>WCHA and ECAC please discuss them and their style?
 
I dare say that ECAC refs call the game pretty tightly; a lot
of penalties (esp. if Harry Ammian is involved). They seem to
be pretty inconsistent, but I dare say most conference's fans would
say the same thing about their refs. The best ref, IMO, is John
Gallagher and the worst, IMO, is Ammain (unless *Pierre* is
still around). Ammian is not intrinsically bad, just that
he always calls tons on penalties. He's also al inesman in
the AHL, but he thinks that when he's a ref, he has to blow
the whistle as much as when he's a linesman. But, unlike
some of the others, he's consistent... you know what you're going
to get.

>A perfect time to discuss as Final Four (Why do some say Phinal Phour?)
 
Because Final Four is apparently trademarked by the Men's and Women's
Basketball Championships. Apparently, a few years back, one of the
league's (ECAC, perhaps?) got in trouble for calling its tournament
the [conference] Final Four. So we on H-L have come up
with creative, different alternatives such as Phinal Phour,
Final Fore and Last Quartet; personally, I usually
put "Final Four (sue me)".
