I think that is a number close to how many people were there, as apposed to the "tickets sold, but only 800 showed up" number that are usually there. All but one of the boxes were in use last night, which most nights only 3-4 are used. The student section was pretty full and vocal at times, another improvement.
I also noticed 2 young men down in the bench area with the coaches during the pregame warm ups. Prospects?

I can't believe it myself I thought beer would have filled the seats. What is wrong with this hockey town. Time to offer more. At least a1000 more fans then NMU. I hope the Ironwood Yoopers don't outdraw the college teams.

Wasn't a good weekend . When you look at the team stats of the Lakers compared to all the other teams,fits into why they have lost 23 games so far.
 
Re: LSSU Lakers 2014-15

At least the fans have had some enjoyable moments this season. Winning the Christmas tournament scoring only one goal. None of us will ever see a team win two games in a turnament with one goal ever again. Scoring on Bemidji with less than a second to go and than sweeping the next night was a lot of fun. Even beating Bowling Green ranked 7th at the time on their home ice was also another fun game for Laker fans. Now with beer being sold at games, every game can be fun.

Are you referring to the @LakeStateHockey Twitter account? I'm blocked from following that account because I chose to offer an opposing opinion (via Tweets) to some of the propaganda posted there. @LakeStateHockey doesn't seem too interested in free speech unless it's in agreement with his/her views. What are they saying now?

Saying Whitten is a horrible coach. One person said that sitting Globke is bad coaching by Damon and another said that Damon is using excuses.

About what you'd expect from the Roquettes.

From what I heard, we had 3 potential recruits in for visits over the weekend. All young guys, 2-3 years away from playing for the Lakers even if any of them do commit to us.

It will definitely take some time before we know what kind of coach Whitton is. It took Pearson 4 years at Michigan Tech. I think it has also taken Bergeron 4 years at Bowling Green. I don't know that we could really expect LSSU to turn it around any quicker than that.

That person was very surprised that LSSU would get Twitter after them. They asked me for advice. I said, "Change your name to something with 'fan' in it." So they because "LakerHockeyFanNation" but stayed @LakeStateHockey. Well then.

GFM <— bets that's someone who at least reads here and, well, ... yeah.

I agree that it's going to take time. We'll start to see what kind of forwards Damon can recruit next season. And two seasons from now, we'll have quite a few of our forwards who will have been recruited by Damon and crew, although they'll still only be freshmen and sophomores.

I thought Patterson skated very well Saturday night in his first game played in quite a while. If he can put on a little weight and get a little stronger, I like his potential.

It will take time and I do believe that Whitten and crew will get the job done. I admit that from time to time I have to remind myself of that.

I am new to twitter and I didn't figure out that it wasn't an official LSSU account for a day or two so I could see why LSSU took some sort of action.

Yeah, it had me fooled, too. I realized that it wasn't anything close to official the night that Roque got fired.

Michael and I used to run @uahhockey. After we got into a Twitter "war" with folks in Bemidji — all of us were laughing about it — the University asked us for the keys to the account. Shoot, our players didn't realize that it wasn't the University's account. It's painless to change usernames, and they gave me a temporary login for theirs to do it. That LSSU doesn't realize that they can push for the username change worries me a bit.
