Here's a summary of what I have found out about the number of
interconference games.
HE has far more diversity of schedule than any other conference, while the
western teams have, on average, only about 2 non-conference opponents. The
ECAC is in the middle (Ivies pull down the average). One WCHA team (St.
Cloud) did not play any Division I games outsite it's conference. While BC
played ten different non-conference opponents.
While I know that the 4 game, home-home series used in the west puts a
severe limit on the number of NCO a western team can have, can anyone
explain why some western teams have 0 or 1 NCO? Is is budget or travel
problems?
