It's all come down to whether there will be steamed hams there./s

And you call them ‘steamed hams’ despite the fact they are obviously chicken riggies.
For those who may not know, chicken riggies is a real Utica food. I’ve never had it but I want to.

It’s the only good thing to ever come out of Utica

We had it in the dining halls at Cornell sometime. Maybe the only bit of upstate culture I even experienced on campus, and very underrated.

I've had chicken riggies, but not in Utica. They're good.
I've got a friend (who builds fly rods) in Utica so I'd got see an away game there then do some fishing with him.

Hmm will they go to Atlantic Hockey or be independent? Tbh I’d love to see more independents.

I believe the outgoing commissioner didn't want to make any changes, and deferred to the new commisionner (starting in April) to decide what to do - stay at 11, add Utica and/or LIU and/or Lindenwood (maybe, since the women are in CHA), or something else?

It's all contingent upon getting approved for D2 in everything else. Sounds like they've been preliminarily accepted for NE-10 membership and just have to get the application approved for D2.
Didn’t know that but good for them. Utica supports the Comets really well and I’d imagine this would be the same. I’m sure they’ll be on our OOC schedule and the next few years.
They still need a conference though. Isn't that still up in the air? Curious on a Binghampton update as well.
