Predicted margins and totals for games in the next 2-3 days.
Many thanks to US College Hockey (uscho.com), who provides
the schedule information that goes into these predictions.
During in-season tournaments, a "Non-Division I" flag may appear if an opponent is not yet
known. Those will resolve as tournament games get played.

Data Source
Up until 2023, I used scores provided by The National Statistical Concern. Recently, however,
I've realized that they consistently miss one or two games each weekend, and have incorrect home/away
information, and this year have multiple schedule problems. That was unacceptable to me. So..
Beginning December 2023 I manually save scores from US College Hockey
and am thoroughly grateful for their contributions to hockey over the years. If you don't frequent
their site, you should.
About the author
I have a Ph.D. in Atmospheric Science from the University of Alabama in
Huntsville. They had already been forced to play up to D-I by the time I had arrived, so I
missed their D-II glory days, but I attended every home game in the years I was there. I am now a
faculty member at Indiana University in
Bloomington, teaching courses in the broad areas of weather and climate.
Don't hesitate to contact me using this email form if
you have questions or non-hateful comments.
