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.

Re: Utica College hockey. ..Can we catch a break this season?
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.)

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.Last edited by Fishman'81; 02-22-2020, 09:53 PM.

Re: Utica College hockey. ..Can we catch a break this season?
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".Last edited by Fishman'81; 02-22-2020, 10:58 PM.
