FB: Conference of New England

[Pat Coleman]

If they play 10 regular season games AND in the NEFC championship, they are not eligible for an ECAC bid.

Pat- Are you sure? There are exemptions to the 10 game limit A-Post Season conf playoff, B- Conf playoff (ECAC) limited to one game, C- Preseason Practice Scrimmage. D-NCAA Championships.

[Pat Coleman]

Otherwise, how did Coast Guard play in an ECAC game last year?

[nefan]

What I am saying is that they could possibly play 12 games ...

[Pat Coleman]

That isn't true these days, I've been told. If you finish the NEFC title game with 11 games already and lose, you can't go to an ECAC game.

Thanks Pat, I assumed that might be the case.  Apparently EC must feel that they have post-season playoff chances this year.

I figured there would be at least some talk about WNECs win this past weekend (I was somewhat suprised)

[63Center]

I think WNEC will have a good team thie year and may surprise a few folks.  I think this is the 3rd year for their coach and he has had time to get his system in place and get some good players.  I was not surprised by their win over Hartwick, but then Hartwick isn't a powerhouse either.

I think WNEC has maybe the best potential out of all the NEFC schools to take it to the next level.  Decent private school that can get kids from MA, CT, NY and NJ.  Decent business programs and I think the head coach is full time this year for the first time?

Was wondering who gave WNEC a vote in the fan poll.....
