I rather it be a NCHC-B1G challenge then a NCHC-WCHA challenge. The competition would be better with the B1G then the WCHA.

Most likely UND is trying to play every one in the WCHA. So they schedule as many WCHA team they can a year. UND is just helping out the conference they helped start, I see nothing wrong with playing UAH.
Look like he didn't tell anyone he was going to leave until the day he left.

I expect Arizona State to make some visits to NCHC schools to get an idea of how to build their new hockey arena. I think they'll build an arena around the size of Baxter Arena. https://cronkitenews.azpbs.org/2015/12/03/as-program-outgrows-oceanside-asu-hockey-exploring-options-for-new-arena/
