Comparing the Trophies (NCHC vs. B1G)
Jackie was too chicken to put this picture up herself, even though she has full blogger rights on this blog. :) So, I will take the heat for her. Comparing the two trophies which one do you like better? Obviously, I like the Julie and Spencer Penrose Memorial Cup better.

UND Hockey: A couple of ex-UND hockey players get into fights
Here's a couple of fight videos, from two ex-UND hockey players that happened to get into fights during the prospects tourney that was held on September 8, 2013. Looks like Andrew MacWilliam was a willing combatant, and I was always wondered if I would ever get to see him drop the gloves. When he was in college the refs always seem to rescue the opposition before MacWilliam got a chance to drop the gloves...

Big Ten Hockey: To use Point System like NCHC
Brad Elliot Schlossman from the Grand Forks Herald, is reporting that the Big Ten Hockey conference will use a point system like the one that the NCHC announced a few weeks ago.
This past May, it was announced that the Big Ten will also use the shootout.
This past May, it was announced that the Big Ten will also use the shootout.
Big Ten will use the same point system as NCHC: 3 for reg/OT win; 2 for SO win; 1 for SO loss; 0 for reg/OT loss.

WCHA Promoting B1G Hockey Tourney
I touched on this subject back in March, after the Press Conference, before the championship game of the Final Five. Looks like the WCHA marketing plan is coming to fruition. Here's a screen shot of the
WCHA's webpage.
Rachel Blount asked, “Can
you explain exactly how the Big Ten and
the WCHA will be working together and what
kinds of things you will be working together on and how you will be partnered?”
Jennifer Heppel responded
back with this, “What we have done so far is again the WCHA and the Xcel Energy
Center since the time the facility has opened has really built a tradition with
the fan base here. We recognize the support the fans in this area have given to college hockey.
We have for the last month made available the opportunity to purchase tickets
in advance for those fans in this area that supported the WCHA tournament.
Tickets for the general public go on sale on Monday. We wanted to extend that
opportunity. We worked out some initial joint marketing efforts and we will
continue to do that. Again, this community has a lot of fans of specific
schools, but you also have just incredible support for hockey and college
hockey. The WCHA and the Big Ten want it to be a seamless transition from
year-to-year for those that support college hockey and the “X” has been on that
same page, and they don’t want there to be any drop-off in the tradition that
has been created.”
So after Jennifer Heppel
gave us her canned answer, WCHA Commissioner Bruce McLeod jumped in and said
this.
“Rachel… we set a record
this year in our packages [tickets]," McLeod said . "We sold
pre-tournament wise, I would have to check, almost 13,000 [tickets]. I think.
That was a record for us. All of those ticket bases; those email addresses have
been shared with the Big Ten people, and hopefully as Jen said the end result
is, everyone benefits. We’re working on the same, you know, kind of the
same [fan] base, and sharing all of those names, and I think the basic idea of
what Jen says if we can provide, I don’t know what you’re going to call it
eventually, the collegiate hockey weekend, or something like that. One year
it’s the Big Ten Hockey weekend, the next year it’s the WCHA. The more we can get
that across, the better off we’re going to be.”
You got that? Those people
that bought tickets to the Red Baron Final Five will get a first crack at next
year’s Big Ten Hockey tourney. So the Big Ten is hoping that you will
decide to not go to the WCHA conference tourney in Grand Rapids and instead go
the Xcel next season.
That’s absolutely
brilliant.

Time for a National College Hockey pay per view television package
English: Logo for DirecTV (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
As most of you know, as of right
now, home UND Hockey games are not going to be on DirecTV anymore. As of right now, there will be “no" UND Hockey games
shown outside of the regional area unless the games are on CBSSN… So, going
forward, you will have to use the webcasts if you want to watch the games live.
Now, here’s what we “could” do, I
suggest that we flood the lines at DirecTV 1-800-531-5000 and tell them that we would like to have MidcoSportsnet.com from Midcontinent Communications on
DirecTV. I would even suggest that you’re willing to pay extra so you can have
those games on your DirecTV programming.
Also, let's start a campaign to call MidcoSportsnet at (605)-274-7638 and flood their lines as well.
College hockey needs to have a hockey television packed like the NHL does. Recently, I touched on some of these issues at the Hockey Writers.
Obviously, the Big Ten has the Big Ten Network, which is a financial gold mine. The NCHC has a new television deal with CBS Sports Network. In its current form, the WCHA has no current television deal.
Without a current television deal, the WCHA will get little exposure on the national level.
I am not sure, how a web deal is going to do much for national exposure. Hooking up a desktop computer or laptop to your home television can be a bit difficult, if you’re not very tech savvy.
During the 2012-13 NHL Lockout, college hockey played a major role in filling the gap left by the NHL lockout, especially in the USA. NBC Sports Network and CBS Sports Network allowed college hockey fans to see firsthand that Division I college hockey is a viable game and gave them an option to the NHL. Some hockey fans, decided to stick with the NCAA Hockey after the NHL lockout ended.
If you have DirecTV package – with the sports package – you can watch many regional broadcasts of college hockey. This season, thanks to DirecTV, I watched both Monday’s of the Beanpot Tournament, as well as both games of the 2013 Hockey City Classic.
Why not develop a college hockey television package like the NHL and the NBA have? I know many fans that would pay extra money to subscribe to a college hockey television package
#NCHC will launch new website, announce full schedule for CBS Sports Network broadcasts on July 15 #CCTigers

Catching up and moving forward
Well the NHL playoffs are over. Finally, we can move
forward, the College Hockey season is roughly three months away. The Stanley Cup Playoffs were exciting and a
grind as well.
Moving forward, I close one chapter and open another one.
Last September, I was invited to write for the Hockey Writers Combine by the
former editor Andrew Eide. The Hockey
Writers Editor Bruce Hollingdrake decided that he no longer wanted to have a
number of 'off shoot' sites connected to THW. I was invited to write for the Hockey Writers
and I can now be found here as a lead college hockey writer. Below are two of my latest submissions.
I was also invited to write for the Hockey Wilderness by
Bryan Reynolds on his way out the door as editor of the Hockey Wilderness ….
So, now I will write a weekly college hockey column or two during the regular season
as some Wild related stuff. Currently,
during the summer months, every Saturday afternoon have been writing a weekly
column that’s published at 2:00 p.m..
This was one of the latest. Stupid
Penalties: Two minutes for taking your helmet off during a fight
I have also continued to write for the new hockey blog Get
Real Hockey which is owned by Former NHL great Bernie Nicholls. Click to view
