North Dakota, Colorado College, Denver, Duluth, and Omaha will be leaving the WCHA and forming a new league along with Miami (OH) and possibly Notre Dame and Western Michigan, according to the Grand Forks Herald. This will leave both leagues with five teams.
It it thought that the leagues will combine to form one league. It is unclear what this league will be named. However, it is thought that it will take on either the WCHA or CCHA name.
WCHA Commissioner Bruce McLeod said no contingency plan was in place. CCHA Commissioner Fred Pletsch was unavailable for comment.
