I step out of the house for 25 minutes to go get a Starbucks and pick up my dog at Ruffin It Doggie Day Car and I come back to find that Adam Wodon put this on my facebook page, 'conference call set for 5 CT ... looks like league will announce addition of BSU and UNO for 2010-11.' All I can say is Welcome aboard BSU and UNO you will make fine additions to the Best league in college hockey the WCHA.
Bemidji State and Nebraska-Omaha will be officially admitted to the Western Collegiate Hockey Association on Friday afternoon and begin play in the league in 2010-11, sources have confirmed to the News Tribune. A WCHA teleconference call is scheduled for 5 p.m.
The decision to expand from 10 to 12 teams came Thursday night following two days of talks within the league, and with Omaha school officials. It's believed that WCHA athletic directors agreed in principle with terms negotiated between commissioner Bruce McLeod and the incoming schools, and an official vote on admission will be taken today by school faculty representatives. Eight of 10 votes is required for admission.
McLeod told the News Tribune on Thursday afternoon that there had been new developments in the situation and that an announcement was due as early as today. [Rink and Run] [University of North Dakota Hockey]
