Website Back Up and Running!

The Great Plains website along with the NCRHA, College Hockey Message Boards, and five other regions website were not accessible for approximately two weeks. Moreover, they were not accessible to the individual region's Web Directors for nearly another two weeks. Fortunately, all is well now and the systems have been upgraded. The problem started with the large amount of traffic due to many regions having events on the same weekends. Since most statistics, scores, and schedules were being updated continuously throughout the weekend, the amount of traffic to the sites was too much for the servers to handle. Because of this, the sites were shut down as a precaution to other websites housed on the same servers. Since our traffic was too much for the previous servers, the NCRHA bought a personal server for the websites. NCRHA Website Director Mike Burke quickly translated the website's language into one that the server could read. Fortunately for the NCRHA and its regions, Burke's hard work paid off and they are back up and able to be updated. Please stay tuned to the Great Plains website for the schedules, statistics, and previous scores to be updated.
