It was like 5 bucks for hamfest. No idea what it is for hockey. I think we parked on street last time and took the shuttle one other. Plan to use the garage this time. Pretty sure it won't be prohibitive.

We'll be there too, hopefully in time to get a shirt. :)

Pretty sure it's still $5 for the parking garage across Monroe Street from the arena/concert hall. I'm not sure about alternatives.

No idea about beer costs.

Yeah, that kind of hurt to watch. I don't mean to sound critical, but I felt like Sinclair was struggling. Shots on goal were a lot closer than they had been in recent years, so that's hopeful. Penalties weren't hugely unbalanced either.
Oh well, there's always tonight.

Sinclair was good in the first period, but he did struggle more as the game progressed. The defense as a whole needs to shore up, too.

Re: UAH Hockey 2017-18

So, had this idea in my head, wonder if anyone else has thought about it and if it would fly. How about a WCHA/AHA Challenge Invitational between the old CHA teams? BSU, UAH, Bobby Mo and Niagara in a set schedule (ie, not bracketed). BSU vs Bobby Mo and UAH vs Niagara on day one and then BSU vs Niagara and UAH vs Bobby Mo on day two, as an example (the host school would always play the evening game both nights to help with the gate). That way, intraconference matchups are avoided. Set up a four year rotation for hosting between the schools. Could even break out one of the old tropheys to hand out to the winner. Tie breakers would have to be set up since it isn't a bracket tournament. But hey, it could be fun!

Any UAH fans headed to Marquette this weekend, where temperatures may be warmer (low 40s) than they will when NMU gets to Huntsville on Super Bowl weekend.

Not me. I'm done with the payload that's caused me to miss the first six home games, but I get to be at work at midnight on Monday morning.

It sounds interesting, but I don't know how it could be presented. It's hard to really call it a "WCHA-AHA Challenge" when it's only (and the same) two of 10 WCHA and two of 11 AHA teams every year. I don't think the tie-in to the CHA (which has now been gone for eight years) is compelling to many beyond us long-time folks to warrant it being the same teams every year.

Based on current conference setup, I wouldn't mind seeing WCHA vs. ECAC, with five series at WCHA rinks and five at ECAC rinks, most "points" wins.

Personally, I'd love for UAH to host a holiday tournament of some sort, but it's beyond me about how that would work.

Would very much like to get up to a game in MQT sometime. My wife was born in Marquette and I worked at Marquette General in '99. My wife's father coached basketball at NMU in the early 60's. If you know them, say hello to Bob and Anne Pecotte from Joey and Julie in Tennessee. Hoping the UAH can put together a couple of good games up there. It will be a while before we some hockey down here. The next home series is not until late January.

NMU will be having a social prior to the Saturday game at the bar in the lobby of the Von Braun. Feel free to wander by and chat.
 
Re: UAH Hockey 2017-18

I'm not watching the feed, but am I seeing THREE shorthanded goals for NMU?
If that's the case I'm glad it's not 5 on 3, or they'd be up by 20.
[edit: CHN's live box showed the 3rd for a while, it's back down to two, but still ...]

I'll try to stop by for that, presuming work doesn't steal me from yet another game.

2 shorties and a PPG for NMU.
