I first saw it in the article about Thome/St. Thomas, and now here. Where can I find info about how the conferences are going to be aligned next year? Quote

New CCHA is basically the WCHA without Huntsville or Alaskas, but with St. Thomas. BSU, Tech, Kato, St. Thomas, LSSU, Bowling Green, Northern Mich, Ferris. Quote

CCHA currently has seven teams; Lucia would like to have eight (or an even number). If an NCHC team were to leave for the CCHA, I bet it would be Miami. "..[I]f we can get that eighth team, it's extremely important," Lucia said. Quote
hky Posted April 12, 2021 Posted April 12, 2021 Is there a team plus Miami that the CCHA could add so we could get Mankato? 1 Quote

gfhockey Posted April 12, 2021 Posted April 12, 2021 Lucia would do anything to Pss off nchc but Nchc is more lucrative right now then ccha Quote

It’s selfish reasons only for me. We always had a big group that would make the yearly trek down there. Definitely boys night out. Quote

Goon Posted April 13, 2021 Posted April 13, 2021 Western Michigan loves being in the NCHC and isn't going anywhere. If you don't believe me ask Adam Bodnar. Go ahead and ask him. As far as Miami goes, do you really think they can just spend 1.5-2 million on an exit fee? I would really doubt it. Miami isn't going anywhere either. 2 Quote

Don’t know if Bale speaks for Mankato, but he seems to think Minnesota State would like to be in the NCHC. Quote

Does the exit fee clause have an expiration date? Quote

Why change what's working? 95% of fans and the administra ton would move to the nchc in a second. In fact, I heard (not sure if it's completely true or not), that msu told the other schools when the ccha was formed that we were still going to make the push to join the nchc. It just makes sense for us. There is little fan excitement about playing Ferris or bg or lssu. There just isn't a natural rivalry with them. 3 Quote
