College Hockey

[Col Hogan]

UMass is currently ranked 9th in the USAToday poll and 5th nationaly in the USCHO poll after beating two top ten teams in a tourney this past weekend...

I'm sure UM's club team is having fun and improving every week. :D

UMass once had a strong team...then dropped the sport completely...

Restarted with a club team that has grown to full status, and is doing quite well...

Is hockey popular in Montana...I know Minnesota and the Dakotas are huge in the sports...

[TheValleyRaider]

Colgate is stumbling along again this year, consistently inconsistent

We did beat Wisconsin in Madison though :)
(okay, so it was technically a tie, but we won the shootout xnodx)

[Ivytalk]

The Harvard men (6-6-2) are ranked #15 but will likely drop after two tournament losses in Ohio. The women are #3 in the country and have won 11 straight at home.xthumbsupx

Hockey is popular here in Missoula, due to a large number of transplants, but I wouldn't say it has a large following across the state; some cities do have successful junior teams.

UNH as well.

Have to play this weekend without 2 of it's top scorers.

James vanRiemsdyd will be with Team USA at the World Juniors.xthumbsupx

The other doesn't have such a good excuse.xnonono2x

I wouldn't say its huge in ND, only 20 high schools and one university have an official team. Its popular but hardly huge. Nothing compared to Minnesota.

[Eaglesrus]

The University of GA, Georgia Tech, the University of Florida and Florida State all have club teams that get together in Savannah one weekend each year with one of the GA teams playing one of the FL teams on Friday night and then swapping on Saturday night. I do believe that's probably the only ice hockey played within at least 100 miles of here each year (maybe more, but Jacksonville had a minor league team at one time and may still for all I know), and I doubt that the quality is very good, but they pack the house.

Probably a bit of a trek, but Alabama-Huntsville has a D-I program. They're not bad, made the Tournament last season

It would be indeed. There is no good way to get from Savannah to Alabama, unless maybe you own a plane.

Well, just got back from visiting the Cowell Stadium of Hockey East for UNH's matchup with Merrimack... good 1-0 victory down two of their top scorers... hopefully they can grab another Sunday vs. St. Lawrence.

[NDSUFREAK]

Minnesota is the state of hockey...and the ONLY Hockeytown in Minneapolis/St. Paul.

[Col Hogan]

Big match tonight...

#8 UNH travels to the Mullins Center on the campus of the University of Massachusetts to take on the #5 UMass Minutemen...

For those of you who can get NESN, its their Friday night match (8pm EST). I hope its on channelsurfing...

The Minutemen have scored some impressive wins so far...this will be another huge test...

[yorkcountyUNHfan]

UNH has their two scorers back this weekend. At U Mass is a tough place to play now.

[TheValleyRaider]

Colgate splits a weekend in the Capital District

Friday night, they got shot down by Union 5-4. It was the Dutchmen's first win against Colgate since 2003

It appears some shiprighting occurred tonight, as the Raiders blanked RPI 4-0 in Troy. Dekanich gets shutout #2 on the season, and #7 in his career

Raiders are 8-9-3 overall, 2-4-2 in the ECAC

Next weekend, at home vs. the North Country, Clarkson/SLU

[UNHWildCats]

I'd trade both of them for one in November.

[brownbear]

Brown lost again, to Princeton. We are now 1-11-4. Our next game is next Sunday against Merrimack. Basketball season is better!

Was at the game... UNH dominated most of the game and seemed to want it more... With two goals and an assist over the weekend it is good to have the #2 overall NHL pick back in the lineup!!!

[TheValleyRaider]

3 points at home against the North Country

Friday night, Colgate battled preseason favorite Clarkson to a 1-1 tie. Several good chances in the OT, but no dice

Saturday, the Raiders buried their opportunities against St. Lawrence to knock off the Saints 4-1

Colgate is 3-4-3 in the ECAC, should be in 9th place after tonight, 9-9-4 overall

That Clarkson-St. Lawrence trek is one of the most difficult road trips in all of college sports!!! Not quite as bad for you guys out there on the NY Tundra, but still a brutal trip. Three points is very impressive!

