Hope Miami can get back in the Tourney within 5 seasons
Today there are 4 more games on TV. ESPNU has games at 12, 3, and 6 and ESPN News has one ay 8:00. NCHC went 2-1 yesterday, Western Michigan plays at noon and St. Cloud at 8.
If Michigan, WMU, and Minnesota win today (certainly possible, maybe even probable) then there will be no eastern teams left.
Of course, the Worcester region gives home ice advantage to Massachusetts schools that don’t deserve it, so I’m not sure how likely it is that both WMU and Minnesota advance. But it’s good to see that lousy Worcester tradition continues for another March.
Edit: I forgot about Quinnipiac. So 1 out of 8 is from the East.
WM wins in OT, their first NCAA win ever ( previously 0-7). One game from the Frozen Four!

Crazy isn’t it? Since joining the NCHC, Western has become the best they’ve ever been in history.

Almost as though being a MAC school doesn’t mean you don’t have the resources to compete in the NCHC

Western has found value in hockey. When schools find value in programs (academic or athletic) they teams to come up with a plan for success.
Also, Minnesota State beats Notre Dame 1-0
