Colgate 2021-22

ECAC coaches poll has us fifth with the usual top four...RPI sixth, SLU 7th...with the exception of (per usual) Harvard and Cornell the Ivies look sick (although I think Dartmouth will be better than expected)...

CU13, it was good, but not great. It was mostly students and they hung around up top near the pizza, ice cream and XBox raffle. As I left, many were headed in to sign the waivers and then join the open skate.
Hopefully this was just the start of fun marketing ploys to get more people, students and community members, into the modern ice arena. I definitely think that everyone there, players and attendees, enjoyed themselves.

[CU13]

Iowa, thanks for the recap! Sounds like a good time. How was the turnout?

[iowabasedtraveler]

Hockey Night in Hamilton, N.Y., was fun and everything that they advertised in advance. The men and women were combined for the skills competition, but divided up as an International team and an American team. The International team won most (if not all) competitions. Nick Belpedio shot the puck at 96 mph to win that round. It definitely reminded me how talented all ‘Gate players are, especially in the passing accuracy department. Hopefully some of the students that attended (and skated afterwards) will come back on game nights.

[CU13]

Absolutely, Iowa! This is a great way to start off the season and garner interest in the programs! I hope other events such as this will continue throughout the season. Go 'gate!

[iowabasedtraveler]

Hockey Night in Hamilton (N.Y.) is Monday, September 19, at 7 p.m. at the Class of 1965 Arena.
Free pizza and Gilligan's ice cream.
Free raffle for game-worn jerseys and an X-Box.
Open skate for all fans.
Students will receive the official student section shirt for the year.
Teams (men and women, I believe) compete in skill competitions.

Give the Colgate hockey programs credit for reaching out to the students and the community.

DavyD83, not to my knowledge, so I will let others reply. But, feel free to email me at iowabasedtraveler at yahoo dot com if you have a specific need for transportation. It is not a big effort to go from the airport to the school (and back again).

[davyd83]

Is there any kind of shuttle or bus from Colgate to the Syracuse airport?

[iowabasedtraveler]

Two Colgate at ASU hockey tickets for Friday-Saturday, October 14-15, have been purchased for Dartmouth Doug and myself for a total of $306.75. What a freakin’ steal. Hotel and airline reservations were made in June. One happy camper here. Last season I logged in Oceanside Rink for LIU at ASU. This season I log in The Mullett.

All Bruins fans welcome here !

[bruinsfan11]

That all sounds good to me

[iowabasedtraveler]

bruins fan 11,
I get a Colgate season ticket, plus I upgrade to Sullivan Suite access. It is cash bar, but I get the Sullivan Suite access just so I can graze on the buffet pre-game and between periods each night. On a typical two-game weekend, one night is usually snacky finger foods and the other night is a hot meal. I live 90 minutes away, so I like just knowing that I will have a small buffet waiting for me each night. The Sullivan Suite is located in the end and I don’t enjoy that view (poor depth perception, I guess). So that is why I still have my seat up high near center ice (my preferred vantage point). Plus I buy the special parking pass. All-in-all, I am a happy camper each game night. A win is just a bonus. he he he

[bruinsfan11]

Is the Sullivan Suite anything special/worth paying an extra $20 if I’m likely to only make it to one game at Colgate???

[sshablak]

I see 31 games played and 29 points last year. I don't trust CHN anymore though.

[TheGreenCoat]

I think the above numbers on Neuharth are incorrect (no surprise)...roughly a point/game for the first year player...
