Looks Like Nebraska-Omaha And Bemidji State Are New WCHA Members; UAA Gets Another Recruit

Comments (0) |

Our man Kevin Pates of the Duluth News-Tribune is reporting Nebraska-Omaha and Bemidji State will join the men's Western Collegiate Hockey Association beginning in 2010-11, bringing the number of teams in the conference that includes UAA to 12.

The league is expected to announce the additions in a telephone news conference later today.

Guess that means UAF will remain in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association.

You can check out Pates' report here.

In other news, looks like UAA has secured another recruit, this one left wing Scott Allen from the Spruce Grove Saints of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. That news comes courtesy of Chris Heisenberg’s recruiting site.

Allen, who turns 19 on July 6, last season earned 15-15--30 totals and 124 penalty minutes in 49 games. He's a 6-foot-3, 190-pounder.
