    I really don't believe that the travel is the main issue here for leaving UAH, Alaska and Alaska-Fairbanks out. Those three schools subsidize travel costs and they have to make the long trips for EVERY road series. It probably is a factor, but not the main one.

    The issue is the uncertainty with the life of these three programs. When the seven teams announced their intent back last summer, the Alaska Legislature was in the process of cutting the UA System budget in half. Athletics was going to see a majority of those cuts. Top that off with Anchorage moving from the city run Sullivan Center (6000 seats) to the on campus Wells Fargo Student Center (750-1000 seats). Fairbanks has put in notice that they may have to leave the Carlson Center for their on-campus arena, the Patty Center (1200 seats), due to the ice plant failing at the Carlson Center and the City of Fairbanks not having the funds to replace it. Currently, the WCHA bylaws state that your arena must have 2500 seats and has stipulations as to what must be included in the visiting locker room areas. If I recall correctly, when Fairbanks traveled to Anchorage earlier this year, they could not get into the visiting locker room the required time before the game (I want to say they got in 60-90 minutes before game time) due to a swim meet going on in the Student Center.

    As for UAH, there always seems to be an air of uncertainty with their program, and this year is no different. Even though the Alabama Board of Regents have given the green light to work on getting an on campus arena owned by the school, they have allocated $0 for the project or study. But yet they can do $100 million upgrades to the Crimson Tide football stadium, locker rooms and practice facility.

    Not my first choice, but no use looking back and second guessing. Hopefully the teams can prosper in the new CCHA.
    And no clue as to what will happen to Alaska, UAA and UAH.

    Looking forward to that last weekend as well. Not many WCHA men's titles left to be had.

    Really torn for this weekend with BSU on a bye. I would love to see Mankato get swept, and thereby keeping the Beavers within five points of them. But if that happens, Northern would be within a point of the Beavers for the second spot.

    If Mankato sweeps, they will open up an 11 point lead on the Beavers, but Northern would remain seven points back.

    A split is probably the best outcome to hope for as a Beaver fan. Mankato would only be eight points ahead with a bye next week. Northern would remain four points back and would be hosting the Beavers next weekend.

    This is one of the best times of the year!

    Third straight Saturday where the Mavs trailed 2-0 going into the third. Not a good trend. 0-6 on the power play.

    Mavs score with 56 seconds to play.

    Score again with one second left to send it to OT. No one scores so they go to 3 on 3. For NCAA purposes, it goes as a 2-2 tie.
    But the winner gets an extra point in the WCHA standings.

    Mavs score with 30 seconds to go in the 3 v 3!

    Bemidji wins so they are within 5 points of the Mavs.
