cberkas Posted 7 hours ago Author Posted 7 hours ago Weems gets extended until 2029-30. I’m on the fence with this, she hasn’t done anything that has stood out. She needs to get the officials training camp started again (don’t think they’ve done one in the last two years). Have actual former refs or an extra ref at games to be the eye in the sky and help with making decisions on replays. Add the Davis Rules, these are desperately needed. Make investments into technology to make the game/broadcast better, like in net NHL cameras at all the schools. On NCHC.tv when you do full screen with the multi box have it take up the whole screen and not just the middle (the is so irritating have to resize it on the computer). Time to get the schools to upgrade their quality of their broadcasts. I’d like to see her and the conference leadership do more and set the standard again in college hockey. 1 Quote
cberkas Posted 6 hours ago Author Posted 6 hours ago We’re spoiled with this, but the NCHC could do what UND does and have a destination game each year for a team. Quote

Does she get credit for St. Thomas joining the league? Since the loss of a national TV contract it is very important to get the schools to improve their broadcasts. 2 Quote

I'd like to see something from the league that makes the brand and product better and the standard. Quote

Heather has helped oversee the addition of Arizona State & St Thomas. While Arizona State has not been incredible on the ice (yet), I like their presence in the conference, feel like they already have a solid local fanbase there. St Thomas is a good addition, program on the rise, geographically makes sense. Broadcasts/TV are what I'm going to keep an eye to see if they can innovate/improve over time. Overall, I just think NCAA Hockey needs better national promotion. It is on the right track with more NHL fans (especially Canadian) eyeballs on what is going on in the NCAA with CHLers now eligible plus the overall quality of the game getting better and better.

The stakeholders need to take the initiative along with College Hockey Inc. (funded by the NHL) and advertise from December to the national title game, the NCAA tournament during every NHL game. Why this has not been done is alarming and would grow the game. Last year they had people online saying they had no idea the regional was in Albany until they saw it on tv. No billboards or advertisements in Albany for the games. The stakeholders need to tell ESPN that you only have Sean Ritchlin that is good on the tv broadcasts. Bring in guys that call NCAA hockey all season because they are million times better then Bucci, Colby, and the others they put on tv. I'd rather hear the game from people that know what is going on than hearing (insert players name) was the MOP of last year's Frozen Four for the 40th time in the first period. Quote

NCHC on ESPN+ would also mean on TSN+. That better be the next move Quote
