With UAF, the wcha would then be big enough that an unbalanced
schedule would be dictated where there's a 2 home and one away.  if
the WCHA is clever enough to schedule things right, the midwest and
colorado members could do one trip every other year and 2 trips every
other year.  The one trip year would involve playing one alaska team friday
and the other alaska team saturday kinda like the ECAC does now with
the "travel partner" scheme.  That leaves room for the WCHA to grow to
as many as a dozen teams, should they so choose.
