If you had attended any of the last 6 games you would know more that 1000 people have been showing up? Well over that the last 3 games…Closer to 2500 by my estimates. Ask any EC fan on this board.
Just because the Paper may print 1000 people attended doesnt mean thats how many really attend....
But again if that’s the real number the committee and NCAA is going by, shame on Elmira for not posting correct Attendance figures.
Again, as I have stated, every year we hear the NCAA is in it for the $$$$ and how they can spend the least amount and make the most of it.
I just think they blew it in the $$$$ aspect this year…That’s all.

I've been to several Elmira games, especially the ones where they say there are 1500 there and there is maybe 750....spare me...

Whatever. So competitive that both semi-final games in the MCHA ended in 9-2 blowouts?

Just like that 9-2 blowout Oswego had of Bowdoin in the NCAA quarterfinals last year? How soon we forget! That game sure got you guys ready for your next one too didn't it?

Thanks, you proved my point...someone cant count.
If you had been to the last 3 games you would have seen the reverse. 1500 reported...in all actuality 2500 or more.

Doesn't matter who's right here - the game will still be in MICHIGAN...

You are absolutely correct. Good for Adrian. Im sure they will be a great host.

Maybe in the future they can somehow plan a regular season series with each other.

Yea because I'm sure they would miscount 1200 people on the positive side of things.......

Which was exactly the point, it happens in both regions. The original post implied it only happens in the East. I don't see what Oz blowing out Bowdoin has to do with losing to Norberts, but...ok. Nice point, you got me there.

As we frequently say in DIII hockey, it is what it is...

It's not the NCAA's fault that the East Committee dropped Elmira to #3. The rules clearly state that in the case of a cross-region matchup, the team with the higher seed in their respective region hosts and with Adrian as the 2 and Elmira as the 3, the Bulldogs get to host.

If Elmira was kept at #2, they would be hosting Adrian, no ifs ands or buts about it. Plattsburgh got bumped to #2, which accomplished nothing in terms of where they would end up eventually. Regardless, they were going to host the Curry/Norwich winner whether they were #3 or #2 in the East.

Instead, by dropping Elmira to #3 all of sudden in the final rankings, the East lost a quarterfinal host site and failed to protect one of their top seeds.

The West outplayed the East this year.

On last nights Behind The Bench Bob Emery disclosed that actually with the NCAA cirteria Plattsburgh should have had the number 2 spot in the previous weeks poll. He did not know why they weren't. You can listen to the recorded show on www.wiry.com

Is this history in the making? Will this be the first NCAA D-III Ice Hockey National Championship game in the State of Michigan?

Remy I'm not whining about the committee going by the numbers. I want to know why Elmira was still two last week and then all of a sudden this week they are 3. That's what I don't get. Especially when it cost the east a home game.

Dan, if the committee could go back and change the rankings why wouldn't they have done so so that Elmira would have hosted?

1985, I don't dislike the players. They play hard and I feel sorry for the kid who broke his wrist and couldn't play in the Playoffs. I will leave it at that.

Why do teams report inaacurate attendance figures?? I think it has to do with recruiting!
