Not like anyone REALLY cares, but...

I care. It's ugly.

Meh. I still miss the torch.

So now we're no longer the ECAC, or even the ECACHL, but ECACH?

And it took a year to drop the word "League" and add richer and deeper toned color?

Rich S · March 17, 2007, 05:31:41 PM

too much red and white.

And where's a touch of Green and Gold? :-D

You get a chance to add a touch of green and gold tonight. Good luck.

The logo looks even more USA American than ever before. More generic. The torch was nice, a modest tribute to the idea of scholarship, light, warmth, whatever.

If it's back to ECAC Hockey from ECAC Hockey League, good. About time.

Agreed about ECAC hockey and on the torch!

"We're the best in the ECACH!"

My favorite part was how the article points out, as suggested by the new logo, that the conference will now be known simply as ECAC Hockey. Then the marketing head cheese that supposedly worked on this for year proceeded to call it "the ECAC Hockey League".

[quote Chris '03]I care. It's ugly.[/quote]It's boring and the aspect ratio looks messed up.

The torch was great, but with Colgate shifting to scholies and Q being admitted, I guess we're no longer interested in amateurism.

Which is fine; can we offer scholarships, yet, or do we have to wait for tuition to top $50k/year?

ECACH IJKLMNOP ::crazy::

(Note in this article there is a promise to improve officiating.)

Great find - thanks for sharing. The wonders of the net continue to amaze me (even as it sucks up enormous amounts of time when I should be doing other things **])

[quote Trotsky]Which is fine; can we offer scholarships, yet, or do we have to wait for tuition to top $50k/year?[/quote] You don't? I have read so many reports about your recruits stating that they received them. ;-)

Back closer to being on topic, does anyone know if the complete name is "Eastern College Athletic Conference Hockey" or is the abbreviation "ECAC" officially part of the name? I don't see it spelled out on http://www.ecachockeyleague.com/.

Further off topic again, at least three more years in Albany http://www.ecachockeyleague.com/news/men/albany_03-17.
