WCHA is FAR SUPERIOR to other leagues.
I've seen a few CCHA games on cstv this season, and the level of play is far inferior to that of the WCHA teams.....Hockey East is probably the next best league to WCHA....The WCHA has won the last 5 NCAA Championships.....What do you folks think??
True the WCHA has the last 5 champions but the road to those championships has been very thin, 4 of the 5 teams had to win overtime games on their way to the championship. A bounce here or there and we are not talking about 5 straight. Who would have guessed that the CCHA best shot at ending their drought would be NOTRE DAME!

I disagree about hockey east--I think Wisconsin was robbed of a bid and everyone knows that since the WCHA sent 4 to the frozen 4 a couple of years ago there has been an NCAA conspiracy not to let that happen again-case in point-UND and UM in same region-they should have shipped UND to midwest---they would have won it

Obviously WCHA is a great league, but take nothing away from Hockey East. I watched BC dominate Wisconsin earlier this year; (true... the Badgers were only a 500 team, but could play with anyone.) absolutely blew them off the ice. Minnesota / wcha fans don't like to acknowledge that eastern kids can play, but it's obvious they can. Fact: New York has produced the most NHLers currently playing.

Yeah, obviously. You are correct to show that NY and MN isn't really a fair comparison. But NY is hardly a hockey culture. MN breathes it. I would interested to know the youth numbers. I do know this:
NY high school teams = 151
MN high school teams = 158
To be fair, NY has more club teams and in all liklihood has more total kids playing. The topic is about the WCHA's superiority. I'm only saying the teams and players from the east should be acknowledged... which many WCHA fans are loathe to do.
