Looking Ahead In The Conference III Belt Race
by J.R.
With last night’s win in Nashville, Colorado won its first Conference III Belt, becoming the sixth team in two weeks to have the title (only Minnesota hasn’t had a reign in that time) and continuing a run of one-and-done champions.
The six other teams had already had a turn with the strap and Colorado waiting so long for its reign has implications for who will ultimately finish the season with the title (as noted before, the Belt will not travel into the playoffs, even if a playoff team ends up with it).
For now, six teams have the chance to hold the hardware at season’s end. Winnipeg is the only team without a path to the title.
Let’s take a look at where the Belt could go.
