west coast love

[alex]

I know there's little attention paid to the WCRHL on here, but just thought I'd do my part to give it some limelight. I think it's worth noting Charlie Middleton of UC Irvine has put up 61 goals and 90 points in 15 games, which is absolutely ridiculous and, from looking at DI stats on NCRHA site, that's more than anyone's ever put up in the regular season. And, they've still got another weekend of games left.

that is sick congrats on that accomplishment... only think i can think of is when steve van ness from nevada put up 100 + points but it sounds like that will be broke this year, oh and we were dII.. and as for the west coast we have never gotten much love... for example the year we won dII nationals, we went undefeated into nationals and were still " underdogs " ( according to some people ) compared to the rest of the league.. well go west coast good luck the rest of the year in all leagues..

But as soon as Nationals started, it was obvious who the best DII team was...and they're still the only DII team to finish undefeated. Nevada '04-05 was an unbelievable team.

I think more WCRHLers need to post on this board. That in itself will get people talking about more of the west coast schools.

Same Middleton from the Revision Mission Militia who played Pro & Juniors at NARCh W.C. Winternationals?

I have a copy of that National Championship game on DVD and have watched it several times. That Nevada team was awesome to watch and that championship game was equally as good.

Those numbers are insane. Seriously 90 points in 15 games is something special. Can't wait to them play out at nationals this year.

My questions to follow up on that:

How good are the goalies in the West, and how wide open are the games?

The wcrhl may be the most underrated in the ncrha. I went to nationals in North Carolina and I have to say the competition out here is better than what we saw in NC. 90 points on the west coast is definitely equal to 90 points anywhere else in the country.

the west only had ONE team at nationals last year? that kinda bothers me... or else i'm totally wrong, which would make jsp047 wrong too . what gives?

No doubt.

I have the utmost respect for the west coast teams. I really never have any doubt about their abilities at all as i have always liked what i have seen. My question was more based on the fact is that it seemed the Top Tier scorers in the WCRHL are scoring at a greater clip this year than years past.

WCRHL top 5 scorers last 4 years:

2004-2005: 49, 51, 52, 57, 60 (53 Average)
2005-2006: 55, 67, 79, 86, 91 (75 Average)
2006-2007: 28, 31, 33, 40, 59 (38 Average)
2007-2008: 44, 52, 73, 88, 107 (72 Average)

I think its just that brennan has been really good with stats this year. In years past the stats online haven't been as accurate.

I am satisfied.

do you guys have mercies in wcrhl like in great plains?

[William Bourque]

do you guys have mercies in wcrhl like in great plains?

I am pretty sure that the Great Plains is the only region that ends a game at a 10-goal differential.

The National standard for a mercy is run clock after a 8-goal lead is established. Once the clock starts running, it will remain running for the rest of the game, no matter how close the score becomes.

so why does GP even bother if noone else does it?

No Idea. I have no affiliation with the Great Plains. I am sure you could contact whoever is in charge of the league and they would explain it to you, or someone who knows why it was established could post on here.
