That certainly appears a possibility this year with
CC Denver and North Dakota in the west and
Maine, BC, and UNH in the east
A scenario like this almost GUARANTEES a matchup between two teams from the same
conference for the right to go on to the frozen four.
I know there are issues of geographic proximity at the division 2 level in
other sports to cut travel expenses. It seems to me that it might be
reasonable to have the third (and 4th) teams from a conference go to the
other regional.
For example, Denver has played North Dakota four times, will play them a
5th time in the WCHA championship game, and most likely will play them again
in the west regional.
If we look at maine, unh, and bc
bc has played unh 3 times already, will play them again today and might
play them in the regional
bc has played maine 3 times already, and might play them in the regional
maine has played unh 3 times already, and might play them in the regional