And when Raider says "North Country", he isn't kidding!! We're talking about two towns north of the Adirondack Park in upstate NY! xeekx Yes, there are actually towns inhabited up there in the St. Lawrence River Valley! Potsdam and Canton, NY are NOT places you want to drive to in January!!!

Lucky for us this weekend, the games were at home

I went up last March when Colgate played St. Lawrence for an ECAC Playoff Round. It is incredibly desolate up there. Very depresssing to be in, actually. There's really nothing to do up there but play hockey and drink. And we did plenty of both...

[The Sheriff]

The UND Fighting Sioux seems to have begun what has been a typical second half surge for them. They have won 5 of the last 6 (6 of 8 when you include the New Hampshire series) and play against perennial cellar-dweller Alaska Anchorage next weekend in Grand Forks. (can't take them lightly though) Hopefully the trend continues into a huge series against Minnesota in Minneapolis two weeks from now.

[TheValleyRaider]

Let's keep this one alive too

Colgate splits on the weekend at home, facing the Brown/Yale travel pair

On Friday, a tight first period degenerated rapidly, as Yale cruised to a 6-1 victory. Swept by the Bulldogs this year xbangx

On Saturday, Colgate did the cruising, knocking off Brown 5-0. David McIntyre scored twice, and Mark Dekanich got the shutout, his 3rd of the season and 8th of his career. Those 8 shutouts ties the school record held by his predecessor in the Raider net, Steve Silverthorn

Colgate moves to 4-5-3 in the ECAC, which should be good for 8th place after the weekend, and 10-10-4 overall

Next weekend, the annual home and home showdown with... the Big Red of Cornell xmadx xmadx

Better Dead than Red this week!

[otto4pres]

Cornell beat Brown 4-1 last night and tied Yale 2-2 tonight
the Big Red are now 9-7-3 overall 7-4-1 in conference


next weekend.... xhypedx

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

UNH just finished a home and home sweep over BU. Wildcats won 4-2 in Durham last night and 5-3 tonight at Agganis Arena.

Harvard started its second-half playoff drive with a big road win over Dartmouth last Saturday. The Crimson play at Brown tonight, then it's the Beanpot on Monday against Northeastern!

Brown won tonight!!! Yes, we actually won a game, beating Harvard 4-2 to end our 14 game winless streak!!! Improves our record to 2-14-4, and we get Dartmouth tomorrow afternoon.

[TheValleyRaider]

Colgate swept in their weekend home and home with Cornell

On Friday, the Raiders were done in by a bad center-ice giveaway in a 2-1 overtime defeat

On Saturday, Colgate couldn't muster anything offensively, and Cornell broke a 3rd period tie late. An empty-netter made the final score 3-1

The Raiders fall to 4-7-3 in ECAC play, their 11 points keeping them in 8th. Overall record falls to 10-12-4

Next weekend, Colgate goes on the road to the North Country, Friday at St. Lawrence and Saturday at Clarkson

[brownbear]

Holy Crap!! Brown won again today against Dartmouth, 4-3, and we are no longer in last place in the ECAC. This brings our record to 3-14-4, with a two game win streak. We play at Princeton and Quinnipiac next weekend.

Is #5 really all that good considering there are only about 60 teams playing D-1 hockey?

Is #5 really all that good considering there are only about 60 teams playing D-1 hockey?

1) It's still just four spots from the top

2) Considering there are about 120 teams in each football subdivision, it would be the same as being in the top 10 in the country.

[brownbear]

Coming off two straight wins, Brown played Princeton tonight. At the end of the second period, Brown was up 1-0, on track to win its third straight after going 1-14-4 to start the season. However, Brown blew it and gave up three goals in the third period and lost 3-2 to end the winning streak. Brown is now 3-15-4, with a game at Quinnipiac on Sunday.

