beersong Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I just bought my tickets for the tourny and all I can say is, what a joke! There is no way all them seats are sold out! There is either something wierd going on or this tourny is going to have more attendance than the X did and I doubt that! I have always been a supporter of the new NCHC, but I'm starting to have my doubts! You can get tickets half way up in the lower deck by the face off circles, and at center ice in the upper deck. Not sure what you expected? Especially since tickets have been on sale for several months through member schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxweet Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 This game could be the difference of making the ncaa's or not making for bubble teams though. yep, there were two instances in hakstol's tenure where a third place game helped them 2005 when they beat minny and secured a two seed and 2008 when they beat cc which gave them a one seed that year. but the 2009 third place game didn't do much for them.

Than you have a magic computer, I chose all lower bowl sections one at a time and the only one that didnt say "sorry this section has no seats available" was right behind the net ( which I took) or the corners! Hopefully you were smart enough to choose more than one seat? I was choosing two! Also the presale seating had limited choices! I have searched each time and I called the Target center during the "presale" and they said "most of the good seats won't be available till Aug 1st"! Besides the presales were for a week to ten days at a time not, "for months" But thanks for the attack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that time, they weren't assigning seats yet so you were just reserving a spot in line. I wrote them where I wanted my seats to be, and they accomodated completely. I received my seat locations on July 13th. Apparently a lot of people were willing to take advantage of these early sales and filled up the prime seats.

I got the same email about buying seats early, with the "no assigned seats" that wasn't for me! As far as all the "prime seats filling up by July" you don't really believe that do you? This has been happening for years and the X would have many prime seat tickets available when the teams were close to being decided. I always had season tickets but many friends bought toward the end and had many prime choices! I know they are different size arenas. Maybe that's why they had them available because they would lock so many till the end? Just seems odd to me??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big A HG Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 That is a GREAT trophy. Wow! So often nowadays people try to reinvent the wheel when it comes to trophies. This, however, has a great traditional feel that doesn't look cheap or chintzy. Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone see this? I saw it, it's on the NCHC twitter feed. I'd name it after Murray Armstrong. If you have twitter and want to make a suggestion use the #NCHCChamp.

Blackheart Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 NCHC playoff tourney name? Nacho Libre Nacho Supreme Natty Bumpo the Nacho-Quatro the Final Five...sorry, just a little too much WCHA history spilling over... Fantastic Four Frozen Four...that one might be in use already... Bruce McLeod Frozen Felons the St. Cloud will lose 'no matter how good they are during the regular season' tourney... Fearsome Foursome (thanks L.A. Rams) Subway Classic Fighting Sioux Classic the Otto or the Otto-matic Qualifier, maybe call it the OQ (after former WCHA commish Otto Breitenbach) and finally... the Archie (after Jim Archibald) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
