While watching the US-swiss game today I heard a interesting stat. Of the 23 players on Team USA, 17 played collegiate hockey .

ahhhh when did they make the move? I knew they played in a barn that seats a lot. I think your estimation in terms of seating is about right for them. They have a huge following and are in a bigger city than oxford (not hard). However I do think at some point Miami will add seats down the road. Last weekend the qwest center looked almost full, granted it was michigan but still you get 13-14 k in Nebraska is pretty good. Makes Ohio st. look awful, but that hasn't been hard lately lol.

I think they've been there for at least 5 seasons. Wiki says it opened in '03.

Since interesting stats were brought up I found this one interesting reading the Miami Student today...over the last 7 games Miami has outscored opponents 13-0 in the first period. This was a problem at the beginning of the season, hopefully we can keep this going.

LOL, I was trying to count them when I saw guys on the ice! Good to know.

Take anything the Miami student prints with a grain of salt lol

Now that is counting Duncan Keith who played both, but still a great number for the college game IMO. On the flip side only 4 canadians of the 23 went the college route, which includes Miamian Dan Boyle who looks really really good tonight.

Yea looks like the 13-0 first period run is right. Even more so impressive may be that during those 7 games, we've outscored teams 36-10.

I don't know if anyone else noticed but during the Canada-Norway game the announcer mentioned us! WOOT WOOT! It was while Danny Boyle was out on the ice they said something like "from Miami University #1 college hockey team right now"

***Snaps for Olympic announcers***

Boyle also added 2 assists and a +4...not too shabby.

Also, flying under the radar stat... Wingles looks to join the century club by this seasons end. Currently he has a 40-51--91 line in 115 games. Next up on the list are Cannone 26-61--87 in 115 games, and Miele with 33-47--80 in 90 games.

Palmer, Miele, Wingles, Schilling, Hirschfeld, Brandon, Weber, Vogelhuber, and Tomassoni have all already set career high points marks this season. Not as impressive for the younger guys, but the top three definitely.

True, but play like that simply won't cut it if he ever expects to be a member of the Tampa Bay Lightning

Speaking of Dan Boyle, it was great to see him back in Oxford a couple of weeks ago. Got a much deserved ovation and he looked like he was happy to be back for a night.

Ironic you posted this I was just looking at some career stats and saw Wingels was close and that Cannone and Miele are well on their way.

I've been very impressed with Brandon Smith this year when he has gotten an opportunity to play. Not a bad way to go out your senior year.
