Message: [QUOTE="kingdobbs, post: 3739359, member: 1655"] Again not surprising, once the Ivies made their call. The Empire Six of the ECAC, while not marching in lock step with the Ivies, are typically marching to the same tune and in the same direction. The ECAC won’t have a season this year, I can just about guarantee it, though some or all of the remaining teams will go on as pseudo-independents. Clarkson is the only team to have posted an attempt at a schedule, and only Colgate, Quinnipiac and St Lawrence are on it from that group. Union seems likely to cancel. Percentage chance: Union - 99%. I feel like they’ve chosen and just haven’t announced. Colgate - 80%. With Cornell, RIT and RPI out, and Union sure to follow, there are suddenly half as many nearby teams to play, and what might have seemed plausible if any one of them drop suddenly becomes untenable when four of them do. Clarkson/SLU - 60-70% that the pair drops out together, 0% that one plays and one stays. Given their relative remoteness from the rest of college hockey and their relative proximity to each other, and the heat behind the rivalry locally, they still might consider a rivalry heavy season. Quinnipiac - 20%, going up to 50% if everyone else in league cancels out. There’s potentially room for them to play an NCAA minimum (reports are this year is they’ve reduced the minimum to 13 games to be considered for tournament inclusion, such as a tournament may or may not still happen) just from who stays in the ECAC and who has room left in AH. Might be able to strike a deal with Hockey East if everything else goes taters up for then. [/QUOTE]
