Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2559102, member: 488"] Honestly, there's been a growing sense of apathy from a lot of people here as it relates to college sports, and I think college hockey is a perfect candidate to fill that void in the northeast. If conference realignment has ostracized a certain region from the national discussion in basketball in football, then hockey - a regional game played by regional players in a regional conference - can restore some identity to the sports landscape (I do think the New Big East will continue to thrive). And look, if you don't see yourself ever being into college hockey or hockey in general, I get it. I never thought I would be, either. But people follow people, and I think there is always going to be a certain pull to identifying with something you're not insulated from. If college basketball and college football are what's wrong with college sports, then college hockey is a lot of what's right. 11 schools, all located within New England, all of whom can beat anybody, with most of the games played on college campuses, is a mode that has helped me rectify some of my distaste for what has gone on nationally.
