Things in the NCAA are moving into the postseason with the Men’s side finishing conference tournaments and the Women’s starting the NCAA tournament. Would like to extend a congratulations to North Dakota, Minnesota State, Michigan State, Providence, Quinnipiac, and Bentley who were all regular season champions on the men’s side of the NCAA.  Host locations this year for the Men’s Tournament are Worcester, MA, Albany, NY, Sioux Falls, SD, and Loveland, CO with the Frozen Four this year in at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Big thanks to all these arenas and organizations hosting our NCAA teams.

The NCAA has been very competitive this year with a lot of close games and upsets. This was all because of the new rules allowing CHL players to be eligible in the NCAA.  Congrats to all members that have reached milestones this year, and best of luck and to everyone finishing up the season. I hope to see lots of people and vendors at the convention in June.
