Re: LSSU hockey 2013-14

Why not invite the Soo Greyhounds for the OHL to play an ex. at the famous Puller Ice Rink downtown Soo.

Didnt the Red Wings usto have training camp at the famous Puller?

How about playing NMU in exhibition LSSU at the Puller? Isnt the Puller the original rink for LSSU? Go back to using the Puller for some games and might spark some interest in LSSU hockey again.

NCAA teams can't play exhibitions against OHL teams. Not can they play exhibitions against other D-1 teams. Why would they play NMU at a place that has 1/3 the seating of the Abel Arena? Are you going to charge triple the price for a ticket? And by the way, it's PullAr. Ever been there? Maybe Tech could play NMU at the Dee, or the Calumet Armory. Maybe Lake State could host the Toronto Maple Leafs!

It would be nice if the teams could play exhibitions in these old rinks you mentioned like the Pullar or the Dee.

I have never been to the Pullar but I read about on the internet.

It would be cool if they could play exhibitions at the Dee, Pullar, and Lakeview with rivals and wear old uniforms and invite the coaches who coached the teams from the 1970's back to help coach the teams and have Ron Mason coach LSSU. Rick Comley coach NMU and Dan Farrell coach MTU since the old MTU HC is dead.

These games would be more exciting then the 13-0 scores of playing exciting Canadian college teams to begin the season.

The WCHA and CCHA could be relieved for one more night by playing these kind of exhibitions in early October to bring the old fans back to where it started at the Pullar, Dee, and Lakeview.

Except that D-1 teams can't play exhibitions against one another.

What about the US Hall of Fame game isnt that between an exhibition game against each other. I dont know if they play this anymore.

Looking at the attendence numbers of the LSSU, NMU and MTU and what places they have finished it would be great to bring back some of those old season ticket holders to these teams and this would make some intrest from some old fans as the Old WCHA and CCHA could be played again. Old Uniforms, old coaches and old stadiums. Retro style.

The Hall of Fame game is not an exhibition. It counts in the NCAA records. It is exempt from you game count, just like games in Alaska. For someone who knows everything, you sure don't know much.

I would like games between NMU/MTU/LSSU played at the old arenas the Lakeview/Pullar/Dee.

So you'd take that crowd if 3800 for a Tech-NMU game at the Ice Arena and turn it into 1200 at the Dee? Lakeview now seats anout 2200 and the seats on the bench side are lousy. The Pullar, less than half the seating of the Taffy. Wow, what a brilliant idea. Have you applied for a marketing job?

Most of the teams are lucky to get 2000 fans when they play each other.

Actually, you are dead wrong. NMU/Tech on a Tuesday in Marquette drew 3509 last year.. 2653 on a Tuesday in Houghton. The prior year, playing weekend dates, 3880 in Marquette playing on Christmas break and 3708 in Houghton. The only time there have been low crowds is playing on Christmas break in the Soo. Yeah, let's play Tech-NMU at the Dee and shut out twice as many fans as we let in. To quote Rapidcity, "Brilliant!"

Re: LSSU hockey 2013-14

Isn't alcohol sold at some of the events such as the awards banquet, and post game gatherings, which are held on campus at the Cisler Center?

LSSU only has a liquor license for catering in the Cisler Center.

LSSU/NMU do not need to (and shouldn't) play games at Pullar/Lakeview. Pink Pony, time to get in touch with reality.
