Absolutely, I lived in Colorado Springs for the past three years and we used to get a fantastic turn out at both rinks. In fact two years ago at Magness I would go as far to say that nearly a quarter of the rink was Sioux fans and we made more noise, but for good reason, the Sioux scored 10 goals in the Friday game and 6 on the Saturday. I was right behind the Pioneer bench and it was the best $48.00 on hockey tickets that I ever spent.
Last year we had a great alumni dinner at the World Arena prior to the Saturday night game, with the coaches and their wives. I was chewing the fat with Eades and this one guy walked up to join our conversation wearing a Badger Jersey. Poor guy didn't realize the history of the man, kind of like waving red in front of the bull.
