The way Conte was set up tonight, if you were coming in on a ticket (like most BU fans would) you came in the same side the cameras and sound were on; if you came in on a student pass you could come in the other side. So that partly explains why the sound was biased in the BU direction. But BU also did a better job showing up: they had a larger band and a more vocal crowd. This is only my second year following BC, but a lot of the marketing has been slightly more slipshod this year than last: Skate with the Eagles is less well organized, the media guide has the players in no order (not number, not name, not year) and can only be downloaded in several pieces, even the team poster is smaller this year than last. And of course the site doesn't have a decent mobile version, even though CBS Sports seem to provide that as an easy option which other schools like Harvard take advantage of. You have to hope that next year when Carpenter is back, Field / Skarupa / Anastos are still around, there are three U18s in the freshman crop and the team is a serious challenger for the national title, the AD will put more resources into promoting this great team and this great sport. The team really responds to a good crowd -- their best games (@Vermont, @Cornell, @Harvard) have been in front of big crowds -- and they deserve to get one.
Is there some sort of Hockey East rule against BC fans cheering unless they score? Even right after a BC goals, BU fans are still making more noise. Then there is that whole feature of dimming the lights right after to make it impossible for those watching online to get the numbers of the players involved. Maybe it is dramatic for those in attendance, but since they seem to all be BU supporters, is it really worth the effort?

I almost added Capizzano, but I would have had to check the spelling of her name, and now that McLean is getting more ice time, she doesn't have the tiny market cornered. For Field, if there is a rush where it is a one-on-three and the puck shouldn't go in but does anyway, then that is her. With Skarupa, it always looks like it could go in. Thanks for the lesson.

There are 100 Harvard fans out there?!?! We Usually have to search long and hard to find just the one!
Though on the game great job by Harvard to not pack it in, especially by Laing, after that goal off of her defender she could've just given up completely but she kept them alive and almost killed me

Your perspective is different from most. You alone would make more noise than 100 Harvard fans combined.
(I still remember the "Chech Fans" loving it at worlds.)

Maybe if your men's team stopped winning the national title so darn often, it would spur attendance for the women's team?

I know that hasn't stopped other schools from getting support... but I don't know, it just has never taken off at BC despite the arena being right in the middle of campus. If some people started going and making it a 'thing' I suppose there's a chance you could see a dozen or two students at some games, if you were lucky. I think they'll have a nice little showing next week in the Beanpot finals, anyway.
If BC makes it to the finals at QU though, I have a feeling BC might put together a bus or two for students who might want to head down to support the team. Depends on demand.
There are just too many teams at BC. Women's hockey is somewhere after football, men's hockey, men's basketball (as bad as they are), women's basketball, men's soccer, and women's soccer in terms of popularity. At some point these kids have to go to class!

Traveling around the WCHA I don't see a lot of students anywhere. They're just not what a women's hockey fan base is built on. What I'm surprised there isn't more of in the Boston area is youth teams. The Minnesota athletic department has done a lot of outreach around the Cities and Ridder is typically crawling with 10-year old girls in their team jerseys (often to the detriment of the viewing experience for those of us who sit along the aisles and have kids running to and from their seats constantly during play).
That's something I don't see much of elsewhere though I'm guessing that has a lot to do with nowhere else in the WCHA having the concentration of youth hockey associations that exists here. It is something I'd think that there is a critical mass of in the Boston area, though. I have a friend that coaches the JV team at a prep school in the area and he says that his players are barely cognizant of the college game. They're older than the kids you get at Ridder because of NCAA restrictions on marketing to athletes over the age of 14 but no one has done it at any level.
How much of this would be more difficult because girls' hockey isn't a big thing in the public schools I don't know, particularly since I don't know how that affects community hockey organizations for younger kids. Still, I'm surprised that there doesn't seem to be much of any of that.

I've on some occasion seen lots of students at a game. Typically in smaller locales like Clarkson, Colgate, Cornell etc.
While it is the exception, been at some games in the east with a large presence of youth teams. For example, there were quite a few at the recent White Out game in New Haven. Sometimes the JWHL runs a tourney in town, that brings out those that play youth hockey. Part of the problem is that it is hard to get to some of the rinks in Boston, and parking is hard to find as well at several of these place. That is a serious detriment.

Not sure it's so much "smaller" as "in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do"

So ARM, any chance you can do a guide to recognising Gopher players for those us who don't get to see them so often?

BU had a sizable contingent of very vocal students and recent grads on hand, though the painted chest, pots and pans banging crew were not in attendance.
I'm on the Mass Hockey e-mail list and they always forward outreach efforts from schools and nothing went out for the Beanpot. Tom Boyles and I were talking about the lack of youth and high school players in attendence...usually there are two or three high school teams that show up. Maybe they will show up for the final.

BC's parking situation is easily the best of all the Boston schools, what are you talking about
