NMU, Tech eye new conference

College Hockey

HOUGHTON — Michigan Tech and Northern Michigan have joined five other NCAA Division I men’s hockey programs in the exploration of a new conference that would begin play with the 2021-2022 season.

Bemidji State, Bowling Green State, Ferris State, Lake Superior State and Minnesota State University, Mankato are the other five programs.

As current members of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA), the schools have independently submitted formal letters of notice to the conference office, initiating the withdrawal process in accordance with WCHA articles of incorporation and bylaws.

Alabama Huntsville, Alaska and Alaska Anchorage are the other WCHA programs.

The institutions will continue to play in the WCHA during the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 seasons.
