With Hockey East and the WCHA with the top five ranked teams in the PWR,
I thought it would be interesting to compare the CCHA and the ECAC.
Going by PWR, both have five teams in.  Average and median are:
 
      ECAC    CCHA
AVG.  15.2    15.6
Med.  15      14.5
 
 
 6 St Lawrence
 9 Colgate
17 Rensselaer
20 Clarkson
24 Cornell
 
 7 Michigan
12 Michigan State
18 Ferris State
19 Northern Michigan
22 Lake Superior
 
Pretty even.  Lets try head to head.  League standings in parentheses.

22 games played between each league
CCHA vs ECAC:  11-9-2
CCHA @home: 5-5-1
ECAC @home: 4-3
Neutral site: 3-0-1 CCHA
 
By league standings (#2 ECAC should beat #3 CCHA)
CCHA should win 11
ECAC should win 11
 
Looks like the CCHA is the better league, although it is real close this
year.
