How many of the early sold tickets are Utica fans that bought weekend tix? Will they show up and who will they root for? In any case it should be exciting

The Utica fans were actively rooting against Hobart yesterday fwiw

That's hard to say, but I'm guessing that many UU fans will show up for the local flavor, alone. There were many Utica old-timers at the HC/Aurora game, somewhat to my surprise.
I, (perhaps stupidly), shelled out $240 for the weekend before Stout bounced Utica, but I'm glad I did it at this juncture.
Good hockey on Friday, and I'm hoping the final will be a close one. Perhaps Beaver will look merely mortal for a change..?
Was there any issue that you know of regarding Hobart/Hamilton fans getting tickets? I might have two free ones tomorrow, and they're e-tix. I'll know for sure by noon.

One dot x 3 right now. Might have another on the map tomorrow.So does the new “Champy Triangle” now run from Geneva to Hamilton to Utica? Or is it more appropriately a “Champy Dot”
No issues getting tickets. I bought early and then bought additional tix in Hobart allotment. to be among the friendlies. Looks like very few tix left.There is a Hobart pre game gathering at Saranac Brewery(Hobart grad family are owners) . I'm thinking Hamilton will benefit from the proximity , and the usual rooting for the underdog by the independent Hockey fan, so Hobart fans will need to cheer even louder. Hobart has no problem getting up to beat one of the NESCAC schools. Beaver is very humble and a cool cat, so I'm hoping his 4 year dream career ends well.

The Brewery is a great place. We did the tour last February with some friends. I did it about 40 years ago when it was West End Brewery. They had samples of Maximus Super !! That was the high-test of Utica Club !! Good luck today.
Many congrats to Hamilton. The class of the NESCAC all year, recovered nicely from that late-on little stumble, the only ones to take down Hobart.
And on behalf of the Middlebury fans, thanks for ensuring the five-in-a-row NCAA title streak is not at risk for at least a half-decade again!

Honestly don’t think that streak will ever be broken. But I also didn’t think anyone could win three in a row in this era either.
Great game, and what a weekend overall. Utica is an outstanding host city; I didn't think the building would be as lively once UU lost in the quarters, but that shows what I know! A sellout with not very many no-shows made for an atmosphere as good as you'll find for any hockey championship. Tremendous game between two great teams, and congratulations to the Continentals for overcoming allowing the 1st goal and being on their heels for much of the first 20 to come back and not only get back in the game, but win it as well.
Congrats to Hamilton, well played. Played the Breakout perfectly.
Three in a row is tough….four even tougher. Makes Midds 5 in a row very impressive! Undefeated seasons are tougher.. thinking back to RIT’s bid for one, and more recently, Patriots-GIANTS.
Hamilton is only four years away from tying it.

The GWG scored by an alumnus of Elmira's NAHL club; saw him play a number of times last season. Wish EC could keep a couple of those kids in town.
44 D3 kids already in the Xfer Portal since the beginning of March. I didn't think that D3 would be affected to that extent!? But I've been wrong before.
