And yet, this is the first year the regionals are on the same weekend. For the past two seasons, the regionals were on back to back weekends, one at the beginning of spring break and the other at the end. There has to be something else other than "they have the same spring break" causing this conflict, such as both venues being unavailable week 4, or a director wanting to keep week 4 open for HVR, or one of the schools having an athletic event one of the weeks, or something.

I know RPI's event is in the hockey arena, not sure about RIT. But is it possible hockey schedules made for conflicting regionals?
