For the first time people are going to witness 3 conferences within a
NCAA Division I hockey league the WCHA. The good fans of the WCHA are
going to be so happy to have a WCHA team outside its conference travel
to your arena for just one game then clean and shower and jump in a bus
or plane or perhaps a dogsled in Alaska. Then another team will fly or
travel to your arena for the next game. This format is so ridiculous is
like a big nightmare. Not only will the fans of the WCHA be robbed of
seeing a regular visiting WCHA team (out of conference) play at your
home arena twice but it will have to endure regular season records that
will not give you the REAL PICTURE of the WCHA.  I can't wait until next
year when Hockey-L tries to put a top 10 or 25 team listing together.
The network will be overloaded with responses that will say "My team
should be on that poll because there in a tougher conference in the
WCHA" The league standings will also represent records mostly made up of
the successes of one teams conference, unlike today where everybody
plays everyone 4 times for true standings.
