The Western Collegiate Hockey Association announced it has voted to add Bemidji State and Nebraska-Omaha to the league, starting in the 2010-11 season.
Bemidji State applied months ago but in late April, league members decided they didn’t want to add only one team. WCHA commissioner Bruce McLeod was instructed to actively pursue a second team to join the league.
Nebraska-Omaha’s location and facilities made it a natural fit. Alaska-Fairbanks was also discussed as a possibility.
The expansion is the first in the league since Minnesota State-Mankato joined as the 10th member for the 1999-2000 season.
