Re: Ferris State Hockey '10-11-Or how I learned to stop worrying and love the penalty
You are correct. The referees did wear nameplates last year. To take those off is a poor move. It was a poor move when the NHL did so, and it's a poor move at the NCAA level as well. It's like they want to cover up for poor officiating.
As for the attendance, the University is making all the right moves. The student section, from what you have told me, is reasonably full. They've put the game times in the proper slot. The team is 3-1, with probably a better non-con schedule than what we had last year through the first four games. We've marketed all we can market. We're never going to get much better of a home schedule, with Michigan and Michigan State coming in twice. Let's face it. Boston College, Minnesota and Wisconsin aren't coming into Ewigleben anytime soon. We're doing the best with what we've got. The rest is on the community.
