Places I've Seen a College Hockey Game

Re: Places I've Seen a College Hockey Game

Sean, great idea. I'll tackle my list over a period of time as I don't want to keep adding to it. I bet you have another to add to the list since you had Tully Forum in it and that would be Skate3 in Tyngsboro where Lowell played games in the MacTavish era.

I went to two summers of hockey camp at Dayton Arena, but I never saw a college hockey game there. I've seen high school games/actually played at just about every Maine rink you've listed, though.

Re: Places I've Seen a College Hockey Game

Well, mine is embarrassingly small.

Joe Louis Arena - GLI 4x, Big Ten Tourney
Munn - Somewhere around 250 games
Spartan Stadium - Cold War
Van Andel - Regionals once upon a time

Might be able to hit up Northeastern this year.
 
Re: Places I've Seen a College Hockey Game

For anyone feeling embarrassed by their short list, here's mine to make you feel better;

Eweigleben Arena
BGSU Ice Arena
Schottenhein Center

I'm hoping to double that this year with trips to Lawson Arena, Taffy Able Arena, and Goggin Ice Arena. Maybe more if bgbill has an extra plane ticket to Alaska just lying around somewhere. ;-)
 
Re: Places I've Seen a College Hockey Game

Another short list.

RPI (Houston) Field House
Boston Arena (RPI-BU ECAC playoff game, 1969)
Madison Square Garden (ECAC Holiday Hockey Festival, December 1969)
Tampa Bay Times Forum (Lightning College Hockey Classic, December 2007)
Verizon Center (2009 FF)

I have yet to see RPI win a game away from the HFH.

Re: Places I've Seen a College Hockey Game

Some great lists here!

I started this list (link below) a few years ago and have kept it updated. I've covered college hockey games as either a writer or broadcaster in 71 different venues. I didn't include venues I visited as a spectator only, which are Walker (former Clarkson) the old Mariucci (former Minnesota), World Arena (Colorado College), Value City (2005 Frozen Four), Sabreland (University of Buffalo when it was varsity), and Smith Rec Center (St. Bonaventure when it was varsity). That would bring the total to 77.

The list is here.

Re: Places I've Seen a College Hockey Game

I started following college hockey in '99/'00. I've been to 48 different venues for a game thus far, but have cut way back over the last few years. I completed the quest to see every D1 team play in 2014...but probably won't attempt going to every D1 arena. Might get back to seeing a few more when my son is a bit older....
