ECRHA gets our staff warmups through GTM Sportswear: http://gtmsportswear.com/. Very easy and affordable, plus they can do small runs for you as needed.

Final stages of booking both 2012 and 2013 - both will be announced at the same time and I would expect that prior to the start of the season (next 3-6 weeks).

Can't comment on locations until...

Just as a ballpark estimate, renting two floors with boards for the event would run on the order of $30k with shipping. This wouldn't include any costs incurred to rent or staff the facility.

No. Currently NCRHA needs to rent floors.



I know Southwest flies into KRSW as well. If I remember correctly from last time I was down there, Skatium has one roller surface and one ice...

I did a computerized ranking system back in 2005-2006 I believe that was only for fun but had some decent results compared to the real field. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Okay my first post here was eaten, but abbreviated version:


Rob and I saw multiple regional events this year and always do offer insight/input where we have it. That said, we see at most 2-3...

To be fair, I don't think the box scores fully prove where Miami and FGCU should have been. I certainly believe you should have been invited, but I think you were placed properly in pools based on...

So pretty much no change :D

Which is where I think selections are extremely difficult. It's tough to leave home a team with 3 losses on the year for a team that's .500, especially when it's highly unlikely those teams have...

Not true. Getting a bid to nationals only means you're automatically reviewed by the NCRHA over the summer - it does NOT mean you're forced to move to DI. Don't take last year's amount of forced...

Or SLO coming out of Pool E into the Finals. Tons of really awesome stories that ultimately are really good for the league and speak well to the level of parity we're starting to see across...

I think this is our fourth or fifth year with admission. As AJ said, players and coaches get credentials good for admission to the entire event.

One to give you an idea. There isn't tons of info about the venue online, unfortunately.

UConn can end up anywhere from the #9-12 seed on one side of the bracket, which puts them against *someone* from Pool C depending on how they finish up.

This makes sense since Pool C's teams will...

More or less. Think of it like March Madness where you have multiple seeds of the same number (in our case, 2 #1s, 2 #2s, etc.).

The reason we specify which pool you're coming from when going to...

Pools are still 4 teams. The difference is that going 3-0 in Pool B for instance can now bump you up to a #1 seed, or going 0-3 in Pool A can bump you down to a #4 seed. Last year you would have...

Close. It's groups of 8 and not meant to be read straight from top to bottom as 1-16 seeds.. So taking DII as an example, pools A and B consist of seeds 1-8, pools C and D seeds 9-16. There's a...

Correct. Another nice byproduct of this format is that you're guaranteed not to see another team from your pool until later in the bracket (quarters or semis I think)



Same idea, but three...

Once the brackets come out it will make a little more sense as to who advances where. It's similar to how DI ran last year, but with a little more flexibility. The idea is to give everyone...

What I meant was explained at length to your coach as well following the game after he escorted the few players shouting obscenities and flipping the bird back into the locker room, but I'll explain...

DII Reposted.

I hit 'save' by accident before we had alternates finalized. Sorry guys.

Did you hack into my computer? That's almost exactly what we're considering.

Similar to how DI was last year - we are working on some minor tweaks to give teams a bit more space to move up and down in the bracket as opposed to last year's format while retaining the...

DI is up.

Working on DII now.

Not even nearly doubled - if you are interested in these sort of stats:
