I thought that I
would explore this age factor further. Here’s the average age of each team of
the National Collegiate Hockey Conference and the current standings.

The average age of a
hockey player in the NCHC is 21.4 years old. Looking at the numbers, UND is
right there, age wise, with the rest of the teams in the NCHC. Just for comparison sake, UMN average age is 20.9.
