Bemidji State offseason, WCHA, BREC here we come!

Re: Bemidji State offseason, WCHA, BREC here we come!

Alright, I had a little time here, and this is what I was able to come up with from Wiki (arena size from USCHO....Metro Population from Wiki.....Size of the arena compared to Metro size)


UAA: 6206....359180....1.72%
Bemidji State: ~4700....43169....10.9%
CC: 7343....626227....1.17%
Denver: 6026....3110436....0.19%
Michigan Tech: 4200....38000....11.05%
Minnesota: 10000....3383503....0.30%
Mankato: 4832....89567....5.39%
Duluth: 5233 (current DECC)....230183....2.27%
Nebraska-Omaha: 16680....858720....1.94%
North Dakota: 11634....97190....12.0%
St. Cloud: 5763....189148....3.05%
Wisconsin: 15237....601283....2.53%

If you look at those numbers, Bemidji's arena is actually on the high end when comparing it to the metro area populations. If they would have went to 7000-8000, you would have been looking at 20% of the area needed to fill the building.

That's some fantastic info there Millsy...

So, you're telling me BSU's gonna have the third "largest" rink in the league?

Greetings Beaver nation!

I'm a long time CC fan and I just have to say how excited I am to have BSM in the WCHA. I always enjoy watching BSM come to the World Arena and I like any team that is capable of beating DU. I look forward to seeing your new rink in the near future; when the Tigers eventually make it up there to play you guys.

Have a great summer! Only five more monthes 'til hockey!

Can I also point out that these three are clearly the exception to the rule. UND draws from Fargo and the rest of the state, plus several areas in NW Minnesota too.

Continuing with my, "what if" scenerio, look at MTU and their struggles. They averaged only 2164 (and had as few as 1444 for a game vs. SCSU) last year in their 4200 "seat" rink (I believe it actually has ~ 3700 seats, plus has room for an additonal 500 standing room) based mostly on performance.

For fun, I just plugged in the 2399 for the John Glas Fieldhouse, and that drops Bemidji down to 5.56%, which is still third on the list.

So why'd y'all build the new rink, then?

On the BSU Recruit front:

The USHL draft started today and in the first round, Sam Rendle went to the Indiana Ice at #10 and Zack Franco went to Ceder Rapids at #12.

Wonder if BSU-Alum and now Cedar Rapids Assistant Coach Travis Winter had any say in the Zach Franko first draft pick?! Should be great development for him.

Also- BSU Recruit Brad Robbins picked in 4th round by Waterloo.
