Kevin G Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 We've had an NCHC-centric thread in the past. I even stole the thread title from a previous year's thread. It seems like a good time to start it with conference play starting for UND this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin G Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 Entering this year, the NCHC existed for ten seasons. So I asked myself, in NCHC conference play, which team won the most games? Earned the most points? Which team scored the most goals? Allowed the fewest goals? If someone has already done the research, I couldn't find it. I didn't look really hard. So I did a little research myself. Answers to come... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's stunning how even UND and DU have been in conference play. I honestly expected Miami to have been the worst team in the NCHC so far. But no, that's CC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin G Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 Here are the teams, best to worst, for goal scoring in the first decade of NCHC play: SCSU - 819 total goals scored UND - 769 DU - 752 WMU - 741 UMD - 725 UNO - 692 Miami - 551 CC - 481 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin G Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 Okay one more list for now. This is a chart of each teams' average goals for (GF) per year, goals allowed (GA) per year, and goal margin (Difference) per year, ranked by the best goal margin to the worst. GF=goals scored per year. GA=goals allowed per year. Difference=goal margin per year. GF GA Difference 1. DU 75.2 55.3 +19.9 2. SCSU 81.9 62.8 +19.1 3. UND 76.9 58.0 +18.9 4. UMD 72.5 57.7 +14.8 5. WMU 74.1 77.7 -3.6 6. UNO 69.2 76.5 -7.3 7. Miami 55.1 83.4 -28.3 8. CC 48.1 81.6 -33.5 (Conference play only. Data from NCHChockey.com.) So, on average, DU has scored 19.9 more goals per season of conference play than it has allowed, the best of any team in the NCHC, followed closely by SCSU and UND. Miami and CC have struggled mightily both in scoring and preventing goals, which is why they're both allowing about 30 more goals per season than they're scoring.

Can only assume they must’ve had a hard time scheduling teams to play them this season if they are playing Lindenwood 4 times this year… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL What would be the advantage of him transferring, btw? I kind of wonder if he will go back to juniors for the rest of the year or if the team just has him keep practicing and getting the grades back up. Will Duluth bring in Zam Plante now if he can get signed up for classes quickly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I agree with you; but that's what he does when he hits a bump in the road. UND asks him to play another year of juniors, he runs to Duluth. Now he can't keep his grades up. I take it back, forget the portal. He's headed to Major Juniors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Academically ineligible' is like luggage: You take it with you wherever you go (until you requalify). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