[TheValleyRaider]

Colgate takes 3 points on the tough North Country trip, the first time they've done that since 2001-02

On Friday, Tyler Burton scored twice in the opening 3 minutes, then Colgate held on for dear life to grab a 2-1 victory at St. Lawrence. It was their first win in Appleton since the aforementioned 01-02 season. The victory was also the 250th career win for head coach Don Vaughn. He needs 2 more wins to pass Terry Slater as the all-time winningest coach in school history

On Saturday, Dekanich backstopped Colgate to a 0-0 tie at nationally-ranked Clarkson. The shutout was the 9th of his career, which breaks Steve Silverthorn's school record. This was the 4th consecutive year that the two teams have tied in Potsdam, the 5th consecutive season that Clarkson has failed to win in Potsdam, and the 5th tie there in the last 7 years. This was also the 2nd 0-0 tie in Colgate history, the first coming at Yale in 2005

The Raiders improve to 5-7-4 in conference, with 14 points (good to stay in 8th), and 11-12-5 overall

Next weekend, 2/15-16, Colgate is back on home ice to face the Capital District. Struggling RPI comes on Friday night, while surging Union visits Saturday.

[Ivytalk]

Harvard beat a tough Union club on the road last night, 3-2. They play BC for the Beanpot title on Monday night, then they start a 4-game homestand.xthumbsupx

Go Crimson! Those BC Bastages beat us pretty good earlier this season, so it would be nice to take revenge in the Beanpot.

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

[Ivytalk]

Shyt. BC wins, 6-5 in OT.xmadx Oh, well, on to the 4-game homestand!:)

[brownbear]

Brown lost an exciting game tonight to Clarkson, 4-3 in OT. Brown scored two goals in the first 10 minutes, then Clarkson scored a goal in each period, to take a 3-2 lead. Brown came back to score with about 3 minutes left, and the game went overtime, but Clarkson scored in the last minute to take the win. we are now 3-17-4, with a game against St. Lawrence tomorrow.

[The Sheriff]

Sounds like a lot of excitement in the land of college hockey last night. North Dakota, down 4-1 against Denver, rallied back to claim victory 5-4 at the Ralph.

[brownbear]

Brown won tonight against St. Lawrence, 3-1!!!! We're now 4-17-4, and we travel to Dartmouth and Harvard next weekend, who we've already beaten this year!

[TheValleyRaider]

A 4 point weekend at last!

Colgate dominated RPI on Friday, Dekanich pitched the shutout in a 4-0 victory. Relatively unexciting game, but a nice win because none of the points came from our top 2 scorers. Depth has been a problem this year, so that's huge for us

Saturday, the roof came off. The Raiders blasted Union 8-0. Dekanich with another shutout, giving him 3 in a row and 6 on the season (both new school records), and has run his shutout streak to 212:26, a Colgate and ECAC record. He's been nothing short of amazing these last two weeks. Almost lost in the excitement, Don Vaughn won his 252nd career game, passing the legendary Terry Slater for the most all-time in school history. Huge night in Colgate hockey history, no doubt :)

With the 2 wins, the Raiders improve to 7-7-4 in the ECAC, still in 8th, but now 2 points behind teams 5-7 and 3 points behind Cornell in the important 4th spot. Colgate jumps above .500 for the year, they're now 13-12-5

Next weekend, last regular season road trip for the Raiders as they head to the southern-most ECAC travel partners. They'll battle a tough Princeton Tigers team on Friday night, then the struggling Quinnipiac Bobcats on Sunday afternoon

[Ivytalk]

Brown won tonight against St. Lawrence, 3-1!!!! We're now 4-17-4, and we travel to Dartmouth and Harvard next weekend, who we've already beaten this year!

Won't happen again, brownbear. Harvard beat Princeton and Quinnipiac this weekend, so we're peaking at the right time. Brown will go back to Providence with another L.

Great game last night... UNH controlled play most of the game... Can clinch at least a share of the Regular Season Title with a tie and can claim it outright with a win... and on a sidenote, I think the game tonight is on NHPTV, not NESN (It was on NESN last night)

Harvard finishes a home weekend sweep of Yale (6-1) and Brown (2-1). They've clinched a home ECAC playoff series and second place in the Ivies. Tough road trip next weekend at Colgate and Cornell.

