Yale Bulldogs 2015 Off Season thread- Lyon in wait

Arizona State to host Desert Hockey Classic

http://www.kpho.com/story/29302911/sun-devil-hockey-to-host-desert-hockey-classic

Sun Devil hockey will host the Desert Hockey Classic, an NCAA Division I hockey tournament, the weekend of Jan. 8, 2016, the school announced today. Yale, Michigan Tech, and Connecticut will travel to Arizona to compete in the four-team tournament.

With ASU's conference-independent season next year, all other NCAA games are scheduled to be on the road. The Desert Hockey Classic replaces the two-game home series against Yale, originally scheduled for Jan. 8-9.

Gus Young 13' has become the first player to sign a contract in the history of the AHL's new Western Division San Diego Barracuda. Good luck to Gus on the west coast, certainly a better place to play than Worcester.

Hate to disagree with my esteemed colleague, but Gus was Yale '14; also it's the San Jose Barracuda. San Diego will get the former Norfolk Admirals, and they are in the
Anaheim Ducks system !!!

Any building that’s stood for 50 years will need sprucing up, but Ingalls Rink also needed to reflect the nature of college athletics. When Eero Saarinen and Associates designed Ingalls Rink, college hockey wasn’t such a to-do. “Today, it’s big business,” says Wes Kavanagh, a design principal at KRJD.

I'm really surprised that you guys haven't built something new or that plans aren't on the board for a new building especially in light of the national championship. Couldn't you play at Bridgeport while a new rink is built?

I don't know what the locker room situation is, but as far as I can tell, Ingalls has everything the team needs. The capacity is definitely a bit low, but the building is almost never full anyway, so that's not really a huge concern. I don't know why they would want to build a new rink when the Whale is so iconic.

Really?

I stand corrected Doc!

CollegeHockeyStats lists 11 sellouts in 18 home games (including 2 exhibitions and 3 playoff games against Harvard). I don't really believe that, but they at least sold 3,500 tickets to 11 games.
 
Re: Yale Bulldogs 2015 Off Season thread- Lyon in wait

Capacity (3,500) includes SRO. Rail is almost always full, all the way around. Many prefer it to their seats, as it offers the best sight lines.

I'm clearly just wrong. It doesn't feel like a full rink most nights. The student section doesn't feel full most nights.

Probably because attendance reporting is based upon the number of tickets sold, not the number of tickets processed at the gate (i.e. butts in seats).

This has been my experience at Ingalls. The Rail definitely is the place to see the game. But doesn't that beg the question again; why not a new building if people have to stand along a railing to get the best views?

Why not do what we did with Bright-Landry? We kept the original configuration of Watson Rink including the roof and outside frame and tore up the inside bringing it up to date with rinks at that time (late 70's). We recently completed renovations that make attending a game a more social experience. Dartmouth opted for a new rink to replace Davis. There comes a time when every building could use a makeover.
