Re: For ECAC Fans: Where Should Our Tournament Be Held?
Yes, they do. There's one place in Liverpool that sells it (I think Nichols') and I know people that actually enjoy it.
Do they still make Utica Club beer?
I have had reoccurring nightmare from that stuff and its been 20 years...

Re: For ECAC Fans: Where Should Our Tournament Be Held?
After this past weekend, I'd have to consider Bridgeport as viable... suitable facility, passable downtown, and it has the main feature that its not Atlantic City and is available from both Metro North (NYC alums) and Amtrak (Ralph Baer)

The ice sucked. In this day and age the weather is no excuse. Either the equipment is subpar or the staff is.

It should be Bridgeport. Better ice than Atlantic City, better arena, hour and a bit train ride from NYC. And it's also a hockey community so local people would show up.

Re: For ECAC Fans: Where Should Our Tournament Be Held?
Would you rather go to atlantic city? I'll admit, I don't have an eye for ice... but having the tournament on the moon makes no sense either... it seems like a facility that's available that's reasonably located.

No, AC doesn't work either. Albany still makes the most sense, though Syracuse, GF and even Providence may make sense for different reasons. GF would have to boot the HS hoops torn and providence is a bit difficult as far as travel from some schools.
Re: For ECAC Fans: Where Should Our Tournament Be Held?
How does Albany make the most sense? The tournament was there for several years and the city could have cared less.
Not sure how everyone else feels, but having the ECAC hockey tourney is an honor and we should choose a city that views it as such.
Albany had its chance and it failed to deliver. So we moved to Atlantic City which also failed to deliver. What city is next? Providence? Lake Placid?
Let's have an auction and see which city is ready to step up its game!

Shame they don't still make Maximus Super. Not the greatest taste but darn sure could get you hammered pretty quickly.

Re: For ECAC Fans: Where Should Our Tournament Be Held?
A rumor was floating around yesterday in Bridgeport that AC is out for next year. Wouldn't that be nice. I think Bridgeport will always have a special place in Union fans' hearts, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them make a serious bid to host. The facility seems fairly well suited based on size, facility though not necessarily travel accessibility, still better than AC. Granted, Bridgeport isn't Beverly Hills, but they did seem happy to see college hockey this weekend.

If you know where to go, Utica has some really good food. At least they have something.
But even if the rink holds 4000, it's probably still too small. Though honestly, I always enjoyed watching hockey there.
Has anyone brought up Hartford?

Re: For ECAC Fans: Where Should Our Tournament Be Held?
Funny thing is, that place is Yale's personal house of horror's. They even lost to Sacred Heart in that barn this year. I am no ice expert either, but the comments were made because of a seemingly larger number of rolling/on edge pucks during the games. You would think that an AHL arena would have decent ice. I know one thing, Bridgeport has the prettiest ice shoveling lass in the country, worth the price of admission herself.

Re: For ECAC Fans: Where Should Our Tournament Be Held?
I have, largely ignored by the folks here. Some say it is too large, but I believe it is the same size as Providence. I don't like the building myself. Springfield's size is actually perfect though.

Re: For ECAC Fans: Where Should Our Tournament Be Held?
Supposedly TUC in Albany has the same problem or at least I've heard the same complaints. Nail on the head about the shoveler.Funny thing is, that place is Yale's personal house of horror's.

The Umass Lowell guys should have enough pictures, they were on a first name basis with her and applauded her every move.

I don't have a picture of her, but I can verify that what he says is 100% accurate. Total smoke show.

Re: For ECAC Fans: Where Should Our Tournament Be Held?
Apparently not much support for hockey in Atlantic City. Just off the phone with my cousins daughter. She and her boyfriend just spent the weekend in Atlantic City and she was not even aware that the hockey was there. No signs, notices, bulletins. I would guess the hotels want to discourage ant activity other than feeding coins into the slots. To stay in major hotel with no notice just seems odd
