I'll be there for the first night. Gotta go out of town for the weekend on Saturday.

I'll be there for the second night only unfortunately, so hopefully it's a Championship game for Lowell.

Spending the night in eastern Connecticut doesn't excite you

I'll be there for just the Friday game too.

Odd question.. I started a puck collection from each college rink I've been to a few years back. All done with Hockey East now and am slowly starting to work my way through Atlantic Hockey.

Patman (or anyone associated with UConn..), do you know if UConn has a souvenir store in the rink? Maybe I'd be better off going through the bookstore?


Thanks!

both options are usually pretty bad... UConn tends not to have a souvenir shop (Dobbs, true, right?) and the bookstore has limited amount of anything related to hockey. I'd just duck down into the far end of the GA section and wait for the inevitable... or possibly behind the far net and hope that one pops out on the other side of the glass

Interesting though... I have a UConn game puck but not a Lowell one... again, speaking to the ease of snaring a puck at the respective venues.

I have a similar collection that includes a UConn puck, which IIRC, I purchased at the university bookstore around five years ago. Not sure if they still sell them but I would start there.

The pro shop's been gone for a good number of years, but I don't recall them ever having souvy pucks. I wanna say I've found one at the Co-op while I was undergrad, but I can't say for certain since I haven't been in the bookstore in a while.

So $2 for a ticket ... this will be the cheapest sporting event I've ever been to.

RPI student tickets were $.25 when I started.

Edit: I think that all RPI sports except hockey and football are still free.

OK, I should have said cheapest since I was a student.

Ralph, will you be there?

I've paid exactly $0 for a UConn hockey game.

Granted it was the emergency reschedule of last year's home game with Army that had to be moved to the XL Center on a moment's notice because they were worried about the Frietas roof collapsing with the weight of the snow.

pulling student rate

edit: I can't even begin to say how annoyed I am about not being there

UConn has a promotional rate for GA tickets. They passed the info on to Scott Donnelly who passed it on to me since I had asked him about tickets.

Try $1 per ticket - the $2 promo rate is for BOTH games on a given day ($4 will cover you for the whole tourney). The seating is pretty bad - it's all bleachers and I don't think any are above the top of the glass. The place is on-par with a public rental rink and makes It's a Messa rink look palatial - I stopped by today for public skate to get a look (never been there before).

And if that didn't excite you, it turns out Rene Rancourt is going to be there Thursday to sing the anthem for the 7:00 game.
