    Absolutely correct. He wanted the fans right on top of the action. The great sight lines were a big reason why we decided to become inaugural season ticket holders.

        Hopefully you are referring to one outside Pres Dean's office to shield the media from seeing MS7 being shown the door. Let the healing begin! :-)

            In somewhat related news, Mayor Joyce Craig forming an exploratory committee to bring hockey back to Manch Vegas.

                  Yellow crime scene tape would be more appropriate, molesting a perfectly healthy rink and all.

                          Hockey in the Queen City would be fabulous again! Always sad to see that big building just sitting empty...

                          A NH tournament to start the season would be super awesome. Even just a "NH Hockey Day" event. A triple header across all levels of NCAA... DIII - PSU v NEC, DII - SNHU v Saint A's, DI - UNH v Dartmouth.

                            Oh left out Dartmouth! Absolutely! I think it would be great and I believe it would pull a crowd! I nominate Chuck to organize it all...

                              A better idea than UNH playing SNHU, NEC, and PSU imo. If you beat them it's no big deal since you're supposed to, if it's close it's as good as losing, and if you actually lose... welp...

                              A while back when the Riverstone attendance started dipping and Lowell was beginning to get hot I suggested a holiday tournament with UNH & Lowell vs two invitees in Manchester as it is nearly equidistant for the Riverhawks, could easily repackage this in to the Icebreaker.
                              Though now, several years on, I dread to think what our attendance would look like for a game in Manchester... Might not be great for the brand.

                                If Quinnipiac doesn’t pull this out, we move one step closer to the possibility of an all-Minnesota FF. With friends and former colleagues who attended each of the four schools, I cannot tell you how intolerably insufferable such an outcome will be. If there is a god, it CAN’T happen.
