SiouxVolley Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Pitt has added women’s lacrosse for 2022. Why report it here? https://pittsburghpanthers.com/news/2018/11/1/general-pitt-athletics-to-add-varsity-womens-lacrosse.aspx The addition of a women’s sport leaves open the Title IX possibility to start a men’s hockey team. A feasibility study of hockey has been rumored previously. Arizona St added women’s lax and triathlon to remedy its Title IX situation with men’s hockey.

SiouxVolley Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Forty six players from California are currently on DI posters. More teams could be formed in the West and South. https://www.uscho.com/2018/11/06/hockey-players-from-sun-belt-states-making-an-impact-on-ncaa-d-i-rosters/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxVolley Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Oakland U may be looking at football in addition to hockey. But with it negotiating to buy the Palace at Auburn Hills, hockey may be much closer to reality. Oakland U has grown a lot (new med school, law school and research) after being given its independence from Mich St, and the now with an enrollment of 20k. https://www.wxyz.com/sports/are-hockey-and-football-in-oakland-s-plans-new-ad-steve-waterfield-will-have-to-find-out With Green Bay looking at football too, is a Horizon League or midwest non scholarship league possible? Valpo and Drake MVC members), Dayton (A10),Augustana (DII now), Green Bay, Oakland and other Horizon League schools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxVolley Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Northern Illinois and six other Illinois area colleges are moving to ACHA DI. NIU could be a possible NCAA DI school with that USHL arena in the county closer to Chicago. NIU has sucked forever in mbb, so they need something. https://northernstar.info/sports/ice-hockey-awarded-division-i-status/article_de78e05c-e69f-11e8-a0c5-c3a395cb4f4a.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At UND, you could make it work by also having a 90 flex Bauer stick and a regulation goal in every classroom and kindly asking the shooter to stand just outside of the net. #scoringwoes 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cberkas Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 Ian Thomas @byIanThomas Follow Follow @byIanThomas More .@pac12 Commissioner Larry Scott says that while he would not predict that the conference adds ice hockey in the next 5 years, he is in active discussions with NHL ownership groups and teams about the sport, & expects growth in the future. ASU is ranked #19 in the country #sbjiaf This is interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the amount of work they have put into the new arena project and the outspokenness of their AD or President since the NHL sponsored study, I can't see this not happening. And the more teams the better. Tons of parity in college hockey, and maybe more teams can help UND separate themselves from the pack again, as talent gets diluted across more teams.
