MAAC RIP

[Neil Shapiro \'83]

Division I hockey fans won't have the MAAC to kick around anymore.  

Instead, we can diss Atlantic Hockey.

This leaves the ECAC as the lone NCAA conference governed by a multi-sport organization.  I still think the ECAC schools should do the exact thing that the MAAC hockey schools just did.

Adam outlined this belief back in February about as well as anyone has:

Even as the resident arch-conservative (hockey-wise), I have to agree.  It would be best if we could stay nominally within the ECAC for the sake of tradition while having a completely separate, autonomous hockey structure, but short of that we should do precisely what Atlantic hockey did.

Would we get to take the Whitelaw Trophy with us?  (There is some precedent, as the McNaughton Cup has followed Michigan Tech from the WCHA to the CCHA and back again.)

Man, this totally screws up my one-letter conference abbreviations.  The CHA was already 'A' and if I give that to the AH (tee hee), every one of the letters will be taken (C by the CCHA, H by HE and A by some AH).  Maybe the AH should be 'T' (the second letter in "Atlantic").

Hmmm...let me be the first to suggest that we call them:   AH-soles!  :-P
