Re: North Star College Cup-Final Year??
With Notre Dame joining the Big Roll-a-D20 for hockey, it will more than likely bring them up to 24 conference games (I don't know if there's anything concrete to support that, but with 7 teams and they already play each other 4 times in that league for 20 games, it's at least a hypothesis). Given this is centered around smaller Minnesota schools wanting to play UMTC as it was in the old WCHA, let's consider their schedule. 24 conference games (assumed), add 2 for the Mariucci tournament, and with a 34 game limit, leaves four weekends (let's assume they don't pull a Michigan and start doing one-and-dones).
Not to mention, how much revenue does the tournament generate each year? Is it at least a positive number? If not, all school involved are better off just trying to bring in some other teams across the nation.

Re: North Star College Cup-Final Year??
There was a blurb in today's StarTribune that the Gophs and UMD had signed into a four series over five year contract with home and home series each year. It starts with the 2018-19 season. That would make sense if the North Star Cup is on the way out.Millsy

Originally posted by BSUBeavs View PostI hope that doesn't mean we won't get Minnesota on the schedule anymore. If the North Star Cup does get scrapped I would love to see BSU get as many of the MN schools as possible on the schedule. We already play Mankato and UMD every year anyways but would love to get a home and home or alternating series with both SCSU and UMN. Not sure if it could work out with the limited weekends available but would love to see it happenMillsy

Sounds like it is done. Too bad as I hoped it could grow into something really cool...but it just wasn't in the cards.tUMD Hockey

Originally posted by St. Clown View PostExactly. The tournament needed the Gophers to be successful to their fans would have a reason to show up en masse. Since the Gophers have never won the thing (have they even won a single game in the tournament?), their casual fans weren't interested. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the tournament has been a net money loser."It ain't over, baby! And that took only six seconds!"

They have not won a game since. In 2015 they lost twice, with BSU winning. In 2016 they lost twice, with SCSU winning.
