Mike Chambers: Rules against fighting in NCAA hockey don't deter cheap shots

Nice article by Mike Chambers of the Denver Post. I agree with a lot of what is said here. I have been watching college hockey for a very long time, and some of the dirtiest acts of violence, I have seen,  have happened on the ice during college hockey games.

I don’t know how many times I have seen a play where I have said, "I guarantee that guy doesn’t do that in a league where there’s fighting." Do we want to see bench clearing brawls in college hockey? Nope! Not saying that at all.  
Mike Chambers, Denver Post – If that player came from the NCAA ranks, he's more likely to be a loose cannon, because college hockey has such stiff penalties for fighting, which draws a game misconduct and ensuing one-game suspension. The NCAA also mandates full facial protection with a mask. While that might seemingly make the NCAA game safer, Mitchell said what it does is encourage more cheap shots, because players don't fear retaliation.

"If you take fighting out of the game, you're going to have guys taking liberties on your top players, and trust me, that thought is in the back of their minds: 'Hey, if I'm going to go out there and do something stupid, I might have to answer the bell. Someone is going to be come looking for me,' " Mitchell said. "So if (fighting is) out of the game, they have no worries."

The semi-pro Canadian Hockey League (major junior) mimics the NHL regarding its rules, including fighting, and offers a choice of cages or visors. NCAA hockey is often dubbed "gladiators on ice," with players less fearful of opponents because of the severe fighting penalties and added facial protection. Cross checks to the face mask are delivered instead of punches to the face.

Since fighting is not part of the college game, the majority of concussions hockey players suffer are a result of contact to the head from a shoulder or elbow or having a head smashed against the boards or glass. Moreover, NCAA players often get away with landing glove punches, but just because it's not a bare fist connecting with a open face doesn't mean it isn't damaging to the head.
I had an ex-college hockey player once tell me. “I can go up and smart off to the biggest guy on the ice, because I know I don’t have to fight.”

St. Lawrence Pastes North Dakota

Grand Forks, ND – The mood was very somber after last night’s non-conference game between the University of North Dakota and St. Lawrence. The players held a closed door meeting after the game. UND caption Dillon Simpson wouldn’t say what they talked about during the meeting.

“We’ll keep that in the room,” Simpson said. “But guys are upset in there.”

UND head coach Dave Hakstol was not very happy with the over-all performance of his hockey team.

But why would he?

UND had just suffered a lackluster 5-2 loss in the first game of the Subway Holiday Classic.
“Not a very good performance by our team,” head coach Dave Haskstol.

The head coach continued. “Not a very good performance over-all by our team,”Hakstol said. “We didn’t do very much in the first two periods. We tried to mount a little push in the third period, but it wasn’t enough.”

All around, it was a rough night for the UND hockey team, as they found themselves flatfooted, and on their heels most of the night. Credit the St. Lawrence Saints; they were the better team all night long. The Saints went 3-for-6 (.500) on the power play. The Saints also outshot UND 25-23.

Special teams were a difference in last night’s game.  UND went 1-for9 on the power play, and again took undisciplined penalties at key times in the game.

“It’s frustrating,” Simpson said. “Something we’re going to study a lot (game film) tomorrow morning I am sure. We got to have a good night if we want to win games, our power play has to be good, and our “PK” has to be even better.”

One of the turning points in the game was in the third period. UND had a five-on-three power play for 44 second, but Saints were able to kill it off. If the head coach didn’t have his team’s attention before last night’s game, he probably does now. It was obvious that the loss didn’t sit well with the players.

“Disappointing, didn’t come out the way we wanted to,” Simpson said. “We didn’t play the first forty the way we wanted to. Got to have a better effort tomorrow night.”

The UND head coach was asked if there would be changes to the lineup for tonight’s game.

“You’ll see some changes, Hakstol said. We’ll likely make a change or two.”


Rough patch for UND


UND has gone 2-7-1 in its last 10 games and is winless in four games. According to UND SID Jayson Hajdu, this is UND’s worst 10-game stretch under head coach Dave Hakstol. This is also the worst stretch for UND, since the second half of the 2002-03 season, when UND went 1-7-2.

