In my never-ending effort to while away the time until hockey season starts, I
was looking in the _College Hockey Record Manual_ in the CCHA section, and I
noticed that, while Western Michigan did not join the CCHA until the 1975-76
season (at least according to the standings), they participated in the CCHA
tournament the previous two seasons... both times as the #4 seed (there were
only three teams in the CCHA in 73-74 and 74-75).
Any CCHA historians or long-time fans know how that happened? Was Western
Michigan some sort of affiliate member, like Alaska-Fairbanks was a few years
ago? Or were they "invited" to be the fourth seed? It doesn't look like
Western Michigan was at the Division I level before 1975-76.
