The three divisions were East (basically, the core of what is now Hockey East), the Ivies, and the Empire (the NY non-Ivies: SLU, Clarkson, etc...). Teams played home and home against members of their own division, and one game against each other opponent. It was a very practical method of scheduling within a large (17 team) conference, and it also helped build on natural rivalries beyond the overarching league structure. Greg Cambridge, MA Let's Go Red! Anybody from SLU or Clarkson interested in getting together for a beer, mail to me privately.