 

Notes of interest

Coming into the game, UND had gone an impressive 6-0-2 record in the last eight games of the Subway Holiday Classic.

With four points in last night’s game, forward Greg Carey of St. Lawrence , is now the leading the nation (10g-18a—28pts) in scoring.

UND is (1-2-2) in non-conference play this season. UND is (1-1-1) against the ECAC.
In the last six games, UND’s penalty kill is 25-for-36 (69.4).

UND has another chance to right the ship tonight at 7:05 p.m. central at Ralph Engelstad Arena

UND vs. SLU: Sifting through the numbers

Looking at the series ahead, UND’s (4-6-2, 3-5-0 NCHC) next opponent St. Lawrence (7-5-2, 2-2-2 ECAC) comes into this weekend’s two-game non-conference series, having lost three out of the last four games. During the month of November, the Saints have a 3-3-2 record.

UND’s month of November, the Green and White has had its problems as well. UND owns a 2-5-1 record and have gone 2-2-1 in their last five games. UND is 2-3-1 at home and 2-3-1 on the road this season. Lastly, UND has a 1-1-2 record in non-conference games so far this season.

St. Lawrence is the 4th ranked offense nationally, but are ranked 52nd nationally on defense. SLU’s power play is ranked fourth in the nation, but their penalty kill not so good and is ranked 49th. SLU has scored 54 goals for and given up 51 goals against.

UND is ranked 36th nationally on offense and 45th nationally on defense. UND’s power play is ranked at 29th nationally. On the flip side, they’re ranked 10th nationally on the penalty kill. UND has scored 32 goals for and given up 39 goals against.

Something has got to give. With SLU’s poor defense, you have to think that UND’s forwards would be licking their lips this weekend, with anticipation.

Historically Speaking
UND has had some great success in the Subway Holiday Classic. UND has a 6-0-2 record in its last eight games. Last year, UND swept the Holy Cross Crusaders (5-2 and 3-2) Subway Holiday Classic. Incidentally, that was UND’s only sweep of the season at home last season.

Here’s some ticket Information UND hockey office. Go out and buy your tickets for this weekend’s non-conference series.
Reserved seating and general admission tickets remain available for both games this weekend.

Additionally, a special “Black Friday” promotion will be available on Friday morning. From 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Friday, all remaining upper bowl seats will be sold for $20 for adults and $15 for children/youth.

Tickets can be purchased at the UND Box Office at Ralph Engelstad Arena or online at Ticketmaster.com.

College Hockey top 20 Strength of Schedule


Today, I took the top 20 teams for strength of schedule in NCAA for Division I college hockey. If you look at the numbers you can see that Miami, UND, SCSU and Minnesota have played some of the toughest schedules to date. I got these numbers from the KRACH. You can draw your own conclusions from the numbers if you want.

UND Hockey: More on the Shootout


The NCAA hockey season kicked off this past weekend with a series of exhibition games and three regular season games. The newly founded National Collegiate Hockey Conference is set to begin play this season. The NCHC will use the shootout to break ties during conference match-ups, if the game is tied after a standard five-minute overtime period.  

Like I mentioned in an earlier article, while this move is going to be a controversial to some NCHC hockey fans, I think it’s a smart move by the NCHC to adopt the shootout.  Why not? To me, it seems like a no-brainer.  According to College Hockey Inc., Division I College hockey is responsible for providing and supplying about 30 percent of the players that play in the NHL. If Division I college hockey is going to continue to be a top development league and a route to the NHL, College hockey rules “should” closely mirror those of the NHL. I believe this is a move in the right direction.

Last night during the exhibition game the Manitoba Bison, at the end of the game, the two teams had a shootout. It was a practice run for UND. UND outscored the Bison 2-0 with UND goalie Zane Gothberg stopping both Bison shooters that he faced.

In interviewing some of the players on the UND Hockey team, they do seem excited about the prospects of the NCHC using the shootout to break ties. This past week, UND goalie Zane Gothberg was asked about the new league and unsolicited he brought up the shootout.

“I am looking forward to it, especially with the shootouts that they’ll have at the end of the game, if there’s a tie,” Zane Gothberg said. That will be kind of cool.

Junior forward Michal Parks was asked about his thoughts on the shootout and this is what he had to say.

