MafiaMan Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 While this move makes logistical sense in terms of proximity to other Big East schools, I hope UConn can put hockey on the map at a school where basketball is king (and queen). Quote
watchmaker49 Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 FYP - As a a Bruins fan we used to give Hartford Whailer fans crap that they play in a mall. The arena is in a shopping mall. And what is the selling point of buiding arenas and stadiums? That there will be development around the new arena. What did Wilf want to build in Ramsey County? Quote
