    I believe Notre Dame may be the first program to appear in back-to-back Frozen Fours as a member of different conferences. Michigan has also now appeared in the Frozen Four as a representative of 4 different conferences (WIHL, WCHA, CCHA, and B1G). I don't believe any other program has accomplished that feat.

      Take a look at your in-state record since the B1G formed.

        Good summary Sean. It also doesn't look good for Minnesota Duluth. In 3 of the previous 4 instances where a conference got at least 3 teams in the Frozen Four, it was an intra-conference championship tilt (unsurprisingly).

        I get that a lot of B1G fans want to gloat about their conference's success this season, as they should...but can we just all agree that we will all cheer in unison against Michigan?
        Maybe not gloating, but one can certainly say that the title of this thread is very wrong. The B1G isn't a joke this season. We got the max possible 3 of 4 spots in the FF (due to the seeding). Very much not a joke.

          He goes back 60 plus years when michigan won most of it's titles as the reasoning behind the big10 being better than the NCHC... Can't make this stuff up. He is good for an occasional laugh though. As soon as the big10 takes a dump again next year he will be gone like a fart in the wind.

            No current Hockey East team has done it, although Boston College did make the NCAA Tournament in back-to-back years as a member of different conferences.

            BU and BC have both appeared as representatives of 3 different conferences (NEIHL, ECAC and Hockey East) and I don't believe any other eastern team has represented more than two conferences.

              The fact your conference has existed for all of a handful of years and you act like it represents all time is very telling.

              Whether or not the BTHC will be "dominant" or not I've always felt it was extremely short-sighted to rag on it as a whole because no one should realistically expect for UMi, UW and UM to remain non-competitive with their storied histories, ND not only adds a name brand but has solid leadership and has proven they can compete nationally, and with PSU and OSU clearly showing they were taking hockey seriously as well as gaining momentum it was only a matter of time before the conference became something to look at.

              All that said I think the college game is on the whole looking great. The NCHC could still earn a title with UMD, while SCSU, DU and UND will more often than compete nationally. The BTHC hopefully will maintain the recent surge and at least remain in the conversation year in and year out. HEA is slightly down from what we're used to seeing but that won't last and while other conferences will rarely match such depth, have proven for several years running teams they put into the tournament should not be overlooked.

              Now if only the Gophers can figure out their coach and back into themselves....

                Or a dump in the wind?

                    I hate to break the news to you, but conference play is a bigger deal than a small handful of non-conference games vs. in-state rivals. The fact that you have to resort to what amounts to cherry-picking little more than a couple of games out of each year is very telling.

                        I did a little more research and St. Lawrence represented two different conferences in the Frozen Four in back-to-back years. In 1961 they represented the Tri-State League and in 1962 they represented both the Tri-State League and the new ECAC.

                              Each of those conference games with what you called d2 and 1aa opponents amounted to just a handful of games each season as well but hey you seem to like your head in the sand...especially with such a despicable record against those teams lately so...your prerogative I guess.
                              As for the goalposts...I'd say you can't be that stupid...but you seem to enjoy proving otherwise.

                                I don't follow your drivel, but that's okay. All I know is the Big Ten is sending three teams to the Frozen Four, so all of you Big Ten haters can suck it.
