      Ladies and Gentlemen, a big welcome to Wilkes University. Should be a big rivalry with Kings.

          With the rapid expansion of the ECAC West, the loss of UNE and the rumored loss of St. A's and St. Mike's, is there any chance the NEHC could entice one of the existing ECAC West members to defect to their conference? Perhaps Utica to serve as travel partners with Skidmore?

                      I wonder if the MAC is trying to get their 7 teams so that they can have their own conference in hockey, too, and split from the ECAC-West leaving them in the cold again.

                        13 is too big for a D3 conference. Given a 25 game count, 10 seems to be the max for a conference. If we split the ECAC-W in two and poach Morrisville....

                        I can get the MAC to 7: Chatham, Kings, Wilkes, Manhattanville, Neumann, Lebanon Valley,and Stevenson.

                        I can get the ECAC-W to 6: Morrisville, Canton, Elmira, Hobart, Nazareth, and Utica.

                        Some D3 school in NYS needs to start a hockey program.

                        It is RIT's fault.

                          I wonder what the latest is with NYU. Supposedly they were looking to go D3. Canton might be doable. Not sure about Morrisville as they are already in a conference. I guess we'll see, but it sure looks like the MAC is preparing to pull away.
                          Even 11 teams is too much for 1 conference. I don't think playing 20 conference games is a good thing.

                            Back in the days of the ECAC East before the split, there were 18 teams and they played each other once per year.

                                With the interlock that was true, but Castleton and St. Mikes were added later, and we had MCLA (aka North Adams) for 9 non-NESCAC teams, and Tufts played in the ECAC NE, so there were 9 NESCACS. Teams came and went but typically there were 18. Travel partners were regional rather than by league (for example, NU and Midd were partners). Of course all of this may have been in place before you were born