“I like it,” Parks said. “It will make our game more like the NHL game.”

To be honest with you, I am excited about the shootout as well. I think it’s going to be an exciting feature of the NCHC. I also believe the fans, for the most part, will embrace them.

NCAA Hockey: Focus on CFB's

Each year, we hear what the NCAA Ice Hockey Rules Committee wants the on-ice officials to focus on. This year is no different. This season, the NCAA wants the officials to project the puck carrier and focus on checking from behind penalties. During the WCHA preseason teleconference, Greg Shepherd, the Head of Officials for the WCHA talked about this.

This is what Greg Shepherd had to say during the WCHA preseason media teleconference on the checking from behind calls.

"Last year in the WCHA we had 47 majors and games for checking from behind," Greg Shepherd said. "If you see a player, his numbers and you hit him from behind into the boards, I don't care if the player gets up or not, thank God that he does. It's going to be five and a game. There's no gray area. The officials will be held accountable to make that call. "

So, my question is, how long will the refs call the checking from behind calls tight before they back off? Thoughts?

NCAA Cabinet Approves Change to NCAA Tournament Process

This week, this is one of the big news stories to come out for college hockey. In a nut shell, the small schools in Division I college hockey are lobbying the NCAA to tweak the NCAA selection criteria to reflect wins on the road. It appears that they have been successful with their efforts. The small schools’ quip is that the certain schools – more specifically the big division I schools – won’t travel to small schools arenas and play them.

That’s not a problem with my favorite team UND, they have a tradtion of making trips to nonconference games.

Some of these schools feel that they’re getting a raw deal when it comes time for the NCAA tournament for bids to the NCAA hockey tourney and they’re being left out in the cold, because they didn’t qualify for the NCAA tourney. Their reason, they claim, is that they are being punished for too many nonconference losses in other teams’ barns

Now, I do believe that there is “some” validity to those claims. Obviously, if your team has too many nonconference losses you’re not going to make the NCAA tourney. Recently, I can think of a couple of teams in the past that this bit in the rear end, because of their bad out of conference record. Also, I think a few teams “just” slipped into the NCAA tourney that would have probably made it with ease if they didn’t have as many bad losses. I also believe the math would probably support this assertion.

As we know in college hockey, not all things are equal. I also believe that there’s a downside to this, the big schools aren’t going to want to travel to a AHA team’s rink and play in front of much smaller crowds than they’re used to playing in front of. So, they will just find big schools to schedule out of conference series with. I do believe the teams that have less will still be left out in the cold.

Moving forward I am surprised there’s isn’t more pushback against this new possible rule change. First, by not having as many home games, these teams are also going to lose money because of them having less home games that they use the revenue from to fund the rest of their athletic department. Also, some of the ECAC schools only have “X” numbers of nonconference game that their schools allow them to play.
College Hockey News – Many coaches have been clamoring for changes in recent years, but, in light of the impending major conference re-alignment coming this season, the issue got particular attention at this year's coach's convention and Men's Ice Hockey Committee meetings.

The concern has been that a big difference in the amount of home and away games, puts teams from the smaller conferences — who, on average, play more road non-conference games — at a disadvantage in the selection criteria.

For example, among teams in the new Big Ten, Wisconsin has 14 non-league games, 10 home and four away; Ohio State has 14 non-league games, 11 home and three away; and Minnesota has 16 non-league games, 12 at home (including a tournament at the Xcel Center) and four away.

The details are still unknown, but there were a number of proposals on the table when the issue was being discussed over the summer. One proposal, for example, would re-balance the RPI (Ratings Percentage Index) evenly among home and road games — removing the advantage.

It's not yet known, however, which form the changes will take.
Moving forward, I think you’re going to see more Christmas tourneys and matchups between the bigger more attractive schools. I don’t know if in the end, the small schools will actually benefit from this rule. They will get punished less in the mathematical equation for losing on the road.

The Commissioner Josh Fenton of the NCHC was on the Fan 1390 out of Saint Cloud, Minnesota two days ago and you can listen to the interview at [this link]. At the 6:20 mark of the interview there is a discussion about UND fans not being happy about the national television situation. Nothing real controversial, but the radio host did mention it.
