[semi-OT] CHA title game on CSTV... NOW

No score, early first.

Pull for Niagra and we get two more TUC wins. Bringing our overall TUC record to 0.7500 (if my quick calculations are correct). Meaning, as of that point, our 3-1 record against Clarkson would be irrelevant to our TUC percentage.

Thanks for the heads up!

BTW, it's pretty sad how empty that rink is :`(

Not surprising considering it is at the State Coliseum Fairgrounds in Detroit ::uhoh::

Colorful side note: this could be the last CHA title game ever, or for a while, that carries an automatic NCAA bid with it.

I believe Air Force is leaving for AH

I think the CHA will still get the auto bid for a year or two while they look for a replacement team, though.

Yeah, Air Force is moving to Atlantic Hockey to be with Army. Doesn't make any geographic sense, I know, but AHA worked out some alternate schedule so most schools only need to go to Colorado every other year.

The CHA thought they had a little Georgia school (Kennesaw State) to take their place, but they backed out before this season.

QuoteCHAT LIVE With USCHO's Matt Mackinder

Barry Becker (Detroit): What's going on in terms of recruiting a sixth team for the CHA to replace Air Force for next season. There were strong rumors that Kennesaw State was going to add Ice Hockey to its program but no news yet. Any guesses as to the long term health of the league including increasing its size to more than the minimum 6 teams. What about the possibility of some of the teams from the CCHA and WCHA that have difficulty competing coming over to the CHA?

Matt Mackinder: Kennesaw State is out. That's all the CHA office will confirm at this point. No CCHA team or WCHA team will have problems coming to the CHA, though travel might be an issue for some of the Minnesota teams and teams in that area. A five-team CHA I can't see happening for more than a year or two, so I would hope something gets squared away by April or May.

I believe someone told me that the NCAA rule is that you can apply for a waiver, but, if you get two autobids while on waiver, then when you get off waiver, you don't get autobids for another two years. But, um, I can't back that up.

Halftime, still no score.
