Message: [QUOTE="Viet Vet, post: 4118363, member: 8688"] Hockey East is an all-New England conference, with all bus trips (other than to Orono) less than four hours. Syracuse fits neither, and would have to build a program from scratch. Should HE expand to 12 (I hope they do), my preferences are either Sacred Heart or Holy Cross. Both are easy drives for the team and its fans, have existing programs, and would elevate their profiles moving from Atlantic Hockey to HE. The gold ring would be Quinnipiac, but I don't see them leaving ECAC. SH and HC both create natural and accessible hockey rivals for UConn. Holy Cross women already compete in HE as well. [/QUOTE]
