While this is a tremendous acheivement, it is not to fair to compare how long it took Bowling Green (or Wisconsin) to win 600 games with how long it took teams like Harvard, Minnesota, BC, BU, Clarkson, MTU and others to win 600 games. Most of those teams started playing hockey between 1900 and 1925 and played only a handful of games per year, not 30-40 games per year. Bowling Greens winning percentage, on the other hand, is a valid comparison, as is the number of games it took for them (i.e., 1022 games played). For example, according to a quick check, it took BU 55 seasons and 59 years (they did not play in 20-21, 21-22, 443-44 and 44-45) to win 600 games. But, BU won the 600 games in 1011 games with a record of 600-379-32, a .609 winning percentage.
