National Collegiate Hockey Conference

[Jim Hyla]

Via CHN article, by a player, about why Holy Cross is a better choice than UConn for HE. Interesting quote.

Other local Division 1 conferences pale in comparison to Hockey East's nightly attendance numbers, NHL players, national champions and emotion-fueled rivalries.

He couldn't be refering to Harvard, could he? Yeah I know Brown is about the same distance away, but that just doesn't have the same flair.

This doesn't belong here, but doesn't deserve its own post, IMO. Clarkson goalie Rosen is sponsoring a charity contest to design his helmet artwork.

Interesting analysis of what would have been the revenues of each conference had realignment occurred prior to the 2009-10 season. Cornell nets the seventh best total of all NCAA Division I programs with $585,585.00. Unsurprisingly, B1G Hockey, without the addition of Penn State hockey revenues, was the greatest with a net total of $3.6 million. NCHC would have netted $3.2 million. The ECAC would have netted $1.3 million.

Denver has a deficit of exactly one dollar.

That $1 deficit doesn't mean anything. It's probably not accurate. College athletic departments have some pretty clever ways of moving around revenue for scholarship and tax purposes (they want to maintain their tax-free non-profit status). There was an interesting Sports Illustrated article about it a few months ago. The article is actually about the possibility of pay for play in college sports, but in order to explain how it might work they need to explain how athletic departments cook their books. (Also, I apologize in advance for the pay for play debate that me linking to this article will inevitably spark.)

There must be a lot of fudging going on, given that 24 of the schols (counting Denver) broke exactly even.

I was about to suggest that we submit pro-Cornell artwork or something that says Sieve. If it goes to a fan vote there's a very small possibility we could get it on his helmet.

Via CHN. So, how soon before we can get a Home and Home series?

They should show proper respect and refer to the school by its correct moniker: tSFU.

Well, it's not Vladivostok, but it's a third of the way there at least.

I'm old.  I can remember when it was UVM to Hockey East.
