Mercyhurst Lakers 2012/2013

Re: Mercyhurst Lakers 2012/2013

Lakers may have a chance to assert themselves in the rankings if things go according to their plan this weekend.
 
Re: Mercyhurst Lakers 2012/2013

Well they split last year but Mercyhurst should of swept

Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda but Didn't. Given recent exploits of MSU, this weekend's series has a lot more eyes on it, and could be significant for either team in the rankings.

Agreed. As far as Mercyhurst, they are such a young team and I am sure the fans are tickeled about the ranking but, as I have said before, Coach Sisti's expectations are high and this is probably where he hoped they would be.
Minnesota State seems to be a carbon copy of Mercyhurst. Two very similar teams battleing this weekend with significance in the ranking. Wish I was in town for the games.
 
Does mercyhurst have a live video feed for their games and /or a live radio feed that can be followed on the Internet?
 
Re: Mercyhurst Lakers 2012/2013

Yes, all Mercyhurst home games are available via Americaone.com There is usually a direct link right from the team's schedule page, though already a few times in this young season, I have noticed that the video link has been added to the team's schedule page rather late in the day on game day.

John Leisering has been doing the play by play for Mercyhurst for a long time, and while he is definitely a home town fan, I hope you will agree that he provides a pretty decent job.

Hi there folks -- wonder if any of you could help answer my question from the Minnesota thread:

http://board.uscho.com/showthread.p...ey-2012-2013&p=5598598&viewfull=1#post5598598

You should be able to find your answer within the confines of BC. Two years ago the FF was in Erie, and BC with Stack and Schaus were in Erie. Check with the BC folk familiar with the travel itinerary that year. Failing that, ask your buddies at BU. They were in the final in Erie and will gladly fill you in on the details. :D

P.S Fairly sure Wisco flew to Erie that year. (Even though I did see the Badger bus at the rink).

"The Eagles shared their flight out to Erie with Boston University, which could make for an interesting trip back should the two archrivals — located a mere streetcar ride apart on Commonwealth Avenue — meet for the NCAA Championship on Sunday."

Re: Mercyhurst Lakers 2012/2013

over the past 4 years ALL games to Boston...Maine...Conn...Providence...etc have been flights for Mercyhurst usually to and from Pittsburgh.. 2 hour bus to/from Erie

I think TTT asked the question with the NCAA tournament in mind, for which air travel is governed by specific distance rules, and the cost paid for by the NCAA. The NCAA committee will often adjust the rankings/pairings in order to minimize air travel. This is documented in the championships guidelines. That is why you will often see a WCHA intra conference match-up in the quarters.

What teams do on their own dime during the season is their choice. Team one of my D's plays on is on the east coast, and they bussed it to Erie when they played MC there a few years ago.

Re: Mercyhurst Lakers 2012/2013

Mercyhurst University is currently (Thursday, Jan 24) closed due to a water main break in Erie. http://www.mercyhurst.edu/news/news-releases/article/?article_id=2823

Key points:

Mercyhurst University officials announced the closing of its Erie campus today, effective at 12:30 p.m., after a water main break that had created pressure issues on Wednesday worsened, leaving some areas of campus without water.

Meanwhile, weekend events planned on the Erie campus, including athletic contests, Friday’s screening of “Argo,” and Saturday’s Erie Festival of Dance and Teaching & Learning Expo, have been canceled. Mercyhurst athletics officials were investigating alternative sites for this weekend’s hockey games. More details to follow.

Erie Insurance Arena (aka Civic Center/Tulio) is a no-go for Friday since they are hosting a basketball game end the Otters play Saturday night. If I hear about a location, I will update the post.
 
Re: Mercyhurst Lakers 2012/2013

No heat, hot water, limited facilities, and worst of all, no hockey. Lindenwood might be looking like a great place to spend the weekend (as long as there's ice!)
