          Personally I think this might be one of the worst moves yet. Not only is travel going to be ridiculous (Big Rapids to Mankato plus both Alaskan teams), but you took away an auto bid from one of the smaller schools. I think the CCHA should have done more meetings with both the Atlantic and the WCHA, to see what is the best option for everyone.

            Sounds like the Atlantic schools that wanted to leave didn't want to be in a 6 team league and if LSSU and UAF both joined the WCHA that would have been a real possibility.

              To be fair there is no way the CCHA could have predicted this back then, at the time it would have been a bad idea to let them in.

                Awful move by the CCHA. It's all Tom Anastos' fault.

                  Assuming this goes through, 13 teams with Moorhead as the possible 14th. If I was Moorhead, I start looking at the travel and say no. This could be the death knell for UAH.

                      Don't like it, but what can one do. That pretty much locks up any expansion possibilities outside of the NCHC and the Big Ten. Also, it throws one more at large bid into the Tournament pool and takes it away from the smaller schools.

                            This is really a different approach. It is really a move that helps some of the CCHA team. Not sure its that big of a benefit to the handful of other WCHA teams.
