watchmaker49 Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Since UND et al will be starting a new league with new league hardware what would be good names for the conference champs and playoff champs? These things need names so let the gears start running. Quote
Hayduke Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 I think they ought to see if we can keep the Broadmoor Trophy for the playoff champion. I know that the McNaughton is held in trust by Michigan Tech. Not sure if CC has any such claims for the Broadmoor. Add a new trophy for regular season conference champion. Quote

How about the Lucia-Alvarez Trophy? Quote

Goon posted a link that says the Broadmoor is staying with the WCHA. Quote

yzerman19 Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Broadmoor should stay with CC and move to the NCHC. Not sure what they will come up with for the league regular season title. Trying to think of a legendary player, coach, or setting that would resonate for all teams... Quote
Hayduke Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Goon posted a link that says the Broadmoor is staying with the WCHA. That's probably the way it is then. Oh, well. Quote

Trying to think of a legendary player, coach, or setting that would resonate for all teams... I'd say the top goalie award should be named after Ed Belfour. Player of the Year or scoring leader named after Tony Hrkac. Those are just two suggestions, I hope the regular season and turnament trophies are a cup style trophy like the MacNaughton Cup. Quote

I don't think so. Quote
MafiaMan Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 A guy who played one year and a guy who played two years? I don't think so. Like x 100. The Ed Belfour Trophy? Seriously? LOL! Why not Aaron Schweitzer? Quote
watchmaker49 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 How about the Reg Dunlop? Dean Youngblood, Racki, or Olgie Ogelthorpe? Quote
cberkas Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 I could see one of the league trophies named after Murray Armstrong 1 Quote
yzerman19 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Dean Youngblood, Racki, or Olgie Ogelthorpe? Derek Sutton, Ned Brayden, Johnny Upton, Billy Charlesbois... Quote
yzerman19 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 It would be classic to name it after Herb Brooks!!!! 1 Quote
watchmaker49 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 It would be classic to name it after Herb Brooks!!!! When you think about it what did Brooks do besides win one game? Quote
yzerman19 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 When you think about it what did Brooks do besides win one game? Coached Minnesota to 3 National Championships and played a huge role in promoting hockey at St Cloud State and all over Minnesota in general. He is a member of the US hockey hall of fame. I was joking about naming it after him just to get under the skin of the Gophers. Quote

Honestly, with what he did for St. Cloud State and college hockey in general, maybe that's not such a bad idea. I believe that 80 olympic gold medal did a lot to promote college hockey over the years. Why not? The Herb Brooks Trophy. Quote
jodcon Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 I could see one of the league trophies named after Murray Armstrong That wouldn't be a bad idea, a legend in the sport and Denver is in the league. Quote
cberkas Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Penrose Cup There is a CCHA trophy for Coach of the Year called the Spencer Penrose Memorial Trophy Edit: I was wrong it's for the Division 1 Coach ot the Year Not a CCHA trophy Quote

Winning one game that at least people in GF who had cable got to watch it live on old channel 7. Quote