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

UNH wins 5-1 in Durham to complete a weekend sweep of the Chestnut Hill Beagles!!! I believe that clinches the regular season Hockey East Championship for the Wildcats.

[YaleFootballFan]

Tough OT loss to Cornell for my Quinnipiac Bobcats last night.

Let's hope we can rebound with a win over Colgate tomorrow afternoon over at The Bank. The game will be televised on NESN.

A QU win tomorrow will put them in a 3rd place tie with Harvard.

Nice weekend for Yale. Outscored 13-3 in their two games. xsmhx

[TheValleyRaider]

Wild weekend for Colgate, but 2 points is 2 points

On Friday, the Raiders were blitzed by Princeton 7-2. Colgate hung with the Tigers for the first two periods, trailing only 3-2. In the 3rd, however, the floodgates opened in a big way.

On Sunday afternoon, Colgate got back on track with a 4-3 overtime win at Quinnipiac. Birthday boy Peter Bogdanich got the game winner in a sloppy back-and-forth affair.

Colgate's record in ECAC play remains at .500, 8-8-4. Their 20 points ties them with Yale for 7th, but the Eli swept the season series, giving them the tiebreaker. Colgate is still mathematically alive for 4th place and a first round bye. They have also clinched at least 8th, getting a first round home series. Overall record remains steady at 14-13-5

Next weekend, Colgate closes out the regular season at home facing Harvard on Friday night 2/29, then closing with Dartmouth on the afternoon of Sunday 3/1

[TheValleyRaider]

With 2 games left for each team, the ECAC standings are vaguely clearer.
-Clarkson and Princeton will finish 1-2, and they'll play on Friday night at Clarkson to determine the regular season title.
-Every team from Harvard to Colgate is still alive for a 1st round bye, and have all at least clinched a 1st round home series.
-The bottom 4 teams, Dartmouth, RPI, Brown and SLU are all eliminated from getting a home game. They'll be on the road when the playoffs start in 2 weeks.

Hard to believe last year's regular season champion (SLU) sits at the bottom of the standings. Meanwhile last year's bottom feeder (Union) is near the top of the standings. Go figure.

Just got back from the Quinnipiac/Colgate game at TD Banknorth Sports Center. Rough weekend for the Bobcats with the two OT losses. We needed this one today to get back into the top 4. Now we have to head up to Clarkson and SLU to get the job done, and hope for a little help from Harvard, Union and Cornell's opponents.

Wow, I actually get to cheer for Yale on Friday! xlolx

That Clarkson/Princeton game on Friday is HUGE! Clakson wins they wrap up the regular season title; Princeton wins and it comes down to the final day of the season. Big weekend for the ECAC!

They're all big weekends in the ECAC xrotatehx

Among other things, Colgate needs Yale to drop at least 1 point this weekend, so I think I'll be hoping Union tops Yale before falling to Brown. Better than hoping they lose or tie RPI. Or maybe... xreadx

[Pattycakes]

The gophers picked up a solid 3 points this weekend in their series vs. wisconsin

BETTER DEAD THEN RED!!!!!!

[brownbear]

Brown blew a game they should have won tonight against RPI. Brown was up 1-0 with 2 minutes left, just 2 minutes from Brown's first shutout of the season. Then, Brown gave up 2 goals within the next 30 seconds to lose 2-1. We are now 5-19-4, and we face Union tomorrow night to close out the regular season.

Actually, this is surprisingly clear for the ECAC xrotatehx

Going into the last day last season, RPI had 29 different possible scenarios that could have played out and affected their standing in some different way. For 1 day's worth of games!

Cornell and Harvard play tomorrow, so unless they tie and Union loses or ties, the Dutchmen get a bye xeekx

Pretty impressive for a team that's never won a playoff series in the ECAC

I added colors to your post because I like the colors :)

[YaleFootballFan]

Quinnipiac can finish no higher than 6th and no lower than 7th. That means we'll be home next weekend against either SLU, Dartmouth or Brown for the first round.

