Then after all that happens and Notre Dame agrees to join, perhaps the other 8 teams leave to form the once prestigious and historic NCHC.

Re: The NCHC: Just be glad its NaCHo League
The big difference between NHL playoff refereeing this year versus WCHA over the past decade is the absence of the "make-up" call. The NHL games have much better flow.
The other area that I'd like to see addressed is chopping 30 minutes of fluff off of college hockey game nights. Long national anthems, replays after every goal, 5 minutes or more of junk between periods, conferences between refs & coaches, refs and captains, refs and each other.
I'd move the national anthem to before warm-ups. Shorten the time between periods. And look to save time elsewhere.
I'd also go back to one ref and two linesmen and pay the refs more to try and improve quality.Last edited by dggoddard; 04-23-2012, 02:02 PM.

Then I went back to 2004-05 and they are all around 2:13.
The NFL shortened their games and NCAA football followed suit recently.
If you want to grow the game, get people in and out of the arena in around 2 hours.Last edited by dggoddard; 04-23-2012, 05:21 PM.

Wasn't the commish hired in January?

Originally posted by huskyfan View Postwow. and to think we call OT - "bonus hockey". but of course you DU folks have so many other things to do ...
Slower games mean less fourth line shifts, less flow to the game, probably less goals and more micro-management by the coaches.Last edited by dggoddard; 04-23-2012, 05:49 PM.

Re: The NCHC: Just be glad its NaCHo League
Last season UND lead the nation in attendance.
http://www.fightingsiou*****/ViewArt...B_OEM_ID=13500
North Dakota led the nation in total attendance (419,981) and average attendance (9,999.5) for all games - which includes home, away and neutral - and also led the country in total home attendance (249,501).
The WCHA schools transfering into the NCHA all have facilities with capacities of 5,763 or more. Also St. Cloud State which had the smallest capacity of 5763 has plans to add seating.
I understand that Western Michigan (3,667 Capicity) and Miami (3,200 capacity) have good hockey programs but it seems their facilities are not up to par. Any plans for expanded seating at Western Michigan or Miami?"For me, college hockey was obviously the best step I could have taken to get to the next level." - Jonathan Toews, North Dakota/Chicago Blackhawks
