Re: King's College starting hockey in 2017-18

Official release

They're going to be playing at an off-campus rink in Pittston 8 miles from campus. Also not officially announcing a conference.

The Revolution Ice Center appears to be very crowded. Home to an NAHL team, an adult league, an old-timer's league, a middle school, a high school, youth teams, and three non-NCAA college hockey teams (ACHA it looks like): University of Scranton, East Stroudsburg and Bloomsburg.

I'm wondering how well-attended games that far from their campus will be as it's not something I experienced at Plattsburgh. Are there D3 teams that play home games that far from campus?

Also, is this not an awful looking mascot costume?

Elmira plays their home games 15-20 minutes away in Pine Valley, NY.

Skidmore plays their home games off campus by about 5-10 minutes.

Fair enough. Can't argue it doesn't work for Elmira given the history of that program.

A quick scan of the Club Hockey pages didn't show any of those schools with club teams registered with the ACHA that I saw.

Alvernia has for awhile now. They play ACHA DIII but the hockey team is part of the athletic department. I'm not sure why they sink money and effort into it- if it's part of the athletic department, counted in title IX, etc... but don't play NCAA hockey. http://athletics.alvernia.edu/index.aspx

Mohegan Sun Arena, home to the AHL's Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, is 2 miles from the campus maybe depending on scheduling at the Arena and Rev Ice Center, they could play some games there. Also being even closer to campus could get the students out even more.

Re: King's College starting hockey in 2017-18

I thought U of Scranton played at the Ice Plex(i think that is the name) up by the high school and the Glider Diner on Providence St.

Neumann! are Knights .. more appropriately the Friars (see the outfit two in from the left). Downside, one more school to effect the further dilution of Eastern hockey. Soon, there will be no appreciable contrast between ACHA and NCAA D3.

There are a bunch in New England. Becker plays almost 20 miles away at the New England Sports Center (and that's from their Worcester campus. Their Leicester campus is another 7 or 8 miles on top of that). Stonehill plays about 10 miles away at the Foxboro Sports Center. Nichols plays almost 20 miles away at Levy Rink in Rhode Island. There are others. Out in PA, Lebanon Valley plays 10 miles away at the old Hersheypark Arena. As far as I know none of them get great crowds.