Hard to believe Quinnipiac was fighting for first place just a few weeks ago. This current 5-game losing streak, along with some key injuries, has pushed us to the middle of the pack. I can deal with QU's recent losses to Harvard, Cornell and Colgate. But the lopsided losses to Dartmouth and St. Lawrence? Totally unacceptable.

[proudsioux]

7 national titles baby.

[TheValleyRaider]

Well, that was mildly disappointing xrolleyesx

Friday night, Colgate and Harvard battled to a 3-3 tie. The Raiders led 3-2 in the 3rd, but the Crimson were able to knot it up. Dekanich made a key save with 1 second left in the OT to secure the point.

I'll go on record (if I haven't already) of saying that I hate afternoon hockey games, especially when Colgate is at home. They put plenty of shots on net, but the PP (as usual) looked inept and the Penalty-Kill was far from effective. Dartmouth goes 4-5 on the PP as the Big Green beat a lackluster Raider team 5-2.

Colgate finishes the regular season at .500 with an overall record of 14-14-6. In the ECAC, the Raiders finish at 8-9-5, their 21 points being good for 8th after Yale's victory today

Next weekend, the playoffs begin. Colgate will host St. Lawrence in Starr Rink for a Best 2 of 3 series. Games are Friday and Saturday night, then Sunday night if necessary. This will be the 4th ever playoff series between the two schools, all coming in the last 6 seasons. Colgate won the two held in Hamilton (2003, 2004), while SLU won up in Canton (2007)

-Clarkson, Princeton, Harvard and Union get 1st Round byes. Clarkson wins the Cleary Cup as Regular Season Champs, the first time since 1999. Princeton gets their first bye since 1999, while Harvard gets their 6th in the last 8 years. Union's is especially surprising given they've never won a playoff series, let alone get a bye, since jumping to D-I in 1994 xeekx

-Cornell misses out on a bye for the first time since 1999. They host Dartmouth, who is travelling after earning a bye for 5 of the last 6 seasons

-Quinnipiac hosts in the 1st Round for the 2nd year in a row. They get Brown, travelling in the 1st Round for the 3rd year in a row

-Yale gets a 1st Round series at home for the first time since 2003. They battle Rensselaer, who travels for the 4th time in the last 6 years

-Colgate finishes 8th for the 2nd year in a row, hosting a series for the 7th year in a row. They play St. Lawrence, who travels in the 1st Round one year after winning the Regular Season Title

YaleFootballFan, did you go to the Quinnipiac game tonight? I got to go to down to Hamden for this, great game!! Brown gives up 5 goals in the first 5 minutes of the second half, and comes back (including scoring a goal with 5.4 seconds left in the 3rd), but finally gave up the goal after about 11 minutes of OT. Too bad we couldn't pull out the win, but we can always win tomorrow.

Too bad we couldn't pull out the win, but we can always win tomorrow.

I was there. I have season tickets in Section 102, over near the Quinnipiac bench. I saw about a half dozen fans sporting Brown hockey jerseys across the way. Too bad QU students are on break, otherwise we would've had a much bigger crowd than the 1,900 that was announced. At least the pep band was there, albeit just a few members of it.

Good game, but frustrating too. Last night was the third straight home game where Quinnipiac gave up a goal in the closing seconds. Two weeks ago, we lost to Cornell with 17 seconds left in OT, the next night we lost to Colgate with under a minute left in OT, then last night we allowed a game tying goal with 5.4 seconds left. And if that wasn't enough, SLU scored the game tying goal with 0.5 seconds in Hamden back in November!

This QU team isn't the same team from early in the year that was beating the likes of Clarkson, Princeton (twice), Western Michigan and Vermont. We're basically limping into the playoffs and we were VERY lucky to skate away with the victory last night.

ECAC Hockey Playoff scores tonight....

