Message: [QUOTE="dayooper, post: 2142498, member: 3859"] They turned down ASU for various reasons. Yes, UConn hockey would be a good addition to the Big10 hockey conference, but I'm not sure it's what we need right now. We need a team with history and tradition with the the present Big10 schools. Someone that was in either the old CCHA or WCHA. Obviously, North Dakota would be the best addition, but someone like Miami, OH or Denver would fit the bill as well. Right now isn't the time for UConn hockey in the Big10 from either side. UConn needs to be in Hockey East as long as it's in the AAC, or any other conference not named the Big10. It's where your rivals are, the travel is awesome and it's where you recruit. Notre Dame found that out after just a couple of years away from their area. Hockey is such a regional sport with intense rivalries. The Big10 finding this out the hard way. I hope that someday we can play you all as a full member of the Big10. [/QUOTE]
