I went to a women's ACHA D1 game yesterday. Indiana Tech vs Lake Superior State. The talent level was very very high. Couldn't have been more impressed! Maybe we could get a ranking of women's programs next.
Really solid list overall, props to you man. I was the EQ for the Liberty team and the only thing I would change would be the 10th spot. University of Ohio or Michigan Dearborne. Sucked that Iowa state didn’t play the 2023 year, they always are solid and I really wanted our boys to play them. Lastly, Adrian was not good in 2022 because they lost a lot of their seniors and had a newer group. They still finished well making the semi finals that year. Their coach is incredible.
Everyone has their own opinion of what they consider pro. For us, if you have a contract and are paid to play, then we consider it pro, even though it may only be minor pro.
@@ahadvising8 i think he meant they could keep up with them and not get blown out. Adrian college has beaten usa U18s 3 years in a row i think. might be 4. lot of their players are transfers from d1 schools. and many of their players could have played at d1 schools.

Thank you! Things do fluctuate but yes some teams get better or worse as the years go on.
watched a couple liberty games on espn, packed barn! they offer discounts to canadians (hmmmmm wonder if thats for the hockey players lol)
Surprised you didn’t mention that Liberty beat NCAA D1 Long Island University…
Good point!
What do you consider pro? Many ACHA players advance to the Single A Pro League, Federal Prospect Hockey League.
Anything that pays you to play. There are different levels of pro for sure though
@@ahadvising8 you’re way off base with this conclusion.

No, you’re off base when you claimed you’re group couldn’t find any ACHA teams that consistently send student athlete to pro levels.
Some do, but not many and it’s often the top players in the league going to minor pro to the point where it’s pay to play
U Sports Next?
Yes coming up!
With top to middle NCAA d3 teams lol
D3 NCAA doesn’t even compare to D1 ACHA.
Adrian college can compete with any d1 school.
@waingro5834 They could compete with some, but probably not most

Lmaoo Mizu got pumped by Adrian 15-1 when I saw them at nationals😭😭
That’s tough! They are a great program
Every school at that tournament was punked by Adrian.
And “Mizu” isn’t Missouri State. University of Missouri is Mizzou.