Yale 3, Rensselaer 2 (OT) - Elis win series 2-0; advance to the Quarterfinals.

Typical SLU-'Gate playoff series xcoolx

On Friday, Colgate came out flat and got what they deserved. They were blitzed by the Saints to the tune of 5-2. 3 SLU goals came on shots from the point in an all-around dismal effort

On Saturday, with their season on the line, the Raiders came back strong, picking up a 3-2 win. An early 2nd period goal by SLU to tie the game was quickly answered, and Colgate would gut out the remainder of the game for the win

On Sunday, Colgate jumped out to the lead, never looking back en route to a 3-1 victory and a 2-1 series win over the Saints. For the 3rd time, SLU comes down to Hamilton for a playoff series and wins the 1st game, only to lose the next two and the series

Colgate's record improves to 16-15-6. A win next weekend guarantees the Raiders a .500 record for the season

Next weekend, Colgate heads to the North Country to take on the Clarkson Golden Knights, ECAC Regular Season Champs and the League's #1 seed. Winner of the best 2 of 3 series heads to Albany for the ECAC Championships

Saw Princeton several times this winter and they are good, but by no means invincible. I think the Bulldogs have a good shot at a series victory.

This is the time of the year where you are proud of your team not only for their play on the ice, but when you read stories like this:

http://www.fightingsioux.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=1412063

10 players named to the All-Academic team, tops in the WCHA for the second straight year.

This past season the Sioux hockey team has been attacked by other fan bases and their media-types for some news made off of the ice, and a false perception was created in the upper midwest regarding the type of players that play Sioux hockey. While the off-ice incidences were unacceptable, no denying that, the young men that play Sioux hockey are great players in the community and apparently in the classroom.

Just like MOST self respecting Wildcat fans, I too dislike the Beagles. But UNH only has itself to blame for that debacle last night. They had a 4-1 lead and started taking stupid penalties. And I think the "defense" kind of left Regan hung out to dry. Let's hope they got all this merde out of their system.

Everything I've read and heard said BC was a lock for the NCAA regardless of the outcome of last night's game. They're definitely in now. Let's hope that UNH keeps their top four spot and plays in Worcester.

I read the other day I think on the H.E. site but not totally sure that UNH was the only sure thing from Hockey East.... that they didnt need to win the tourney to get in. That was before last weekends best of three series' though so perhaps that changed it.

[The Sheriff]

Everyone disregard the latest Bracketology predictions...

WCHA is proving to be a wild one. Gophers beat top seeded Colorado College last night so it is (3) Denver vs. (5) Minnesota for the championship and (1) Colorado College vs. (2) North Dakota for 3rd. Minnesota and Denver both are doing everything right to strengthen their NCAA tournament position.

All games on FSN North. 2:00 CST and 7:00 CST today.

Yes, I believe the Beagles sweep of Providence changed things. And the conference semi-final and final games this weekend will probably change everything again. The good news is that UNH is a lock for the NCAA and according to one article on USCHO, they couldn't drop out of the top four this weekend even with the loss to UCH.

The early speculation by the Minnesota media last night, and similar to what this morning's bracketology session predicted was that Minnesota, North Dakota, Boston College and Princeton will find themselves in the Northeast region.

Minn, ND and BC always seem to find each other in the National Tournament every year. For the last 3 seasons MN and ND have been in the same region. ND and BC have had themselves a nice little rivalry going on the national stage as well.

Interesting to see if these predictions will hold true...

It's a ranking system done by computer. The ranking, the PairWise, can be seen here: http://www.uscho.com/rankings/pwr.php, and an explanation of how it all works here: http://www.uscho.com/FAQs/?data=pwrexplanation

There is no rule that says a below .500 team can't make the tournament if they finish high enough in the PairWise, and Wisconsin did it. Might get looked at in the offseason though... xwhistlex

According to the committee, they were trying to protect the top 2 teams. They didn't want to send one of them to Madison or Colorado Springs because those sites are hosting regionals. So that left the next 2 #1s to possibly have to get through hosts Wisconsin or Colorado College to the Frozen 4

Yeah, and something about bracket integrity too. UNH is the overall #4 and is now in the regional with the overall #5 (Colorado College). And IIRC they kept #3 with #6 with these pairings as well. The rule mandating that host teams are placed in that regional really hinders the true seeding (#1-#16, #2-#15, etc.) as well as placing the number one seeds as close to home as possible.

