Despite being down to seven teams after the University of North Dakota unexpectedly their women’s program—which hockey fans are still reeling from—the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) has moved forward, enjoying a successful season so far with increased parity and taking steps to protect its remaining programs. This has included trying to make the conference more visible in general, as they have participated in events such as the Minnesota Wild’s Girls Hockey Weekend, highlighted the achievements of WCHA graduates, and started online social media campaigns to connect with fans. The WCHA plans on sticking around as a bastion of fantastic women’s hockey for many years to come.
