        Yes, it will be on WBIN and some obscure Fox College Sports channel I'm sure I don't get on RCN.

                  Definitely one of the handful of regular season HE games deserving of attention

                    Is it really hard to sell 2,489 tickets to a Hockey East game? Nice to see, but it would say something about the program if every MC game wasn't sold out.
                    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                      Go back a few years. There was hardly anyone there. Also, Providence with an enrollment twice as big and a bigger brand name, hardly ever sells out and if they were honest, there were never more than 1200 people in the arena for the last few years. Even this year with the team doing better, only three PC home games have had over 2,000 in attendance (BU, first Duluth game and Merrimack). The Friars average attendance is 1604. Also, Northeastern with an enrollment a million times bigger than Merrimack's is averaging 3,073 (66% of capacity) this year, much below their capacity. I also found several UMass-Amherst games with their crowd almost 2/3 empty and they only average 4,613 (55% capacity).

                      All attendance stats were found on College Hockey News.

                      I wasn't looking for praise of Merrimack for the advanced sell out, but it shows how far the program has come that the next three games are already sold out.

                        Can't argue with this. Glad we're packing them in now.

                          I missed both trips to Merrimack last year so I'm looking forward to seeing the arena with seats.

                          According to the Bosotn Hockey Blog's Twitter feed, Coach Parker said that Max Nicastro will not be ready to play this Friday. So, congrats on winning the season series Merrimack! #prematuresandbagging

                            You'll probably have a few more in the infirmary come Saturday morning.

                              No Nicastro and no Privitera. Ouch. I thought Nicastro was excellent in the last game at Agganis (although I was most impressed by Clendening; he was really in control of that game).Hope Sheen is not out. If he got slashed on the same wrist he injured at PC, that could be more than a 1 game problem.

                              BU was going great until they ran into an angry Ursus Americanus speed bump last week. I'm glad MC is done with Maine (until a potential playoff meeting).

                              I'm going with 3-2 Merrimack. Joe C gives up the standard 2 goals, and Warriors figure out a way to get a trio past Millan.
