Hi cakeuneke,

Thanks for the post. That's a great bunch of teams. I think it will be a fantastic event, as it has been each time I've had the good fortune to attend.

Thanks Kurt and Brennan. Good to see the two years I played they were in St. Louis and Detroit, but every other year they seem to be in FLA or CA.

Anyone have any idea who's the favorites??

I would have to say Lindenwood is up there again, having gained a bunch of players from last year, you know how they were last year Timmy. Thats just a rumor I heard. Also, EMU picked up most of its DII ice players after the club folded. They beat MSU 9-2 at regionals and should be strong going into Nationals. California is overrated.......Florida is the place to be.

[WCRHL]

We were in Philadelphia last year. Yeah we lucked out to have it out west again this year. We weren't supposed to have it out here for at least 3 more years. But everybody likes coming to California, right? Hopefully the weather is nice...

I think there are 3 tough WCRHL teams that could make a run for it. Also EMU, Mich St, Lindenwood, Towson, UCF. I will not predict a winner, because they will not win! It is too tough to call!

I agree with the later statement. I played against both UCF adn UF this year and they both have very strong teams. I would love to see them do some damage at nationals.
