Maybe it is time a North Dakota team should not have to have another NCHC team in their bracket.  If four teams are in a league affiliation they should be separated.

Fixed your post.

That likely will never happen - at least one regional tournament will likely NOT have a NCHC rep, so as to prevent what happened in 2005 (all WCHA teams in Frozen Four)

Although, at some point IF the NCHC has a down year, only two teams qualify

Just saying .. no guarantee UND plays in Sioux Falls. UMass or Omaha could mess up our plans.

I’ll bet my youngest kids college fund the boys are in SF

Latest bracketology from USCHO:

Holy region of death in South Dakota.  Any of those four teams could advance.
Hoping that the final brackets don't look like this for UND.

Providence, R.I.
1. Boston College
8. Minnesota
9. Maine
16. Bemidji State

Maryland Heights, Mo.
2. Boston University
6. Denver
10. Providence
15. RIT

Sioux Falls, S.D.
3. North Dakota
7. Quinnipiac
11. St. Cloud State
14. Michigan

Springfield, Mass.
4. Wisconsin
5. Michigan State
12. Western Michigan
13. Massachusetts

I'd be pissed if I were BU in this situation.  Get sent out west because you can't play UMass in the first round.  I'd be a little perturbed to be Wisco when you've got two Midwestern based regions and you don't get either of them.  Hosts and venues can't be too happy about those far flung travels, either.  I hope the pairwise sorts itself out before selection Sunday.

Remember Maine was a top 4 seed not too long ago. If UND drops, Wisconsin could very well be the top seed in Sioux Falls.

Yeah, the NCAA will never allow that to happen again after what happened in 2005.

Except when it happened in 2008 and 2009 and 2015 and 2016 and 2021 and 2022.....other than those though, it will never happen again.:whistling::D

If either or both Omaha and UMass make the tournament as host #4 seeds, will the committee set aside the intra-conference matchup prohibition to help boost attendance in an effort to fend off the supporters of on-campus regionals?

That logic is using an assumption the NCAA actually cares in any way.

I think we already know the answer to that...

Nice article on Gaber:

https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/from-a-gilbert-plains-farm-riese-gaber-has-become-one-of-college-hockeys-elite

He could pass Guch and Cags this weekend in career points if he gets 3 pts:

Quote

No active player in the country has scored as many college hockey goals as Gaber's 62.

He's climbing UND's career point chart, too.

Gaber has 125. With his next point, he'll match Jordan Kawaguchi's career total. With two points, he'll match Drake Caggiula. With three points, he'll be the highest-scoring UND player in the last decade.

Quote

Although Gaber could use his free COVID-impacted season to come back, he will likely turn pro at the end of this season.

"Anything can happen, but I've been saying this is my last year," Gaber said. "It's something I've been set on now. It's time for me to move on and I'm ready for the next level. I think I'm at peace with that decision now."
