In response to Gary Finniss' request, here is information I have collected
and tried to keep up to date for several years. Bill Fenwick has been
especially helpful with ECAC pairings, CCHA material is readily available
to me and the WCHA an HE stuff is gleaned from the mailings.
I would appreciate any corrections or additions.
