The latter was the same problem which UAH faced before joining the WCHA. There is no one available to play when all the leagues are having their playoffs.

Wait, Southern NH is an actual school? I figured by how much they advertise on TV it was another online Phoenix or Devry.

Yep. They're a D-II school in the NE-10 playing down with a D-III schedule. If you're on the interstate in Manchester, NH, you can't miss it.

Surprisingly enough, they actually have a full schedule in terms of NCAA limits. They also qualify for tournament consideration (not necessarily saying they'll make it, but the teams playing ASU may count these games).

...or finishing up their league schedules. The only exception would be one AHA team having a "bye" each week.

With only 17 games against Div 1 teams?

There are 23: UAA, UA_, UConn, SHU, 2xWI, 2xLSSU, 2xCCT, 2xRPI, 2xUNO, 2xSCSU, 2xYU, 2xBSU, 2xUML, MC.

One game vs USA U-18 and Alberta are exempt. The rest are non-exempt exhibitions.

I'll update my spreadsheet later today; not able to from my current location.

Isn't it 24 the minimum?

Twenty, hence why leagues will aim for at least that.

Yep — once everyone goes all-in for the conference tournaments, it's generally all-full in-league (save, as FlagDUDE08 noted, Atlantic Hockey and their bye weeks). In those lonely independent years, or players stacked their classes for spring semesters because they knew that they'd have more time, seeing that they'd be done by Valentine's Day.

Actually, I forgot about the Alaska exemptions... ASU is actually two games short of a full schedule.

UMD accidentally posted their tentative schedule today: http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/spo...ockey-schedule

It will be out officially tomorrow.

Yup, and they are a solid DII Basketball, Soccer and Baseball school. (National Champs in Soccer recently, I think)

Does Wisconsin still count as a Division I team?

As I understand it, those games can be exempted, but it's not a requirement that they be.
