I would not be shocked to see both HC and Quinnipiac receive invitations. QU obviously boosted its position by agreeing to play all ECAC games on the road while their building is constructed.
is a problem. ECAC teams all play on campus in relatively cozy, packed rinks. Empty seats at the Centrum are not a plus. ECAC is loaded with Canadian players (with US prep schoolers making-up most of the rest).
sorry, I've been to a ton of Brown games and they are hardly ever packed -- not even close - and the ave. attendance number for the ECAC as a whole is no where near total capacity -- Colgate draws well but others do not

I saw Dartmouth visit Princeton last November, and there were about 1100 there, and it was pretty full. If I remember right, it was right after Thanksgiving, or thereabouts during the schedule...i.e. early in the campaign. You'd be hard pressed to get 1100 for a regular season game at the Hart at the moment. In three years, with constant program improvement, 1100 would be a reasonable goal.
