This is a postscript to the earlier exchange today about ECAC Div. III, the SUNY schools, etc. Our coach clarified the new ECAC small college structure for me. The SUNY schools now have their own division in the ECAC, so there is now ECAC WEST, ECAC EAST and ECAC SUNY. There are about 14 teams in EAST (e.g., Babson, U.Conn, Middlebury, etc.); 7 or 8 in WEST (e.g., Canisius, Elmira, RIT, etc. If Hamilton is added, it would be the eighth); and 7 in SUNY (SUNY at Binghamton dropped hockey). This realignment has caused a change in post-season play-offs for the WEST and SUNY. The West will have a 4 team playoff; SUNY will have its own playoff and will not be part of the WEST play-offs. However, all regular season games between WEST schools and SUNY schools will count in determining the seeds for the WEST play-offs (interesting...) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Stephen E.
