With seven hockey teams in the Big Ten conference, its no secret that the conference would love to find one more team to make an even eight teams. When the Big Ten added Notre Dame to the Big Ten as a hockey only affiliate member beginning this season, the rumor mill started as to who the eighth team could be. Would it be a hockey blue-blood like North Dakota, or a newer program looking for a long term home like Arizona State? Or, would another Big Ten school figure out a way to add a Division I hockey team and become the 8th team.
