Message from SCSU President Earl H. Potter III

I am wondering if this refutes this statement; -> “We expected to be in conversations about being in a new league,” Potter said today “But as we looked at it ... we intended to say ‘no.’ ” [Previous statement from SCSU President Earl H. Potter III]

Center Ice Club:

We know that there are numerous rumors circulating about St. Cloud State’s hockey program, most of which are false. St. Cloud State is engaged in sensitive conversations about the future of college hockey and we are unable to engage in public conversations. The one rumor that we can clarify is that St. Cloud State was never invited to join the new conference and thus we did not turn down an invitation.

Also know that we are working diligently to assure that Husky Hockey remains a leader on the national level – a position we have maintained since the outset more than two decades ago. We anticipate significant changes in college hockey across the country including in the WCHA, the new NCHC and the CCHA in the coming months. In the meantime, the WCHA is in place for the next two years in its 12-team format. Just as soon as we are able to go public with information, we will communicate with you and all of our Husky Hockey fans.

We appreciate your loyalty to Husky Hockey and to St. Cloud State University.


Earl H. Potter III
President
St. Cloud State University
