So is Notre Dame going to the new hockey conference. Apparently that is what Mario Lucia told the Star and Tribune beat writer Roman Augustoviz.
Kevin Pates; Rink and Run --- Will the conference have a name by Wednesday? Is Notre Dame and/or Western Michigan, also of the CCHA, any closer to joining the conference? Has a commissioner been selected? (Colorado College AD Ken Ralph has been in the forefront, along with North Dakota AD Brian Faison). Has a public relations director been selected? (Bill Robertson recently left the employ of the Minnesota Wild). Is there a cable TV deal in place? (Rink and Run speculated about Versus, but it was speculation).
Here’s one hint on Notre Dame from high schooler Mario Lucia of Wayzata, Minn., at the Minnesota Wild prospects camp this week. When asked by Minneapolis Star Tribune writer Roman Augustoviz about Lucia’s possible college selection Lucia said:
“I’ve talked to Notre Dame and they’ve told me they are probably going to move into that super conference.”
OK, that’s one question answered. The complete Augustoviz blog post is here.
