Non-UND College Hockey 2024-25

Too bad we aren’t able to take advantage of the type of atmosphere at Allentown, at our regionals at Scheels.

It is nice to see a regional with a packed house

Then bid on a regional.

Funny how they have regionals in their back yard 3 hours away from the farthest teams and they don't show up.

This is the only time I've seen people show up to Allentown 

I'd rather just have the top seed in each regional host. Dumb to have neutral sites in random ass locations like Toledo

Welp, guess all eggs are gonna be in the WMU basket as Penn State is all over Maine.

[Oxbow6]

Maine looks awful

[cberkas]

Maine, UMass did it so can you

[nodakgirl93]

Really like the clash of these blue unis

#19 Dowiak, my 2nd cousin, from Penn St scored 3rd goal! 4-1 Penn State in the 2nd.  His mom is an an ND native.

[cberkas]

Maine defensemen making some bad decisions in the offensive zone

Did he get into hockey through family and/or through the Penguins success? Noticed he's a Western PA, Pittsburgh suburbs kid.

Man, what happened??  I went to dinner with Maine up 1-0 and they’re down 4-1.

I like to point it out as there are still quite a number of folks who think we went “toe to toe” with WMU last weekend.  

To be fair their toes were facing each other at points in the game 

[ChrisUND1]

Penn State is a vibe. 

[cberkas]

That should be a penalty 

[Godsmack]

Maine goalie got drilled.

At least they had a good crowd of Michigan State fans for the first day.

I think Maine should have challenged for a 5 min major contact to the head. What do they have to lose?

Yah totally. They need a spark of some sort. 

[Godsmack]

Would love an explanation of how Penn State didn’t get a minor for running the goalie in his own crease. 

[MafiaMan]

Maine…I’m so disappointed in you.

Penguins sucess. Mom is a Leier from Esmond/Maddock area. Played in Penticton until Covid, then Tri-City USHL.

Haven’t put hardly any thought into this, so just spitballing here.  With neutral conference tournaments dying and moving to home sites, and NCAA regionals typically very poorly attended, what if we skipped all that and gave the 6 conference regular season champs a birth into the “frozen 6”?  The teams would be seeded 1-6 based on some sort of pairwise and the 4/5 and 3/6 winners (played on Wednesday?) play the 1 and 2 seeds in Thursday semifinals, then the championship on Saturday.

Wasn’t this how it was back in the day with only 4 teams making it?
