Non-UND College Hockey 2025-26

[cberkas]

NCHC with the best OOC .722

1-2-0 against the B1G

1-1 against Hockey East

Looking at you Arizona State, Omaha, and Western Michigan at .500

CC’s captain and quarterback of their top power play unit, Max Burkholder, seen wearing a boot at the game last night at Air Force. He left the game Friday midway through against Bentley and didn’t return.

ESPN2 showing the MSU vs BU game this Friday.

For program visibility primarily would be nice to see UND leave the TV rights open for at least the Gopher series at home so ESPN was a possible option.

 

Getting the feeling the NCHC will more than likely be taking the TV and streaming to ESPN. Encouraging to see ESPN showing some interest in college hockey present day

Yeah, but we don’t even have a commissioner that’s active

I hate that ESPN has to be the avenue to promote college hockey.  They don't give a rats ass about it and really only spend any time on it during the F*cking Beanpot and the Frozen Four.  Loved it when the regional Fox stations carried all the NCAA regionals and you actually got people that covered the sport during the season announcing the damn games.

Solid article.

A less-publicized change from years past is 26 full rides.  That makes a big difference in what your "depth guys" can get.

Hardly 100% useless. It gives a preview of how the NPI will shake out, as there isn’t a great deal of difference between NPI and PWR. Which is why USCHO is showing the PWR. Yeah, it’s early but the PWR shouldn’t be discounted. 

Yeah it’s way too early to even hover the cursor over those numbers lol

Only holds 4,000 for hockey...where are the St Thomas fans gonna sit when the Sioux fans take over the arena?

Seriously though, it may be a tough ticket for traveling Sioux fans.

6 teams are going to share that building (men's and woman's hockey, men's and women's basketball and men's and woman's soccer).

They will do what they did in Tempe and buy season tickets
