6 in each. Longest flight in division would be roughly 4 hours. The East travel is light. West isn’t terrible either.
In division you play each other 4 times a year for conference play. 5 x 4 for 20 divisional games. Four cross over series that rotates yearly
for a 28 game slate. 8-12 non conference games but let’s let these kids play more games in College Hockey. You don’t need multiple bye weeks playing 2 tilts a week.

-4-6 odd conference tournament playoff games

That’s how hockey will really grow and excel at the collegiate level.
