  • Big 10 Hockey Title Banners from the 1970's

    I have seen Big 10 Hockey Champion banners from the 1970's hanging in a rink or two around the country.

    Was there an official Big 10 conference for hockey at some point in that time period?

    If so, it would seem that many teams were members of the Big 10 and either the CCHA or WCHA at the same time.

    It may be best (even for the Big 10 teams) to have such an arrangement in the future as they might have a greater chance at an NCAA autobid in their current conference than if the autobid were based on Big 10 play.

    Obviously, the number of conference games in the CCHA and WCHA would need to be reduced a bit to accommodate "Big 10 play".

    The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.

          I go back to those days and I remember Big 10 champion pennants at the "Concrete Doughnut" aka the Dane Co. Coliseum. IIRC it was pretty much a mythical deal. Michigan & Michigan State were also in the WCHA back then*.
          I was pretty little at that time, but I'm quite sure about this.

          (...and for those who know me, no "Rich you were never little" blasts. I'm a Slovak Jew, not known to be little people.)

To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case, my enemy is a varmint....and a varmint will never quit...ever. They're like Viet Cong...Varmint Cong, so you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower...and that's all she wrote. Au revoir, gopher." Karl Spackler 1980
