      True, but it kind of makes me worry that they may take their foot off the gas. Probably not, as this group seems to play at one speed no mater who they're playing. Thanks Shabby for getting back to hockey. The noise on here the past 2 days has been down right boring. I'm thinking that Elmira is the sleeper come playoffs and Stevenson will be the hardest out if it comes to that. What's the outlook for 'Gate? Looks like a top 4 is a long shot but haven't look at it in a while. Hoping to get down for a game soon.

        Gate will finish between 5th and eighth and have a home playoff series, they're offensively challenged. Might come over tonight to check out this team, on paper they look very very good !
        It all starts with the goaltending.

          The Utica FF was fairly typical in that respect.

          D-3 hockey is a cottage industry at best, and it would take a perfect storm of geography to fill any decent-sized venue in any given season.

          Can you possibly imagine say, 5000 tickets sold for a D-3 FF anywhere on Earth?

          I can't.

              Hopefully see you there. We're in section 206. I'll keep an eye out for you and maybe buy you a pop, because the only reason I go to UC games is to drink $5 beers (ha ha). I think you'll like what you see. Lots of speed with good defense.

                That doesn't direct well, but this table shows attendance at all D3Championship games contested on neutral ice since 2000. This includes neutral hosted sites, and games played at hosted sites that didn't include the host team.

                  Pretty sure that the 2006 tournament at Elmira was (the first?) neutral site tournament. Elmira making the tournament that year was somewhat controversial.

                  Of course I attended the Utica NCAA tournament. Even had to buy an "extra" ticket when I left the Aud after the afternoon game to go back to the college to pick up my wife in order to come back to the evening game. (One ticket for Friday, with no re-admit.......somewhat controversial with the fans.)

                    Utica wins 5-1 over Wilkes. Utica Pioneers are the 2020 UCHC regular season champions. Wilkes finishes in 2nd.


                    The UC seniors have won 4 regular season championships....one ECAC-West and three UCHC.

                      Great win. Top to bottom they looked good

                        I was worried that perhaps they'd "peaked too early"...

                        Not worried about that anymore. This team gasses opponents with their wheels.

                        UC will be a very tough out for anyone, IMO.

                        I'm going to stick my neck out and predict a FF berth. I have seen every iteration of UC hockey, and I think that this one is the best ever.

                              Prof, not to editorialize either, but it's kind of curious that Minneapolis had the lowest attendance.

                              I guess that it's not a "hockey town".

                                Ya know, PSUCk has nothing to do with PSU hockey, but she just can't help herself via the trolling. Been on that job for years and years. Maybe she should take-up knitting.

                                I don't even read her wordy rants. Not worth the time.
