Both schools would be good fits for ECAC, I think, and for different reasons. HC academically and for the potential of its hockey program, and Quinnipiac because it already has a pretty solid foundation for a hockey program, and what such a move to the ECAC could do academically for the school.

A move to the ECAC for QU could help academically and raise the university's profile, not unlike what a move up would do for HC basketball. Granted the analogy is not quite the same, it's similar. QU would undoubtedly increase its profile in the north with a move to ECAC (so would HC for that matter). It could perhaps lead to an increase in applications and therefore increase the selectivity of the school. I'm not talking by leaps and bounds, and certainly the spike would not be what it would be should a similar move be made in basketball or football. But it's another indirect positive.

Quinnipiac is located in Hamden, CT and is not affiliated in any way with the University of Bridgeport. Q has been around for at least 50 years in Hamden, starting as a Division II school once the NCAA divisions were created. Its former basketball coach and athletic director Bert Kahn died last week. Q did acquire the University of Bridgeport law school and move it to its campus in Hamden several years ago. That may the connection you are thinking of.
