Ok thanks. Seems like they should just be flexible with which regions play eachother like basketball. Why can't it be East vs. West and Midwest vs. Northeast.Tiger2003;719990 wrote:Because of the Frozen 4.
Winner of the West plays the Midwest winner and the East winner plays the Northeast.

Teams will play a 20-game conference schedule, playing each other team 4 times. Means each team will have room for ~15 non-conference games on the schedule. My guess is Minnesota will keep ties to Mankato, SCSU, NoDak and UMD by playing each year in non-con.

The one thing i dont like about UND draw is it looks like we will have to beat Denver once again. To me Yale has a easy bracket an should punch their ticket to St Paul with no problem. I will be very surprised if they don't get there.
I definitely will be pulling for Nebraska-Omaha hoping they can pull off some upsets and get to the Frozen Four.
I think New Hampshire will come out of there bracket. Playing at home is always nice and definitely think they could pull the upset vs Miami (Oh).
Good Luck to all WCHA Teams!!!
GO SIOUX!!!!

I picked New Hampshire mainly for the reason that they are at home. I believe that I read that Yale has faced the other three teams in their region so the familiarity will be there but I still think they will go to the FF. Once at the FF, it was a crap shoot for me. I went with Yale and BC with BC repeating.
