Well then it's not really a school team. It's a town team, so you might as well be playing Canadian Jr. A. It's the students that make college hockey what it is. Most kids want to play so they can be the BMOC. What kind of girls will they meet after a Platty game Cougars?

I started thinking along those lines, but then it occurred to me that MANY of the people attending the games, started out at the traditional college age - I included. Plattsburgh has a long successful history, under their current coach since 1990; they have had 11 SUNYAC league championships in 18 SUNYAC tournament appearances. He has a 447-141-44 career record (1990-current) at Plattsburgh. And this follows Steve Hoar’s 104-35-1 record from 1984-89. Plattsburgh's aging fan base, maybe attributable to the fact that they haven't had a reason to stop coming - the program's all-time record (1975-2010) is 748 wins, 271 losses and 57 ties.

Re: Utica's Attendance

Why does platty charge $120 for season tickets?!?!? theres your first problem, start charging half that if you want more people than the usual to buy them.Utica season tickets around $40(seat included of course). But yeah, you'd think with how good platty is, that more people would show up at their games there and isint that part of the state like huge when it comes to ice hockey....?

And yes,for the most part the numbers are accurate when it comes to Utica's attendence.Friday night the number should have probably been around 3,900 or so, not the listed 3,500 because there were definitly not 500 seats left at the Aud to sit in.Also on opening night against Brockport State, there were definitly once again more seats available than what they listed.

Utica Will most likley lead D-III again this year because of our coach and his strong & heavely advirtising and promotional techniques. Having $1 beers also helps alot too

ill show up for $1 beer even if there is no game......

Re: Utica's Attendance

Students who want a season ticket must pay regular price, they can get a single FREE ticket - "New this year, Plattsburgh students will be able to obtain tickets on the night of the game between 5:30-6:30 pm at the Field House Box Office Will Call window.

All students must present a valid college ID to obtain a ticket at no cost. If the situation should arise where all 300 student tickets have been distributed, SUNY Plattsburgh will issue "Standing Room Only" tickets to any of our students who wish to attend." that is a problem, while it has been a couple decades since I lived in the dorms, I certainly would not plan my weekend on a "pot-luck" ticket - i.e. pass on planning to do whatever on the weekend or take a chance that my friends and I could snag free tickets - that are off in the corner, offering at best a limited view.

Why do they charge a $120 - because they can and note "We are happy to report that we have reached our capacity for men’s ice hockey season tickets; therefore, we are not accepting any new season ticket requests at this time."

Great campus support headed by Bruce AKA, "chair - of the NCAA Division III Championships Committee." - what a sad joke.

I played for Oswego and now have watched games at Oswego, the studenst have been GREAT for the team, and hope they keep it up...the Platts students dont know what they are missing, but like what was said b4, you will NOT plan your night on a MAYBE ticket to a game......

Cougars are Washington State - Isn't Platty the Cardinals?

Or it goes back to the average age of Cardinal fans being in their 40's...and some females being included in such a demographic...

It is a little discouraging when the majority of Cardinal fans that show up at the CC are very quiet - I would tend to say that comes with the average age being so high. The Geneseo and Morrisville bunches that show up are a hoot to start shouting matches with though. They're pretty young and full of beans.
