"This is an exciting development both for the Western Collegiate Hockey Association and the growth of intercollegiate women's ice hockey," said Commissioner Bruce M. McLeod. "Our goal will be to formalize acceptance of articles of agreement at our annual meeting this spring."
A new women's league would likely be adminstered under the auspicies of the WCHA. A committee, chaired by St. Cloud State University athletic director Morris Kurtz, will continue to develop the administrative program to support the operation of the league.
Seven schools are included in the initial plans for the new women's conference. They are: Bemidji State University; Minnesota State University, Mankato; University of Minnesota; University of Minnesota-Duluth; Ohio State University; St. Cloud State University; and University of Wisconsin.
