Been thinking about going down for the BU game... haven't seen Agganis yet and maybe Maine spoils BU(t)s undefeated season then....

There's nothing wrong with it. It's nice enough. But you'll miss WBA.

I wuz at WBA twice I think...onec when Scott Pellerin taught BU proper hawkey, once when Pauley and the twins skooled the derrieres in the game.... fun times. Low tin ceilings, nothing like it

According to their press release, the next game to be televised is the game on the 14th vs. BU

and looking at the Hockeyeastonline composite tv schedule, nothing there as well...

I don't understand that. There hasn't been any games on WPME all year. I swear there was a new deal in place. It's bullchit. 7 Games total on TV????? Absurd.

One of the Union games was on TV.

Only 7 are being aired on local TV and I think one more on NESN.

This is the two year agreement announcement

Forgot about the Union game. But still only 7 is kinda pathetic when you are trying to rebuild the fan base and enthusiasm for the program. Once again I give the marketing dept an F.

I know for me it's easier and cheaper to travel south, UML, Mack even BU and BC. I always go to 1 or 2 games in Orono but for pure economics even if tix prices were cut in 1/2 I still wouldn't travel up to Orono more than twice a year.

Are either of us ever going to pay $700 to $800 for two season tickets living so far away? Absolutely not, but if we could get a couple tickets for $300 to $400 it might be worth it, even if we know we're not going to get to every game. I'm sure that there are a lot of other people in the same boat. I think the best bet for the school would be to cut season ticket prices in half and maybe leave the single game ticket prices the same. I'd sell the obstructed view seats for really cheap, maybe $125 a piece for the season. The arena isn't going to be full again until the school takes drastic action. Making the NCAA's a couple years ago didn't help and neither did going 13-3 at home last year.

2-0 Umass. Back to back goals late in the second period....

First goal was as bad as any Maine has conceded all year. Four Maine players standing on the left side of the net while two UMass players are all alone in front.

Unfortunately nothing new there.

Byron banks one in off of Mastalerz to give Maine a 3-2 lead with 1:23 left

Re: UMaine Hockey 2014-15: The Road from Alfond to Boston

Byron adds an empty netter at the buzzer that winds up not counting.

3-2 Maine win.
