The standings here at USCHO don't reflect the point rules.

Yeah, USCHO is only going to recognize the official NCAA points calculations (ie., the traditional W-L-T being worth 2,0 and 1 points). This is going to confuse a lot of fans who aren't aware of how the UCHC operates. (Did me, too.)

I believe the MIAC does exactly the same, probably where the UCHC got the idea from. I like it.
Also, I felt bad for the many unaware folks that left the Aud last night after the 5v5 OT during the break.

Correct league standings are on the UCHC and collegehockeystats sites.

Not a big fan of shootouts, but the 3x3 was a blast. I've only seen it once before, and that one was maybe 1:00 long and due to multiple concurrent penalties. It's been happening a fair amount in the UCHC this year, and I'm all for it as a "2nd OT" type of deal. It's almost inevitable that somebody will score, it seems; only one conference game has gone to a shootout, IIRC.

Re: Utica College Pioneers - 2018-19 Season: Young Guns

UCHC has the same point rules as the Big Ten Hockey Conference (and perhaps others) and the D1 side of USCHO is able to show correct standings and points for them...........

Re: Utica College Pioneers - 2018-19 Season: Young Guns

Nice road-weekend for UC, especially considering they played 10 minutes of the 3rd v. Stevenson on the PK (including nearly 2 minutes of 5x3). The D has been really good of late.

Bad news is that Wilkes won twice, too. Even if they lose at Naz come Saturday, the final RS game at The Aud will decide the top seed. Pack some Tums for that one.

Fish,

No, Wilkes lost today to Manhattanville, so Utica is one game ahead of Wilkes.

Good catch. The UCHC site showed me something different, but I suppose they had a student working on it at that time. It's been corrected very recently.

Now, it looks fairly good for Utica hosting the conference. Almost a lock, as the King's game should be a shoo-in. That will be a fun weekend in any case, and no Tums need be purchased.

Utica controls its own destiny. Two wins next weekend and they have the #1 seed. However, both teams winning on Friday and a UC loss on Saturday leads to a point tie with Wilkes which remains tied after the first 2 tiebreakers. Someone else will have to determine who wins the 3rd tiebreaker....................................

My money says Wilkes has won its last game of the year, however.

Yes, on second thought, it's not a mortal lock yet. (Still getting my mind around the curious UCHC point-system, and the inaccurate conference website isn't helping much.)

Thanks, Badger. The UCHC website is still behind via the facts, but should Utica win v. King's, there's no possibility of finishing 2nd in the RS. And UC will beat King's

It'll be fun to have the UCHC FF right here at home.

Re: Utica College Pioneers - 2018-19 Season: Young Guns

A UC win over King's Friday (practically a lock) clinches #1 seed regardless of Saturday's result vs. Wilkes.
UC holds #3 tiebreaker over Wilkes due to it's better head-to-head record vs. Elmira and Manhattanville (whomever finishes 3rd).

Does any one know the dates for the UCHC semi and champion rounds are? UCHC site has February 22nd and 23rd for the semi's, March 1st (Fri) and 2nd (Sat) for the Championship. Pioneers site has Feb 23 (Sat) Feb 24 (Sun) for semi's and Mar 2 (Sat) Mar 3 (Sun) for the championship.

Re: Utica College Pioneers - 2018-19 Season: Young Guns

There is another team playing at the Aud on Friday Feb 22 and Friday March 1, so I might guess the two game series for Utica is Saturday and Sunday.
