If the games are packed it will look better than seeing a basically empty NHL arena like it was in 2011. It would be how everyone said Fargo was a hit the first year they hosted when all the AHL/ECHL arenas in the other sites looked empty. I think this was a dumb choice for a regional site but the selection committee went with it instead of saying how about a different arena in St. Louis or go with Fargo, Loveland, Green Bay, KC or Milwaukee (I have no idea who also bid but these are just options). One big problem with the West and Midwest is no one but 9 to 10 teams bid with Minnesota and North Dakota being the main 2 (I don’t consider Allentown a Midwest regional).

So tickets are going for around $1000. How many people are complaining online 1.) about the NCAA selling tickets that high 2.) they should use the Enterprise Center. Well the tickets are that high because they are being resold and last time they used the Enterprise Center in 2011 the attendance was bad, 5,024 in a 18,096. And they were with BC, Michigan, Omaha, and CC (that regional is always going to be known for the Michigan goal that eliminated Omaha). With hindsight 20/20 Family Arena across the river would have been a better option, but could still have the low attendance like last time the regional was there.

He was calling the CCHA Championship game.

Now its official

Yes they do, because the committee relaxed the requirements so there can be more bids in the west for the west and Midwest regionals.

If only there wasn’t a 10,000 seat arena across the river from this arena.

Can TNT take over, asking for all hockey fans

Cried yesterday but.....

And a Casino right down the street

Interesting argument I saw to keep UMass out and I agree with it. Last time UMass beat a team in the NCAA tournament field was on 10/14/23 against Michigan. Record against teams in the top 16 is 1-8-2. CC is 9-9-1 against the top 16 in the tournament. The RPI difference is .0004

He signed a contract

Michigan is just like Denver scores a lot but gives up a lot of goals.

Looking at his record I see him just being a continuation of Bergeron. Wonder if Unions old coach would want the job.

Last time there was a team with a record like theirs they lost in the title game. They have 10 NTDP players, 8 of them underclassmen

He does live in Denver

2-0 Cornell

For now, the St. Cloud win would have put UMass out
