Just my .02 as a WCRHL observer, but the parity in the division definitely does not equal a division that isn't very strong. It's a common misconception that holds untrue in this case.

The entire...

Wow. I don’t know what to say about this division this year. I can’t recall a division with more parity heading into the regional tournament than this one has, including...

Your predictions look solid.

I can only really comment on the WCRHL, which looks about right. The only critique that I have is that I believe UNLV is more of a lock then Cal Poly SLO right now.

Still doesnt address the fact that they beat UNLV 6-2 the same tournament.

Dont get me wrong, I would bet money that UC Irvine does beat UC Davis if they play at regionals.

That being said,...

While true, I dont think you can make that argument without stating that UC Irvine beat UNLV 6-2 with the same team that UC Davis beat 10-6.

Also, UC Irvine beat UC Davis in the first half of the...

Checking up on that, UC Davis is 8-1-3 in their last 12, so I don't think it was much of a fluke either.

My money's still on UC Irvine, but UC Davis is a very, very dangerous #5 seed going into...

Quoted for truth.

The top 5-6 D1 WCRHL teams are all very, very solid clubs, and I think an argument can be made for any of them getting a nationals bid.

On a somewhat unrelated note-

Awesome, thanks alot!

Related- I think the Sacramento Saxons have great uni's as well, although I've only seen their home jerseys. The Pacific has done a great job in general with getting on board, looking top-notch.

Disclaimer- this is one man's opinion, meant to give some insight to those who lack it. I can (and probably will) be completely wrong on some of the things I say, but I feel I've had a better, more...

It is ridiculous, they're an amazing team.

That being said- the west is going to be a shootout the rest of the way. I think that Cal Poly SLO and Long Beach St. both have legitimate shots at...

Honestly, it's no small wonder that Pacific Cup went under- from the perspective of both a team manager and a player, their tournament series had gone down a slippery slope in the past few years.

Pure Gold.

The WCRHL should be very entertaining this year- DI,DII, and B have all added new teams, should be wide open.

FYI, Long Beach State has been bumped up to Division I according to WCRHL.

I would say Men's Gold would be a much better fit for the majority of college teams.

From what I've gathered so far, there is going to be a gap in play from the Midwest/East/Great Plains teams and the Southeast/West/Rocky Mountain teams. (Big Suprise)

I think I give the edge to...

WCRHL has been having the kickoff event in San Jose for years... I have no idea what you are talking about.

Obviously, they have one of the better ice programs on the west coast, but all that I've heard from talk of a roller program is that it is going to be more like Evergreen Valley CC part 2 rather than...

Spoken like a true guilty conscience.

According to the WCRHL regional wrap-up @ wcrhl.com, UC Irvine will not be attending nationals...

"CSU San Bernardino will be attending Nationals as the sole Division I representative from the...

The system was followed, there was no foul play involoved.

The issue is the system. I really like the system proposed earlier that sorts by one autobid for the winner of regionals, then gives 3...

KSiordia66 goes to San Bernardino... What is he grieving about?

Well, that was mature.

If you look back and actually read what was going on in this thread, there was little crying, and a lot of mature conversation- something that obviously intimidates you.
