      They'd have to be able to read for that to happen. And know what the word appalled means.

          In SoCal there is a huge bandwagon effect. Ducks won the cup a few years back and the Kings just eliminated the Sharks in the playoffs. Ice Hockey is very popular here now. Ducks and Kings have a large fan-base here, game tickets are expensive, and games are usually sold out. However, Dodgers and Clippers have lots of empty seats and cheap tickets.

          Wish we had College D1 ice hockey here instead of club teams.

            The new National Collegiate Hockey Conference expects to make “two pretty big announcements by Wednesday of next week,” commissioner Jim Scherr said on Tuesday.
            I saw this story was already leaked at another college hockey site so I figure I would post it here. The two big announcements are that Denver and UND are breaking away from the NCHC to form their own "super-elite-mega-like-minded" conference comprised of themselves and UAH. Denver head coach GD was quoted as saying "This was something we had to do to protect the Denver brand of hockey. The NCHC was just getting too diluted with filler teams and was really loosing its 'like-mindedness". There were too many free thinkers in the room and we need to keep more of a strangle hold on our own future. I think our fans will like the shorter 8-game conference schedule we have set up. Plus the addition of UAH should boost our winning percentage and will make it easier for fans to know where all of the teams in our new conference are located. From what I've been told that is what has been keeping attendance down recently. Not to mention helping UAH gets us the sympathy vote again, and gosh knows we need it with all the bridges we've burned. And also I would like to thank our own AD for giving me supreme power, even though I hear she is pretty smart herself."
            This announcement left the remaining members of the NCHC a bit off balance. One AD who commented off the recorded stated "That was really a low blow by those two programs to go and do something like this without our knowledge. Who do they think they are? They told us that we were all special and were going to be part of the super conference with them. This was a set up all along..."

              Didn't Michigan Tech leave the WCHA at one point? So it is only okay for them to come and go from the conference as they please, and not other teams?

                  They did. With other "like minded" teams, strangely enough. But that was different. They were one of the "haves" of college hockey at that time.
                  That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                    MTU leaving was a horse of a different color than a bunch of teams forming a new league to leave other schools out in the cold.

                    The Kings didn't eliminate the Sharks (I wish), we beat the 'Nucks.

                    And a 3-team, 8 game conference is stupid. It should be a 24 game regular season, the 2 seed hosts the 3 for a best of three series, the winner takes on the top seed the following Saturday at the Conference Tourney in Omaha, the non-participating team plays a split-squad 3rd place game (I'd prefer to get the USHL's Lancers instead but they'll be playing that weekend).

                          I'm more upset about when everyone left the MCHL to form the WIHL.

                          (For those interested, nobody "left" the MCHL. The teams simply changed the name of their conference to the WIHL.)

                              Why does it matter if they formed a new league or joined an existing one? They made a decision to join a league that they thought better served their interests.
