Tigers pick up another recruit, this time not from the BCHL but the Streetsville Derbies of the OJHL.
Stuart Brownell - D - 6'4" 185lbs - DOB 5/9/1992
2010/2011 Streetsville games: 25 goals:4 assists:11 Pts:15 PIM:42
2009/2010 Streetsville games: 48 goals:2 assists:14 Pts:16 PIM:66
In 2009/2010 he was a +13. This year, that's a stat the OJHL isn't tracking.
Given his age, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up playing another year or 2 of Juniors before coming to Rochester.
Who's going to Niagara? And Niagara sucks at attracting people to the arena. Do you think I could just drive there and buy the ticket as a walk up and be safe?
Why the heck did Tanev have to leave =(...
I would rather see 4000-4500 with room for expansion. Think about how dead the arena will seem if it hold 6000 and we only put 2100 in it.
Depends on how it's designed.
We've been selling out day-before this year anyway. There are a lot of people who used to get tickets at the door.
I'd think we could be drawing 3000 regularly now. The question is, how fast do we grow?
The school seems to be more committed to it now than ever. Maybe we'll even begin to see more than a whiteboard on the quarter mile advertising the game.
You make a good point. Destler said in the press conference that they would make sure that the arena could be expanded in the future to accommodate growing crowds. Also, I think you're right-on about the need for more advertising. After the new rink is built, it would be wise for RIT to buy some TV and radio spots to advertise games (heck, they could even start now if they haven't already).
I'm glad that Destler seems to be embracing hockey since I know he's a big basketball fan. In my opinion, he's been moving RIT in the right direction ever since Simone retired. Kudos to Destler and to his wife who I know does a lot around campus and gets little recognition.

I will be at Niagara, and then back here in Roch Saturday afternoon for the Women vs. Pottsdam. I wouldn't worry about getting a ticket at the door, I've never seen Niagara sell out a game. Of course my luck they will lol Maybe someone more in the know here can tell us if we can buy tickets in advance online?
There's also an alumni event for the game. $15 for food and a ticket.

You're not that old since I can remember that and I am still young!![]()
Nah. I am old.
I remember the early/earlier days of the Corner Crew sitting on the South side of the rink screaming our heads off and then playing euchre between periods...

Honestly, Destler's goal is to eventually move us to full D1. Obviously it isn't possible yet, but I could see it happening in 5-10 years. I would expect a football team for a while however.
