UConn MHOC 23-24

What's behind UConn men's hockey's disappointing first half? Poor execution

The Huskies have done a lot well, but not nearly enough.

Notebook: UConn returns from winter break with a golden opportunity

As the Huskies get ready for Harvard, the team is almost fully healthy and the rotation at goaltender may come back.

The Forecheck: Remembering Andrew Raycroft's time at UConn

The former goalie coach was back on campus as a broadcaster on Sunday.

Much of the talk about adding a twelfth men's team to Hockey East centers around Holy Cross, as they are already women's members. The geography works, the Catholic affinity with BC, PC, and Merrimack works, the Boston/NESN alignment works. But the support/attendance doesn't. Last night Merrimack's men won at Holy Cross before a "crowd" of 714.

I doubt Quinnipiac has any interest in leaving the ECAC (easier access to the NCAA tourney) to join HE. Let's go after Sacred Heart. A great upgrade for SHU, with a beautiful new arena, and a geographic travel partner for UConn should HE adopt the Friday/Saturday home-and-home travel model of IVY League basketball.

I've beaten this dead horse for years. Holy Cross adds nothing to the league. But it is inside I-495, which is Boston/NESN speak for "you're one of us."

Mike McMahon has been recently speculating what would happen if the Ivy schools broke off from the ECAC.

(#364) What could a fictional college hockey universe with an Ivy League look like?

In today's issue, I break down the fictional scenario where Ivy League hockey comes to fruition. What could that do to the ECAC, Hockey East, and Atlantic Hockey? Who could go where? Also, I make picks in all of the holiday tournaments coming up this weekend (they begin later today on Thursday).

ECAC
Added: Army, Bentley, Holy Cross, RIT, Sacred Heart
Lost: Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, Yale

The ECAC survives by adding high-quality academic institutions that fit the mold alongside surviving members Clarkson, Colgate, RPI, St. Lawrence, and Union.

Hockey East
Added: Quinnipiac
Lost: None

Quinnipiac's administration has loved rubbing elbows with the Ivy League schools as part of the ECAC. If they're gone, I don't see a reason for Quinnipiac to stay in the ECAC.

Meanwhile, Hockey East has been patient waiting for a 12th team. League presidents want a school that will bring value to the league. Quinnipiac checks off a lot of boxes.

Atlantic Hockey

Added: Long Island, Stonehill, Utica
Lost: Army, Bentley, Holy Cross, RIT, Sacred Heart, Air Force

This makes Atlantic Hockey an eight-team league. For now, it seems that Atlantic Hockey is already exploring expansion, and in this fictional world, they'll add what they can to stay afloat after losing six schools.

Air Force to the CCHA

@husky8273 looks like they opened up some more seats for the Saturday game vs Maine.

You had to figure considering how sales were going with the lower bowl. Good to see.
Is Friday still looking quiet for sales?

Just curious. My nephew and niece, football season ticketholders, received two complimentary tickets to the Saturday game. I, a long-time hockey season ticketholder, did not. Did any BY hockey season ticketholders receive free tickets?

Yes, Quinnipiac's road to Hockey East would be built on the pavement of the Ivies breaking away from the ECAC. No more rubbing elbows with the elites (this is not an indictment of QU, which I admire as an excellent academic institution). Once that is gone, HE will pounce.

We have season tickets to football and hockey and we had no offer.

 

[zls44]

Offering hockey ST holders extra hockey tickets makes no sense.

Wow, the only tickets available in the lower bowl are handicap seats... is every peewee hockey team in the state attending the game next Saturday?

Real good chance of that.

Real good chance of that.

If thats the case, building is gonna be rocking ... lets go

It’s what we’ve wanted!
