Here is a program that is going down the tubes just like previous others and has had fundraisers to help bring money into the program and yet we force them to travel and buy ice time elsewhere.
I would think a bus ride to and from Houghton is cheaper then the team staying in a hotel all week
I remember how kind the gophers were to allow Alaska to practice on their ice when they didn't want to travel home earlier in the year.
I believe that UAA wasn't playing the Rodents, they were playing UMD and MSU-M. They just practiced at Minny in-between.
It's not like they are going to beat us if we let them practice in our home.
There are no guarantees, and this IS the playoffs. Why give them any advantage?
