Final ACHA Standings released

The final rankings were released today (instead of Friday) to determine the teams and rankings for the ACHA National Tournament. Apparently Slippery Rock doesn't get an autobid, so the top 12 in the rankings move on to the tournament. Minot State, Oakland, and Central Oklahoma make it in; Arizona State somehow stays alive; and Kent State jumped Adrian and URI to take the final spot.

The Icers are ranked #2 and will face SUNY Canton in the first round - that game will be played on 3/6 at 1pm in Bensonville, IL. But I'll post more of that info later.

I didn't even know they played hockey in the MO until I started following these standings.

I know about your diabolical plan.

This Midwest explosion is fairly recent

It was really the east coast, a few in the midwest (Ohio, Illinois, Iowa State, Michigan-Dearborn), and then a few oddballs in the west (Arizona and Arizona State).

But teams like Lindenwood and the Oklahomas didn’t show up on the radar at all until about 3 years ago. It was a strange explosion, but it really helps the league in terms of travel and competitiveness.

(Oh, and the St. Louis Blues would like to speak with you. It’ll be a short conversation, since it’s debatable if what they do can be considered “playing hockey”.)

This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
