        This year this could change for UND anyways the BU terriers are
invading Engelstad to play two against the Sioux. Unfortunately they are
going to be playing during X-mas break it could be a little empty. The
Sioux also Play Western Michigan up in Michigan. Dean Blais scheduled
some tough non-conference games this year and it could be a good gauge.
        Years ago The WCHA and Hockey east played games against each
other but I am sure that the travel killed teams from both leagues. I
think the fans would love to see these match ups. I think that you should
not discount or dimiss any of the four leagues. I think the ECAC is hand
cuffed abit by their lower number of games. Or it appears that they play
a smaller number of games than the other leagues.