UNH only has themselves to blame as they spit the bit Friday night in Boston. Come on, a 4-1 lead should have been sufficient! They win that game, they remain the #3 team and probably get placed in Worcester.

At least by playing at Colorado College, they'll be on an olympic sized rink like at the Whittemore Center. And we did play CC last season out there so it isn't a completely foreign site. And they did beat CC twice in Durham way back in October. But take that with a grain of salt because they had also beat the UCH Beagles three times during the regular season. xrolleyesx

Wisconsin is a member of the WCHA which got six teams into the tournament. The strength of the conference got them that bid. And guess what, the first team left out was also a member of the WCHA -- Minnesota State (Mankato). And this sub .500 team got a three seed in a regional which means they were ranked as a top twelve team in the sixteen team field.

The NCAA did "break" the rule about no games against conference mates in the first round though as the Badgers will face conference mate Denver.

I'm sure the Midwest Regional being held in Madison didn't hurt Wisconsin at all, you know that had to weigh in.

i'm really liking the gophers chances at making the frozen four. They've been playing some incredible hockey the past two weeks and have shown a lot of heart. Alex Kangas has also stepped up big time.

wondering the same thing. If Princeton beats us in the Midwest regional, I'm pulling for them to win the regional. After that, I'll be rooting for all other FCS teams. If Denver wins another national title, they will pull ahead of UND for second all time. Can't have that happen.

Believe it or not the Gophers are actually my 2nd favorite team. I always cheer for them when they aren't playing against the Sioux. I take great pride in the fact that these two schools have combined to win 10 of the last 34 NCAA championships. Add my 3rd favorite team (Wisconsin) into the mix and it becomes 16 of the last 35. After those three I have no particular pecking order within the conference, but I always enjoy seeing the conference represented well. I love the WCHA. It's the same feeling I have towards Big 10 football.

[brownbear]

I still hate Princeton. Go UND!xthumbsupx

Agreed, even though Princeton and Clarkson are also in the ECAC, I see no benefit for Brown if they win the championship. In basketball, the Ivy League has a tough time claiming they are one of the top 20 best basketball conferences, so any wins in the tournament can really help us look better. In hockey, there are at large teams from the ECAC every year, and any wins by our rivals doesn't show that we are underrated, because the ECAC is expected to be decent at hockey.

[YaleFootballFan]

The ECAC is considered to be the weakest of the four major conferences, partially because of the league's inability to do well in the NCAA Tournament. Case in point: in last year's tournament both ECAC representatives lost early in the tournament, including #1 seed Clarkson.

2003 was the last time the ECAC was in the Frozen Four (Cornell). It has only happened twice in the last 10 years that an ECAC team made it to the Frozen Four (SLU was the other in 2000) and it's been 17 years since an ECAC team won a National title (Harvard '89). Considering how many titles the other 3 conferences have won in that span, that's a pretty long drought.

You can root for whomever you like, but when our league mates do well on the national level, it only benefits the image of the league. Just think of how bad the league would look if our regular season champion and tournament champion both lost in the first round.

[TheValleyRaider]

Yeah, any win by Clarkson and/or Princeton is a big boost to ECAC perception. In addition to the droughts YFF cited, Colgate in 1990 was the last time an ECAC team even made the Championship Game xsmhx

I like Clarkson's chances to win a game, at least. Princeton, well, NoDak's alright, from what I've heard... xwhistlex

Well, I don't really have a dog in the fight, so to speak. If I had to predict, I'd put the Sioux as the winners.

It would just seem so strange that Wisconsin would be still standing even after finishing the regular season with a <.500 record. Just think if the NCAA hadn't clarified the rule book xeekx
