The ECAC Belt is like the old WCW TV Championship isn't it?

E-C-W! E-C-W! E-C-W! E-C-W! E-C-W!

It is surprising that we had more talk about Brown and Yale.

BTW, RPI is taking the ECAC Belt to the North Country. They won it from Yale and successfully defended it from Brown. It's the 'Tute's first successful defense of this Belt since March 2002. (I suspect no one cares. )

You shouldn't have told us that Ralph. Now it's on.

We want that belt!

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the ECAC belt?
What is the criteria for winning it?

You don't like Clarkson?

That can't be right. I just saw a bunch of morons from Colorado, Boston, and Michigan explaining how Clarkson and St. Lawrence wasn't a real rivalry.

I knew that I shouldn't have brought it up. I guess that I now have to explain. Several years ago, might even have been close to ten, a poster on USCHO decided that there should be a Belt that was transferred between teams when one beat another, similar to wrestling Belts. A few years ago, several of us decided that we could trace the Belt back in time. Eventually we got to the first game back in 1896. All of that is in this thread http://board.uscho.com/showthread.php?t=43167.

The ECAC Belt works similarly, but just for ECAC teams.

Thanks Ralph.
Even though it doesn't seem to be worth much, keeping it could go a long way to post season action.

BTW, we haven't held The Belt since 1998.

Someone has way too much time on their hands I can only imagine the things you will come up with to post once you retire and have more time.

Goodness gracious Ralph !! You are like the Godfather on the RPI threads and I cant believe all of the information that you receive and distribute and maintain, but tracking a "belt" all the way back to 1896 ?? Yikes !! ...and I thought that I was a hockey fanatic. You ARE the MAN !!

I did relatively little of the research, but what I did was fun. Most of it was due to Sean Pickett (BU) who has a large collection of media guides and other information. We were a bit lucky that the Belt did not wander off to a D-III school or even worse a school that gave up hockey prior to the formation of the ECAC and WCHA.
