The Central Collegiate Hockey Association presented an interesting conundrum in our logo rankings: How do you slot emblems better known for their connections to college football? Since our criterion were based on originality, aesthetic and impact, we simply had to slot teams such as Notre Dame and Michigan on the strength of the logo itself, while trying to picture them in hockey contexts.
From the Boston Beanpot teams on down, Hockey East is a competitive conference both on the ice and in the design department. Our panel loved both the old and new emblems, so quality was really the deciding factor on this one.
With only four teams, College Hockey America gets more of an exposition than a ranking. All four teams have decent logos, but this is how we humbly see them stacking up.
