Just the kind of preseason news I want to read!!

But I do think it is totally ridiculous that NCAA hockey barely has any pre-season sanctioned practice.
First allowed practice - Oct 6...First game - Oct 6!
Seriously, does ANY other sport have that kind of restriction????

PUCK DROPS IN 22 DAYS!!!

That must have been some sort of misprint/flat out error. I found this article: http://www.miningjournal.net/page/conte ... l?nav=5010 linked on the CCHA website that clearly shows that isn't the case. There's also an article about Alaska starting full official practices this week.

Practices right now are limited to two hours per week. They are far from full practices.

You are correct. Not sure what Northern is doing, but they are under the SAME rules as us. Full, official (with coaches) practices are allowed on October 6th. I double checked this with the coach after I saw that pic of Northern's team.

TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY!!

I believe the UP uses the ancient Druid calendar. What they call October 6 falls on the day the rest of the civilized world calls September 18 or 19, depending on leap year. I'm certain this must be true, as I read it on the internet.
