    2015-2016 College Hockey (non UND Hockey)

    in Men's Hockey

    Posted

    Well, CC has found yet another way to lose-this time, however, through no fault of their own. 40 seconds to play in the 3rd period and a 3-3 tie game, the CC forward with the puck gets hauled down as he's leaving the zone right in front of the ref, AF picks up the loose puck, skates in on a two-on-one and passes it over to a wide open man for a one-timer for the GWG. CC got a bench minor after the goal to boot (probably for arguing with the officials or something).

    This loss more than any of the blow out losses was a a huge kick in the berries. CC deserved a better fate, they played hard and well. Nothin like a little home cookin from Atlantic Hockey officials.

    Colorado College might want to take a big giant check up to Denver.

    If this proposal passes, I wonder how it would effect hockey player graduation rates.  I don't think schools will actually stop bringing in 21-year-old freshman.  That means that freshman only gets to play 3 years of college hockey.  Does said player stick around for their senior year of college and pay their own way to get a degree?  Doubtful.

    I think the bigger question is, if this proposal gets passed, what else will the B1G do to stack the deck in their favor.

    Here's more.

    Mike McMahon ‏@MikeMcMahonCHN Nov 25

    Checked w/ NCAA rep. The only hockey conference w/ voting power on the council is the B10. The other 5 hockey-only conferences have no vote

    Mike McMahon ‏@MikeMcMahonCHN Nov 25

    Oh, and the Big 10 vote counts FOUR times, because they are an autonomy conference.

    Mike McMahon ‏@MikeMcMahonCHN Nov 25

    About 1/3 of college hockey teams have no representation on NCAA council voting on B10 legislation.

    Mike McMahon ‏@MikeMcMahonCHN Nov 25

    So, a vote that could have an adverse effect on mostly smaller programs will be conducted without representation from most smaller programs.

    Mike McMahon ‏@MikeMcMahonCHN Nov 25

    And it means the ACC, SEC, Big12, Pac12, they could all have a say on this Big 10 hockey legislation.

    Mike McMahon ‏@MikeMcMahonCHN Nov 25

    So BC could ask the ACC to vote a certain way, for example, but it's up to the ACC rep on that council to actually vote for the entire conf

    The more I learn, the more I'm convinced that if the big schools are aligned in ideology, they'll be able to do whatever the hell they want.

    Jashvina Shah ‏@icehockeystick Nov 25

    Or maybe the Big Ten did this just to prove a point that they can and will do whatever they want...

    Jashvina Shah ‏@icehockeystick Nov 25

    So basically a conference that cares not at all about hockey (the Big 10) could ruin college hockey. Fantastic

    Jashvina Shah ‏@icehockeystick Nov 25

    I'm more worried about the precedent this is setting than the actual rule that was proposed.

    Jashvina Shah ‏@icehockeystick Nov 25

    I feel like the Big Ten is a child who's toy broke. He's unhappy so he takes away everyone else's toy so no one else can be happy too

    Jashvina Shah ‏@icehockeystick Nov 25

    Feels like the Big Ten is doing this to make a statement & prove they can flex their muscles. doubt they care for college hockey as a whole

    Jashvina Shah ‏@icehockeystick Nov 25

    Believe it or not, college hockey’s success equally depends on the success of its smaller programs as it does with the larger ones.

    Jashvina Shah ‏@icehockeystick Nov 25

    Why are you honestly letting a conference that can’t even fix its own tournament determine what the rest of college hockey can do?

    ASU is against the B1G legislation.

     http://www.cronkitesports.com/asu-hockey-powers-reacts-to-big-ten-legislation-proposal/

    “We are not for the legislation, we like it the way it is,” ASU head coach Greg Powers said. “For the same reasons the rest of college hockey likes it. Most importantly, I think you’re limiting opportunity to kids if you pass this and we’re a program that has a lot of kids that fell into that boat.

    “Some kids need that extra year to earn the opportunity to play college hockey and I think it’s wrong to take that away from them,” Powers said.

     Mike McMahon ‏@MikeMcMahonCHN 15h15 hours ago

    This is important. ASU could influence Pac-12 vote. If so, that would balance out the 4 B10 votes.

    WCHA is against the B1G proposal.

    Jack Hittinger ‏@jackhitts Nov 25

    Just talked to WCHA commish Bill Robertson today. As expected, he said he and the WCHA are against the Big Ten's proposal.

    USCHO piece on Illinois players leaving due to no D1 teams.

     http://www.uscho.com/2015/11/24/theyre-leaving-home-illinois-produces-many-college-players-but-has-no-division-i-team/

    Sounds like the two B1G schools are not looking to add hockey even with a donor.

    They could have brought up Illinois State University as a school to potentially to move to NCAA D1. They have a big enough arena that they do share with the Bloomington Thunder (USHL) and an on campus arena to use for practice. ISU just moved up this year to ACHA D1.

    I remember hearing Coach Schaffer speak at Sioux Boosters a few years ago-he said many "big power conference schools" are unwilling to sign agreements with Cornell to do a home and away series with them and that's why he appreciated schools like North Dakota who's willing to return the favor of traveling to other team's barns. As much as I dislike DU I give them props too for taking the Coach Schaffer approach of "anywhere, anytime, anyplace" with regards to scheduling. Seems schools like Minnesota are unwilling to travel to non-conference teams' barns. You'd think Lucia who's coaching roots go back to small schools (Fairbanks and CC) would show a little bit more concern for the greater good of college hockey rather than just what's best for his school.

    Minnesota backed out of their deal with the team that isn't in the North Star Cup gets two game against Minnesota at home. Bemidji State so far  is the only team to get two home games against Minnesota, while Duluth and St. Cloud got home and home series with Minnesota.

     

    Next rule the B1G will come up with is, only B1G teams can have drafted players.

    The B1G showing their true colors.

    http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2015/11/24_big_ten_legislation_raises.php

    The B1G wants age restriction on players and then they are complaining that they have to recruit players younger and younger. Not surprised this was all started by Lucia after he lost to Union in the National Title game.

    The way the B1G is acting why would anyone want to schedule them ever again. They're acting like a bunch of kids that didn't get their way so they're taking their toys home, so no one can play with them.
