Not sure what to make of all this. But it's probably helpful to consolidate operations of hockey only leagues.

The first article I read about this, I thought it was just the Woman's Conference, but I'm glad it is all of the teams. It really makes sense, I think.

But the question remains... Who is number 12? Syracuse? Buffalo?

On the women's side, I wonder if it makes sense for sacred heart to move to the AHA and join the men when Delaware becomes the seventh team in 25-26.

CHA has not existed (http://www.tbrw.info/?/ncaa_History/conf_Tour_Icon.html) in Men's since 2010.
