    I read that the B10 has extended an Hockey invite to join the "proposed" B10 Hockey conference to Notre Dame. How odd is that? Also I can't imagine that Minnesota and Wisconsin want to leave the WCHA.
    B10 Hockey

    Formation of a B10 Hockey League would pretty much mortally wound the CCHA.

    interesting to say the least. I had not heard or read anything about this new proposal.

    Looks like many obstacles to overcome. I agree the CCHA might be in jeporady.

    Don how many B10 teams play Hockey? Is it enough to have a viable league without asking teams like ND and Miami to join?

    Lets see, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, MSU and Ohio State. This would be one whale of an undertaking at this point. Does Nebraska have a hockey team?

    Penn State wants to offer the sport within a couple of years.
