CCHA Championship 2010

[riffjim4069]

I gotta admit that my team (Michigan) has had a rough year. However, they have won four-straight in this years CCHA Tournament and there are four teams remaining headed into the championship weekend:

Ferris State
Miami
Michigan
Northern Michigan

So which team is going into the NCAA Tournament having won the CCHA Championship? Let's go Michigan!!!

What is the CCHA?

Arguably the premier conference in College Sports (Hockey) - CCHA Championship Splash

Ah, ok. I didn't know they didn't use the same conferences that they use for football and basketball.

I just rolled into town and was busy the past few days. Anyway, Michigan wins six-in-a-row at the CCHA Tounament...wins the Championship...and gets an automatic bid to the NCAA Playoffs after a not-so-stellar season. Incredible!

Go Blue!!!

Michigan and Bemidji tonight. Thankfully it is on MASN and FSN North live so we don't have to wait until the 11pm tape delay on ESPNU.

from a WCHA fan that is debatable

 

[Mr Tony]

by the way...has the CCHA said anything about how their playoff system is going to go next year with only 11 teams?
Omaha is leaving after this year to come to the WCHA along with Bemidji

The WCHA already said how their playoff system will work next year

Current.....10 teams play in 3 game series. 5 winners go to Final 5
they are reseeded and 4 vs 5 Thursday night, 2 vs 3 Friday afternoon and 1 vs. 4/5 Friday night

New....12 teams play in 3 game series. 6 winners go to Final 5 (they're not changing the name)
Thursday night 3 vs 6, 4 vs 5. Friday afternoon 2 plays 3/6, Friday night 1 plays 4/5

Notice how I said arguably so I didn't enrage all the WCHA and Hockey East fans. Of course, since this is the CCHA thread we all know the CCHA is, in fact, the premier college hockey league.

Anyway, lots of good hockey action (and upsets) in the NCAA Playoffs!

It's like you're reading my mind since I was wondering the same thing earlier this morning. I've heard nothing so far.
