Re: Colgate 2014-2015: Part II

Yes, the class raised many millions of $$ to finance the NAF, also got the naming rights. The rink will be named after Steve Riggs, a great hockey player from the Class of '65 who died in Vietnam.

Yes, it was Joey Mormina I was thinking of, thx. Used to go to the Utica Devils games and I thought they were boisterous. Must be out of sight now.

Out of mind too !

Too bad about Comets in Game 1. I have whiplash from trying to watch AHL & NHL playoffs at same time...sheesh.

Racine looks like a good one, Clarkson has two.

Looks like our games against the National Champs will be a little easier with acciari's departure.

Comets are in a hole

I'm impressed by Racine's history/numbers.

(This thread is a combined 'Gate/Comets discussion, sorry)

Comets are in a hole

But a smaller hole after yesterday's win. Win tomorrow an they're tied and not in a hole at all.

All I can say is electric...I've never been to louder games in my life and I've been to probably 1500 or more.

It'd be nice if they slightly turned the construction camera and zoomed out a bit... seems to be a bunch of stuff going on stage left. As much as watching that orange box is fascinating...

There is a much better view of the construction posted by Steve on the Colgate voy forum website. It is also posted as a twitter feed on Colgate Edu which can be accessed on the athletic website. Look for the link in the upper right hand corner of the homepage. (I wish I was intelligent enough to post a link here, but I'm not!) Looks like they are making good progess on the rink. There is hope.

Comets They had a good run and their fans are unbelievable.

Re: Colgate 2014-2015: Part II

I have never seen such a run, even Gate in 1990.
I was obv more into the 1990 Gate run, but the whole city of Utica was into the Comets on and off the ice. Three nights of home games #3,#4, and #5 sold out 3815 tix in FOUR minutes !!! All three games in four minutes total.

Have to put this run third in my life behind only 2003 Gate football and 1990 hockey. Live hockey until 06-13-2015, May was my latest.

Yeah, pretty remarkable. Going into mid-June with Utica still alive is quite something. I don't think the Utica Devils ever went this far (?).

It's not live, but there's still hockey on June - tonight & possibly Wed w/ Chi and TB. All of these playoffs seem to go 7 games, so I'm betting on the Bolts tonight.

Re: Colgate 2014-2015: Part II

Colgate's schedule is pretty much pieced together. The only thing missing is the Mercyhurst series. 11/12 December looks like the best possibility (they're playing Michigan on the weekend of 16/18 October). Another fairly unlikely possibility is to play them on 3/4 October.
