ECHRA D2 Predictions

[whoover]

What teams looked strong this weekend?Who were the top players?

[GSJaguars11]

seemed like it was pretty much the same as last year

[kleinberg13]

Its tough to take away too much from preseason, but the top four teams from last year all basically beat each other. After the oct 24 weekend at marple we will probably see who the favorites are.

what happened with the temple neumann game? did neumann play like crap or is temple a sleeper team? either way props to them.

[goalie123]

being a neumann outlooker, i know that neumann was missing there whole first line offense this whole weekend, and there goalie was battling the flu, so i wouldnt say temple is a sleeper, let alone neumann being on a down side. if neumann is able to put together some wins this semester, next semester look out with klenk coming back from a broken hand and another incoming freshman in the spring.

[GoRangrHky]

Where'd they go? Was the travel too much for them??

[whoover]

How do rank the teams so far?Who are the top players?

[kleinberg13]

West Chester is clearly the best right now, while brockport seems to be good I want to see how they would fare against rowan, neumann, or west chester right now. After those schools you have temple and ship who seem to be decent teams. Then after that almost everybody has a poor record thus far.

[hockeykid12]

wcu is obviously at the moment best, followed by rowan then neumann. games and stats dont lie, but who has brockport played? like the post above, lets see how they fair against rowan, wcu, neumann, before we can classify them as an upper echoleon team.

I disagree. I think Brockport is above Neumann right now. I know Brockport has not played Rowan, WCU, or Neumann, but like you said numbers don't lie and Brockport is 7-0 and Neumann is 6-2. And Brockport beat Temple while Neumann lost to them.

[show2606]

brockport beat west chester 4-3 in preseason and they had many extra players with them and were rolling all lines but i'm sure west chester wasn't the same as they are now either. They play the weekend of dec 5th. should be a good game.

[hockeykid12]

stand by wcu being the best with Rowan close behind, but Neumann is third, brockport was demolished by them in preseason. People are gonna point to the temple game as a reason why Neumann is down but a lot will be learned next semester whenn Neumann gets a very hard second half wcu Rowan ship and brockport.. Eyes are eithrr gonna be openned for Neumann or closed. I still believe brockport is a fraud and I think that dec 5 wkend will show it when wcu romps them.

Brockport was tied 1-1 going into the third against Nuemann. And with a team full of ice hockey players just learning the ajustments to the game and playing their first 3 games against the top 3 teams, alot can change in the regular season.

[warwick]

just look At the history of brockport and wcu vs neumann, when the games count neumann comes out on top. this year will be more of the same. 1 quick question it was mentioned that wcu will lose their coach in the second semester, could someone give the reason for that.

[hockeykid12]

Warwick is right until neumann loses a meaningful game to a wcu or brockport there is no reason to believe come regionals that it will be any different. Neumann is as consistsnt as anyone. Watching there games seems like they picked up a freshman or two and that's without Klenk. Wcu coach goes to coach in a diff country

[Hockey Coach]

Westchester will be there at the end along with Neumann and Rowan.

Brockport played well this past weekend WCU was missing a key player so don't count WCU out.

for some reason the other thread about this isnt on here anymore
