Men's Hockey: University Cup Pools & Schedule Released

The CIS has just sent out a media advisory with the 2012 Cavendish University Cup pool seedings and schedule, right when they said they would!

If you know the CIS regs, (UNBHockeyfans.com goes into it here) and looked at the final rankings released at lunch time, you can determine that the CIS went by the book in setting up the pools. There is one less TV game this year, as the first Saturday game has been pushed to a 11:30 am ADT start, and off television, so that the "evening" game can start at 4:30 pm ADT (3:30 pm EDT), which I guess was more television friendly for Sportsnet (by staying away from Hockey Night in Canada?). I wonder how well the body clocks of the Huskies players will be adjusted by Saturday morning!?
