It appears that women's ice hockey has reached 40 varsity teams today.
Vermont upgraded its ECAC Alliance club side to a varsity squad today with
Dennis Miller continuing as coach.
 
In recent weeks, Bemidji State became an independent DI varsity side and
St. Thomas became a DIII varsity in the new MIAC league.
 
The result is:
ECAC League: 14 DI varsity sides
ECAC Alliance: 15 DIII varsity sides (only Bates will be a club)
Minnesota Intercollegiate: 6 DIII varsity sides
Independent DI varsities: 3 - Minnesota, Mankato State, Bemidji State
Independent DIII varsities: 2 - Chatham, Wisconsin-Superior
 
Add that all up and you have the 40 varsity teams we need for an NC$$
National Title!
 
Get the red flags ready as May Day is upon us!!!
