Re: Places I've Seen a College Hockey Game

I think I'd have to look up some records to figure out teams I've seen play, and I have no idea how accurate I'd be just trying to remember.

Everywhere I've seen a college hockey game:

Home rinks

Minnesota State - Verizon
Bemidji State - John Glas Fieldhouse
NHC
Western Michigan - Lawson
Nebraska Omaha - Qwest Center

St Cloud State - Herb Brooks National hockey center
North Dakota - Ralph
I have also been to Denver's rink, but saw college hockey fans playing, not an actual college game

51 "rinks" in my 15 years of hockey fandom. I may have an addiction.
 
Re: Places I've Seen a College Hockey Game

You FLEW out of Bemidji to get home, IIRC. That right there is dedication. I wouldn't trust that airport....

I don't know, a bunch of fans from different teams going to a UAH at Bemidji game seems like dedication by itself.

I did fly out of Bemidji, but based on the weather, didn't you have a fairly awful drive back to the cities? The Bemidji airport wasn't bad.

Also, just this week Facebook brought up pictures from 8 years ago...tInvasion. Good times.

Yeah, the drive back was bad, although not as bad as on the way up.
