    I highly doubt a school like UA_ will actually apply unless they know they have the votes so they probably have "applied" as far as the 3 rumors were, but nothing "official" yet.

        It makes sense to want to go to 8, and I guess if all things are equal in other areas, relatively close proximity is a selling point.
        Nice reply from a Gopher....how's your program looking these days? Last I checked, the best program in the state, hands down is UMD.

            I have a few comments:

            1. I am rooting for LSSC to get into the WCHA. The 3 MN teams and 3 Yooper teams seem like a great base to me (how about a MN Cup or Yooper Cup for the schools who win the most conference games? Sorry).

            LSSC became LSSU 23 years ago.

                  Just beat me to it Squarebanks...

                  That is probably a good sign. We just have to hope there are no erupting volcanoes, rumbling earthquakes, early freeze warnings, and that his luggage also accompanies him on his flight. Other than that were good to go.

                  I found it interesting that the Nooks spent about $2.4m on hockey operations last year, second highest in the CCHA. Not surprising really, just interesting. It will also be interesting to see if there are opportunities to show community support during his visit.

                  I'm sure McLeod has been to Anchorage before, but this may be his first opportunity to actually visit Alaska.

                  Now, where did my daughter store her old high school cheer pom-poms....

                    Thanks, I needed a good laugh today - and your post is one of the single most ridiculous things I've read on this site in a long time. Kudos.

                      I agree with you, I mean the head of the WCHA is visiting Fairbanks, and the U in August. UAF has "applied" one way or another.
                      All that was left, then, was for the Nanooks to celebrate with their fans. And for the Seawolves to get one last earful of the rowdies from Fairbanks.

                        I agree, if he's coming up then it's moved past the idle chit-chat phase.

                          The Central Collegiate Hockey Association is seeking to survive by replacing the major schools that have abandoned its ranks with smaller schools from the East Coast. CCHA officials met Tuesday with Mercyhurst, Canisius, Niagara and Robert Morris.

                          Mr Cole may need a slight lesson in geography. None of the schools talking to the CCHA is any closer to the east coast than Fairbanks is to Anchorage. Canisius and Niagara are in the Buffalo area, about 375 miles away. Robert Morris is in Pittsburgh and Mercyhurst is in Erie, PA.

                            Anything on the "other side" of the Mississippi is the east coast, ...or close enough.

                                Like saying Fairbanks is a school on the Pacific Ocean.
