Re: Dear MA; Who's Rink Should I Visit For My 1st Non-Alaska College Hockey Game?
To me its about the highs and the lows... talking "east" in the New England sense... Merrimack, PC, NU, Maine, Lowell (bias), and Yale. I haven't been to Yale... I haven't been to Bright or Gutterson. So, fair objections. Lowell's the only modern building I'll dare put on there... but again, highs and lows. And, Merrimack, well, still get a whiff of the 70s/80s in there.
I might be the only one here that thinks Matthews is the most overrated rink. First row of that balcony is the only good seat in the building. Besides that it is a terrible place to see a game because no one has ever been there when I been (all PC games).
I think Brown is pretty good old time rink near you and Harvard. BC is a basketball arena with ice. BU should be experienced at least once. Lowell is probably the best rink in New England with diehard fans if you are willing to drive to Boston, Lowell isn't much farther.
