Do the individual conferences has "dates of first practice" that differ from the NCAA's? I have always been under the impression that the ECAC starts much later than the WCHA and CCHA. Additionally, the Ivies of the ECAC aren't allowed to start as early as the ECAC allows. Have I been misinformed? What are the scheduled "first practice", both non-ice and ice for the conferences/teams? Sara SLU '77
