Talk:College ice hockey

Re-titling the Page
I noticed this article got tagged with a US centric template and it doesn't seem that much is being done to provide the "world wide point of view" so I'm wondering should we move and re-title this page something like "NCAA Hockey?" ThoughtsJsonitsac (talk) 18:21, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Meh not too worried. That template seems to be applied by people with a bone to pick, but who aren't willing to actually change the page. I made it so the page doesn't say "college hockey = NCAA". The few minutes I spent on Canada didn't turn up much. -Ravedave (talk) 20:31, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Maps
Those maps are great but they are a little outdated and missing teams —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.239.180.57 (talk) 22:16, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Men's map looks good, havent checked the women's map yet, and not an expert on women's hockey if someone else wants to check it out! what is missing on the maps? be a little more specific please!--Bhockey10 (talk) 21:13, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The women's map is missing Syracuse; I think that's the only change to D-I women's hockey in the last few years. The men's map looks fine, as it omits Wayne St. and includes RIT; it will need to be updated after the season to reflect the dissolution of the men's CHA, though.

Div II
I can't get it... Article says that Div-II doesn't exist in men's hockey but THERE IS Div-II conference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.80.6.146 (talk) 19:07, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Did you read the article? The info is explained in the text. The NCAA does NOT currently sponsor a post season championship in Division II, therefore most of those Division II teams became Division I teams. The few that didn't are members of the Northeast Ten Conference, they play against each other and Division III teams, but are not allowed to compete in NCAA DIII championship either. The Northeast 10 sponsors a championship for it's members playing ice hockey because they don't have an NCAA-sponsored post season championship.Bhockey10 (talk) 22:44, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Merge NCAA Men's Division I Ice Hockey
Suggesting merging/redirecting NCAA Men's Division I Ice Hockey to this article. Seems like an unnecessary content fork to me, largely duplicated information in an orphaned and less-developed article.  Grsz 11 05:49, 17 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Support That article has nothing this one doesn't. Merge of NCAA Men's Division I Ice Hockey into College ice hockey. If at some point NCAA Division I section of College ice hockey becomes drastically larger than the other sections and/or the article becomes extremely large in general then we can split that info off. Bhockey10 (talk) 08:00, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose merge The two articles speak to different topics. College ice hockey is a general article, while NCAA Men's Division I Ice Hockey is a specific article about the highest level of intercollegiate ice hockey sanctioned by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in the United States. It has the potential to become an excellent lead article into the six conference articles, as well as having potential for holding historical information. This article is currently a stub which provides useful information and which is capable of expansion. Dolovis (talk) 15:22, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Support This article is about college hockey in general so I am open to resplitting them in the future if the article gets to large, however being that the NCAA article is so small there is currently no reason why they can't be merged until such a time. -DJSasso (talk) 16:33, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Support At this point in time, there is no need for the second article. All of the information there is and can be covered in College ice hockey. If it grows to the point where a split is needed, than sure, but right now the college ice hockey article is only 12kb and definitely does not need splitting. – Nurmsook!  talk...  17:08, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Unbalanced
This article is written almost entirely from the USA viewpoint. The article needs a major re-write to work in Canadian colleges, Canadian universities (which in have different governing bodies), and the NCAA. The term "college ice hockey" is very broad, and creating separate articles might be a better answer. Dolovis (talk) 00:13, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree, I don't know much about the structure of Canadian college/university hockey but will try to find some info. I placed an expansion needed tag under the CIS section, it's short relative to the NCAA section. I disagree separate articles are needed, especially since the current article doesn't have enough info/balanced coverage of college ice hockey. Bhockey10 (talk) 00:45, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I was trying to address my concern a few months ago when I started to create the NCAA Men's Division I Ice Hockey article. I was disappointed that my efforts were so quickly redirected back into the same problem article that I was trying to solve. Dolovis (talk) 01:04, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Lol, that was only a month ago. It was redirected quickly because there was clear consensus, which I'm sure has not changed in such a short time. Pulling out info for NCAA Divisions and CIS hockey would just created stubs and be impractical for users searching for info. Also that article was outdated and had no information that this one doesn’t have. This article is unbalanced toward NCAA hockey, not because there's too much info, but because there's not enough for Canadian university hockey. Ideally one day the college ice hockey article will be a descriptive and informative GA that highlights the different levels and aspects of college ice hockey. If at that point when this article is more developed we can then look into splitting articles with even more in depth coverage of each. Bhockey10 (talk) 01:23, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Need to update the Hockey D1 Map image
Need to update the Hockey D1 Map image - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hockey_d1.png Notre Dame is now in the Big 10 and UConn has moved conferences as well — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kurt hamel (talk • contribs) 17:57, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

This map needs some major changes but I don't have the skills to do so. Here is what I found so far:

Teams in Wrong Conference: Notre Dame should be in Big Ten, UConn should be in Hockey East (as stated above)

Missing Team: Long Island University (Independent)

Future Teams: University of St. Thomas (2021), Lindenwood University (2022)

Conference realignment: Seven teams (Bemidji State, Bowling Green, Ferris State, Lake Superior State, Michigan Tech, Minnesota State, Northern Michigan) from the WCHA will form the new iteration of the CCHA in 2021-2022. The WCHA will likely become inactive. Teams in limbo: Alabama Huntsville has ended their hockey program; reopening the program is dependent upon acceptance into Atlantic Hockey 2021-2022. Alaska-Anchorage has ended heir hockey program; reopening the program is dependent upon fundraising. Alaska-Fairbanks is likely to continue as an independent, but that has not been announced yet. Also, Tennessee State University and Illinois State are looking into adding programs, but they shouldn't be put on the map unless they announce they are doing so.

Minor Quibble: "Rochester Tech" should be stylized as "RIT"

Once completed, the map can also replace the old map on the following page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NCAA_Division_I_ice_hockey_programs In addition to having many of the same problems, that map has even more such as switching the geographic location of Clarkson and St. Lawrence. 173.69.139.43 (talk) 15:03, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
