The ECAC Women's League will have Niagara and Maine joining next season.
That will bring the number of teams to 14, with 26 league games counting.
The two new teams will not have travel partners but will split their
schedule with home and home series (so you go to Maine for two and have
Niagara visit for two).
 
Look for a Hockey East Women to start in the next few years.  I also
believe there will be a Division I Midwest Women's league soon.  The ECAC
Alliance (Div III) will have additional members next season also.
 
In the first Women's National Championship match at the FleetCenter before
the Hockey East Championship, the women's final will feature, if needed, a
10 minute overtime session, followed by a shootout (beats endless OT's).
