ASU Hockey

Holy god what is ASU thinking? Tickets go up to $72 for a stupid little holiday tourney, in what will be any empty barn... Good luck growing the hockey fan base.
 
Re: ASU Hockey

Why does the team's own hometown newspaper have almost zero coverage of this team?
They've been doing it to the Coyotes for years. Print media isn't going to bother covering something that no one bothers to attend in person. You're lucky if you get some bloggers in their basements to write something. The now "Arizona" Coyotes are once again dead last in NHL attendance. Just over 180,000 fans total through the gates so far this year, less than half of what the top teams have drawn (in excess of 400,000).

The shear number of ASU students might get them a reasonable crowd at games if there was even bare minimum interest in hockey . Heck if only 5% of the student attend they'll have crowds of 3500+. Unfortunately right now they are drawing less than 1% of the student body, barely averaging 700 per game.

Here's the forecast for Bemidji this weekend for your series there:

Enjoy.

At least Bemidji has a nice rink and it's about the right size for a college team.

Wind chills will be pushing 30 below, if not lower.

Think of it as the opposite of the heat index.
 
Re: ASU Hockey

Based on my experiences way back when in Potsdam winters, I told my kid to get the antifreeze checked to make sure it was good to -20. Turns out I was over optimistic. Lows are -22, -21, & -19. Hope the engine doesn't get frozen.

He was talking about an aftermarket block heater for the Highlander. Hope he got it.

And then come back to 65 degrees and sunny everyday. It reminds the players why they picked ASU over the Northern schools.
 
Re: ASU Hockey

Glad you visited Bemidji. Your goalie played well and didn't give up any juicy bounces tonight. I was curious as to why your players didn't skate forward at introductions when they were named. Your team played clean and adjusted well after last nights game. Looking forward to you visiting again next year. Good luck with the rest of your season, you've got some real solid players.

Thank you for your kind comments!! My understanding from different articles and people I have met is that ASU's lineup will look much different next season. It sounds like there will only be a handful of players returning from this year's roster and I just read an article stating that the team parted ways with Connor Schmidt and Charlie Zucarrinni this week http://www.cronkitesports.com/asu-hockey-sun-devils-release-connor-schmidt-and-charlie-zuccarini/

Regarding starting lineup skating forward when their names are announced ~ I have often wondered the same thing watching their home games. I asked a fan next to me at a recent home game, he stated. "it's a signature of Coach Powers and team solidarity". ??
 
So I take it not many fans will be traveling to visit Lowell next weekend?

Hope a few do. If you need any suggestions on things to do or see in the area, ask on our thread and we'll help you out. :)

I wish I was going to be there. Having grown up in New England, I would love to have made the trip from the desert. A buddy of mine and ASU alum that lives in Boston is making the Merrimack game on Sunday. Good luck to your boys this weekend. This is our last weekend of D-1 games this weekend, so I'm sure the guys will lay it all out there. We had a weekend sweep over Ohio (ACHA club) and that will hopefully jump start the offense. We have been shutout in our last four D-1 contests. Look forward to watching online.

Merrimack and Lowell both have great stream quality, too. So you'll be in good shape!
