the Hockey East split happened.
I feel that these new jerseys are a big waste of money, should have just kept the old ones or just change the patches on the old ones to these. I just hope someone is coming up with a better logo then the on the UND paid all that money for.
I remember reading that, thought I posted it, but I guess not. I took it as they could benefit from the study not that they are part of the study.
I am surprised there hasn't been more on the study and who's going to be part of the study.
Kohl Center is going with a score board like the one at Madison Square Garden (or at least similar to it). So one of similar scale of Amalie Arena or the Xcel Energy Center could work. The hight of the score board at Amalie Arena looks to be close to about the same as the whole score/video board in the Ralph. Most of these score boards in the NHL have small screens underneath for the rows closer the the ice to see replays in the board. The ice projection system costs at least $1 million.
I'm sure the school could repurpose the score/video board in the Olympic arena or maybe the Betty.
It is time to move on with the whole nickname issue, nobody won and we all lost.
With Wisconsin getting a new score/video board I think its time for the Ralph to get a NHL style score/video board and an on-ice projection system. It's time to be ahead of the rest of the NCAA.
It can still be done today. Michigan Tech went to Europe about 5 years ago to play teams in Europe, not 100% sure if they played pro teams. An NCAA team can only play out of the country once every 4 years (doesn't include two NCAA teams playing each other in Canada).
