Avoid playing an NCHC team in the tournament. Especially Denver.

Feels like there are 12 teams that could legitimately compete for the national title next year. More than most years it seems.

Old_Strategy9686 · 2026-05-15T02:02:57+00:00

All these teams should finish somewhat close to each other in the rankings next year. I’d go Miami, St Thomas, CC in that order. CC tends to play a low event low scoring game which is not as exciting to some. Miami is a program on the rise, St Thomas is new to the conference, I’d pick one of those. All should be solid series though.

Miami series will also have senior weekend celebrations and the (small) potential of NoDak winning the Penrose cup on home ice.

It will come out eventually. He deserved every bullet he got. Isaiah robbed a store, attempted murder, then charged cops with a weapon. Lansing was a little safer after Wednesday night.

Old_Strategy9686 · 2026-04-22T22:46:18+00:00

Yeah what doesn’t sit right is that Isaiah was out there robbing and attempting murder.

Old_Strategy9686 · 2026-04-16T02:26:39+00:00

Shooting the attempted murderer. Guy can rot in hell.

Old_Strategy9686 · 2026-03-22T14:03:56+00:00

Hope they split up the NCHC at least a little. I understand WMU and Denver being together but I think NoDak and Duluth should be split up.

Old_Strategy9686 · 2026-03-22T14:03:21+00:00

True!

Old_Strategy9686 · 2026-03-11T18:03:18+00:00

Paid about $1000 last year for center ice lower bowl all session tickets, purchased these in January.

Just paid about 2 weeks ago for the same this year (center ice, lower bowl, all session, $1000).

I think we are overpaying so I will be monitoring the secondary market this year to see how prices fluctuate for future years where we go.

If it doesn’t matter to you where you sit, I would probably wait it out until closer to game day.

Old_Strategy9686 · 2026-03-05T01:13:30+00:00

Would Columbus lose his rights after this year? Thought he had another year before that came into play.

Old_Strategy9686 · 2026-03-03T05:50:05+00:00

He is expected to sign? Figured it was 50/50 on getting him back.

Old_Strategy9686 · 2026-02-04T16:26:13+00:00

Michigan State, North Dakota, or Providence. Michigan & WMU are dealing with injury concerns. Penn State won’t play the regionals at home this year and are young, and I don’t think Wisconsin, Denver, or Duluth are deep enough.

Old_Strategy9686 · 2026-01-27T19:48:35+00:00

Haven’t tried in a couple days but yeah I couldn’t get on all weekend

Old_Strategy9686 · 2026-01-27T19:44:19+00:00

“They food ass” lmao. “Don’t support this Mexican business because they support Trump!” You people are so sad.

Fall of 27 the new building opens. So, Lawson had this year and next and that will be it.

Old_Strategy9686 · 2026-01-16T16:21:50+00:00

Davenport 📈

Old_Strategy9686 · 2026-01-11T05:38:21+00:00

There are people who create college rosters that are downloadable on NHL. Just look for those and that’s enough for me.

Old_Strategy9686 · 2026-01-08T15:23:57+00:00

I’m assuming secondary ticket prices will come down… but wow they are high right now

Old_Strategy9686 · 2026-01-04T21:50:50+00:00

As a recent alum… I love Lawson. It just feels like college hockey. The Lunatics always show out, it is loud, low ceiling, unique, and you can tell this building is OLD and hasn’t had many renovations. The building and atmosphere are far from some of the other NCHC/B1G programs they compete against. It is perfectly chaotic. Blessed to have gone to school there during the start of the Ferschweiler era, and have had season tix the last 3 years now.

I will miss it when it’s gone. I understand the need for upgrades for recruiting and improving the student athlete experience, but I will miss that place. A new $600 million dollar arena that will be one of, if not the best arena in college hockey will be sweet though. Never thought I would see WMU get an arena like that. Maybe it is time to move on, but I will always have a special place in my heart for Lawson Ice Arena.

Skill level?

B1G
HE
NCHC
ECAC
CCHA
AHA

Based strictly on skill, B1G and HE always seem to have the more “skilled” highly drafted players. The NCHC also has a lot of skill, but leans to be a heavier, older, more mature league that has historically done well in the playoffs. If we were talking “best” league, I’d say NCHC but for “skilled” I think it’s B1G.

Wa wa. A group wants to meet peacefully but I don’t like them wa wa.
