"Holy Cross, in Worcester, Mass., and Quinnipiac, in Hamden, Conn., are both considered within the ECAC's traditional geographic boundaries. The decision will likely come down to factors such as facilities, commitment to hockey, and whether the school fits into the ECAC's academic profile. Both the men's and women's programs are being evaluated.

Holy Cross is traditionally the stronger school academically. Last year, the Crusaders made the NCAA tournament for the first time, winning the Atlantic Hockey conference tournament. The school does not currently award athletic scholarships, and has no plans to do so. Holy Cross plays its games at a small on-campus facility, but has agreed with the Worcester Centrum to play some ECAC games there. Holy Cross' women's program is in the formative stages.

Quinnipiac won its conference tournament two years ago. The school currently awards the Atlantic Hockey limit of 11 hockey scholarships, and has expressed the intention to bump that to the NCAA limit of 18. The school's women's program is already established and is starting its first season in the CHA next fall. Quinnipiac plays its home games at a small community rink, but has plans for a 3,000-seat on-campus facility. Funds are currently being raised for the facility, with completion expected by January 2007."

Cheers.

1843 -

Didn't Quin agree to play it's home games at that new 9,000-seat Harbor Yard Arena in Bridgeport, Conn. until their own new rink is built ?

this is a tight race that looks for the Cross like its best bet is the academics angle...otherwise we might be hosed, for lack of a better term.

Cheers.
