I hope you all don’t mind, but I have been looking for a group of Wildcat Hockey Fans on the web and it has taken me quite some time to land on this page.
I am a Northern grad from the late 80’s, had season tickets at Lakeview every year I was a student, and I truly miss college hockey weekends and the back to back Friday/Saturday games. I am stuck in Southern Indiana where basketball is king, so getting information on my Cat’s is very difficult. I have learned more about our team in the past few days reading this site than I was able to garner all year.
I have Direct TV, so I was able to see the Gopher game, my 1st of the year, and I think there is hope for the rest of the season. We have strong goaltending, good coaching,(contrary to some opinions here), and a few goal scorers. I agree we need to stay out of the box, but I also think we could be more aggressive on the penalty kill. Walt was an assistant while I was a student, I always liked him, still do, and I think he can get it done.
I have not been able to see a game in the new arena. I always enjoyed the old Donors Room for dollar beers, does the new arena sell beer?
Just getting my priorities in order before I plan a long trip.
Hope it’s okay that I come aboard. The only Cat fans I have down here are Kentucky fans, and man, you think Tech fans suck…
