    Maybe there will be some changes now that the egos have been removed from Ann Arbor and East Lansing.

        Make no mistake, the ego is still in Ann Arbor.

            I don't think it's so much the egos, as simply getting as many home games as possible. Bergeron has said from the beginning that "we're not going to play anybody that's not willing to play us on equal terms." And they've stuck with it.

            If teams were willing to do 2 for 1, why wouldn't you? If the smaller schools would have stuck together, and nobody settled for a 2 for 1 agreement, they wouldn't have happened. The big schools need the little schools as much as vice versa.

                I didn't watch either Alaska game, but I watched parts of FSU-NMU, MTU-LSSU, and BSU-UMD on WCHA.tv, all with a native app on a Fire TV streaming off of my LTE hotspot (way to go, Fire TV, for not supporting WPA2-Enterprise so I could use the NASA BYOD wifi network). All three feeds looked great. I still had to put up with the truly weird intonations of the LSSU PBP guy, but it was a very good experience all told. I do wish that they had a Roku app, because my new office TV is a Roku-based TV (which, okay, whatever, it's 4K HDR for under $350 at 43"). I really can't believe how good it was.

                  I beg to differ.
                  Just to be clear. My disinterest in this team became of the Uni's disinterest. Without the success of the hockey team, the other teams would not be where they are. Way to pay back the hockey team. **** UAA.

                    NMU@FSU looked like horsesh** for me. There was interlacing and really bad artifacting at times. It appeared to be a 480i camera with 720p graphics.

                    The ASU@AF game looked miles better. 1080p quality.

                        I would say the bottom teams made significant progress on being better this year. It's really noticeable. It would have been better if Bg had won the comparison vs MSU but it is what it is. Look our for NMU. If they can get points next week it would be big for the league. This is going to be a fun year for everyone.

                              Yeah, I wouldn't say they're that improved yet. Maybe they're looking more competitive in games, which is good, but until it shows up in wins, it doesn't help much. It would have been really nice if the Alaska schools could have each gotten one last weekend, and it looked like they could have, but just came up short.

                                I realize my comment doesn’t resonate with the “but what have you done for me lately” philosophy.
                                But I would like to point out that through the 2016-17 season of the nWCHA, UAA had the highest winning percentage in NC games, and UAF was tied for 2nd. And as pointed out, we both played some close games this year but couldn’t seal the deal. But even at that, through our short 4+ year history, UAA still has the 3rd highest winning percentage in NC games and UAF the 4th. BGSU and MTU are 1 & 2 respectively.
