Steve, You're right. In the first few years of the HEA, they played an interlock with the WCHA. I thought it was dropped because of the NCAA restriction on game #'s. Speaking of number of games allowed. What is the NCAA regular season max and does the ECAC have a lesser number? I do remember hearing that the ECAC counted Alaska games while the NCAA does not.
