That's what Mahoney's article said, attendance was down about 800 from where it was two seasons ago. It's had from the figures they release to figure out when and how much it has dropped the last 10 years or so.

Excellent! AIC, Quinnipiac and 4 games a piece vs. UVM and UMass.........AWESOME schedule! Coach Whitehead knows what he is doing........this program is ready to take off.

I don't have systematic evidence, but I do have anecdotal evidence. My father used to be happy to make the 90 minute drive to Alfond. Now he goes to maybe one game per year. And he's on Team Whitehead - not Team Fire Whitehead. I guess even among Whitehead supporters, games aren't as attractive as they used to be...

Many Mainers love Coach Whitehead because he does not rock the boat........slow and steady wins the race. You'll see.

Re: Maine 2012-2013 Fade to Black
Based on USCHO numbers, Maine attendance (minus neutral site "home" games like Portland or Fenway Park)
(Data corrupted for 2001-02, shows average attendance of 5)
250 fewer people than last season, 800 fewer than two seasons ago, which was the same as 2003-04. I would be interested in seeing (and the university will never say) how those attendance fluctuations correlate to season ticket holders renewing/not renewing vs fewer/more walk-ups sold.
ETA: It is a public university...I wonder if that information would be covered by a FOIA request...

Maine also plays 5 teams in the upcoming season who are currently in the top 9 in the pairwise rankings.

The 02-03 season must be people actually at the game. I was at most home games that year and remember it close to 100% full most of the time. I think it was hard to get tickets then to.

Even better then! I'm looking forward to one of the toughest schedules ever for the UMaine hockey program!

Re: Maine 2012-2013 Fade to Black
No one draws up tougher schedules than Coach Whitehead. I hope that we see more programs like AIC and Quinnipiac popping up on future schedules. Atlantic Hockey programs are much tougher than you think. Wouldn't be surprised to see them "steal" a game at Alfond..........tough place to win but it can be done.

Hopefully, Maine won't feel the "sting" of AIC next season. Can't wait to order my season tix for next year. Anyone know when they go on sale?

I received my season ticket application the first week of July last year in the mail. You can also go to goblackbearstickets.com. I bought mine online last year.

The internet nut cases will never get their "wish". They would be better off supporting the team and channeling their negative energy toward helping the poor or volunteering at a soup kitchen. Thankfully, Abbott will not cede to the wishes of a bunch of anonymous yahoos and hopefully sign Coach Whitehead to an extension sooner rather than later.
