brianvf Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Correct. It looks like Mercyhurst, Michigan, UAA, and UAF were the teams playing in it this year. But it was called the Kendall Hockey Classic instead of the Nye Classic (according to USCHO). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice thing about this is that it allows UND to have an extra to non-conference games for making the trip to Anchorage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 So, looking at that from a conference point of view: UND must be in a cluster with SCSU, Bemidji St, and UNO as those teams play both home and road series. This gets UND 12 games. The other pairs must be: Home - Road Denver - CC Minn - Wisc Duluth - Mankato(?) UAA - Tech(?) Playing these make another 16 games for a 28 game schedule. Anyone know what the other clusters are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissSioux85 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 This info was included in the article about UND opening BSU's new arena How the 12-team schedule will play out In 2010-11, BSU and UNO will be joined by UND and SCSU to form a four-team cluster. The Beavers will play each team in the cluster four times (home and home series) for a total of 12 games. BSU will then play the remaining eight teams in the league two game each, for a total of 16 games, with eight on the road and eight at home. The cluster mates will rotate in each of the five seasons. In 2011-12 BSU/UNO will be joined by Colorado College and Denver, in 2012-13 Michigan Tech and UMD, 2013-14 Alaska-Anchorage and Mankato, and 2014-15 Minnesota and Wisconsin. Under this schedule every team in the league will play every other team at home three out of five years except for the travel partners who will play each other every year, Serratore explained. Over the course of the five year schedule, everybody plays each other the same amount of times home and away, he said. For North Dakota in 2010-11, the Sioux will play SCSU, BSU and UNO home and away. In addition, North Dakota will host Alaska-Anchorage, Denver, Minnesota and UMD. On the road for league games UND will travel to Colorado College, Michigan Tech, Mankato and Wisconsin. In 2011-12, Minnesota and Wisconsin will join UND/SCSU as cluster mates. In league games UND will host SCSU, CC, Tech, Mankato, Minnesota, UNO and Wisconsin. Road games include SCSU, UAA, BSU, Denver, Minnesota, UMD and Wisconsin.

iceberg Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 When Sioux got to the Nye Classic they automatically play Anchorage & Fairbanks....its a tourney but not a tourney. Rules state Fairbanks & Anchorage dont play each other in the two tournaments (this one and the one in Fairbanks a week later) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
