Last week, during the American Hockey Coaches Association meetings in Naples Florida, the coaches discussed moving the NCAA regionals back on campus. Word has come out that a majority of NCAA hockey coaches don’t want to change the NCAA regional format and the coaches favor the status quo.
Nate Owen, USCHO – Poor attendance at some NCAA regional sites has led to some talk that the format should be changed, but feedback from the American Hockey Coaches Association meeting last week indicated that most coaches aren’t in favor of such a move.
“The voice from the coaches was that the overwhelming majority wanted to keep it as it is,” said Army West Point coach Brian Riley, president of the AHCA.
Riley also is a member of the NCAA Division I men’s ice hockey committee, and he said that body will meet in June and discuss what the coaches said last week in Naples, Fla.
