    The WCHA is still sticking around in 2013. Just like how the ECAC stuck around when the eastern non-ivies decided to split off.

        Here is my, far too early prediction (I usually like to wait until about August to put together an actual prediction):
        1. Minnesota
        2. North Dakota
        3. Denver
        4. St. Cloud State
        5. Nebraska Omaha
        6. Wisconsin
        7. Michigan Tech
        8. Minnesota Duluth
        9. Colorado College
        10. Bemidji State
        11. Minnesota State Mankato
        12. Alaska Anchorage

        As for the WCHA Tournament, I'll take North Dakota to capture their 4th straight Broadmoor.

          As noted above, this isn't the end of the WCHA, just the end of the behind closed doors, under the table, it's not about money, this had to be done, it's what's best for hockey, we didn't want to join anyway - oh wait you want us - ok we'll join, WCHA as we know it today.

          My against all odds prediction is that somehow that math works out such that UAA, BSU, MSU and MTU tie for first with the other 8 tied for second. After eliminating the 5th and 6th seeds at the Final Five, the remaining four real WCHA teams toss their sticks into center ice and play four competitive mixed-squad pick-up games and declare that UAH is awarded the WCHA auto-bid to the NCAA tourney. This also works out by eliminating the need to have any hardware shipped back to the new league offices the week after the season ends.

          September 2013 can't come soon enough.

            Has a thread ever been won this early?

            I declare a winner.

              Outstanding take. I have nothing to add.

                How could you not have bolded the above part as well?

                    Re: The last wcha champ!!!!!!

                    Seems like after Minnesota and North Dakota, the WCHA gets pretty soupy.....
                    Minnesota is Frozen Four caliber, NoDak could be too. The middle of the pack might be on the NCAA bubble

                    3. Denver is very thin up front, but should have solid D and G when healthy.
                    4. Wisconsin due to rebound and make NCAA's with Zengerle
                    5. UNO - Capable of rebounding too on the NCAA bubble
                    6. St. Cloud - Need Hanowski to stay
                    7. Duluth - What's left on offense?
                    8. CC -
                    9. MTU
                    10. Mankato St.
                    11. Bemidji
                    12. Anchorage

                      Believe me, I wanted to. But then I'd just be bolding the entire thing and I just liked the vision of the mixed-team games I guess. And the UAH part.

                        If he stays I expect higher than 6th for them, maybe as high as 3rd.

                          Agreed. Depending on what happens with early departures, SCSU could very well finish in the top 2 of the league and contend for the MacNaughton.

                            There will be a handful of departures that will drastically change this before the first puck is dropped.
