  • Who'd of thunk it - 2 CHA teams in the Big Skate

    What a way to go out; thanks to Bemidji's great year, and upset at the hands of Niagara, it appears the CHA is going out with a bang. Now, if only UAH can win a bit one at Dwyer tomorrow!

    I smell a tank job to get two teams in.

      The at-large bubble is one team smaller. Well played by Niagara.

        And here I'd spent all afternoon thinking about how the Chargers had to beat Bemidji.

        The HECK!?

          Nothing against Niagara, but with all UAH has had to go through this year (and possibly in the future), heres hoping UAF goes to the tournament.

            Well, they have their hands full, being down a game to NMU... but they're a good team and their destiny is in their hands.

                I was under the impression that a team had to have an over .500 record to qualify for the final 16...regardless if you won your conference tourney or not. Thought this was put in place after Wisconsin made it in a couple years back. ?????

                    If you win your conference tournament, your record doesn't matter.

                      If Niagara wins, 2 AHA teams in the big skate.

                      Home ice in the playoffs is tough. I think that's why the CHA tournament was in Kearney, Nebraska one year.

                        First CHA tournament? Held in Huntsville. Niagara, the "home" team as the highest seed, beats UAH for the win. Niagara goes on to the NCAA's as an at-large [no AQ for the CHA until a few more years pass] and upsets UNH; Charger fans sit and home and seethe about losing on our home ice.

                        Last CHA tournament? Held in Niagara. UAH, the "home" team as the higher seed ... well, we shall see.

                          Then the final 16 will be a joke this year. Some legitimate team from the WCHA, Hockey East or the CCHA will not make the tournament and will have played a tougher schedule with real competition. A 4 team conference that can't compete when playing outside of their conference (except for Bemidji) should only be allowed one entry.

                            UAH coach Danton Cole is a former Spartan great. Best of luck to the Chargers tomorrow!

                              In talking about the fortunes of the CHA getting two teams in earlier tonight with JJfP she pointed out the irony of UAH possibly getting in and quite possibly knocking a bubble CCHA team right out of the tourney. ALaska, MSU, Ferris and Northern Michigan are all nervous right now.
