hockey east decision coming(june)

Also would it be possible to hang a jumbo tron from gample. Iit would be a lot of work but I think it should be able to be done. We gotta have room for penalty boxes benches as well as the ice rink. They would also need a place to store the basketball stuff when hockey being used. I think it can be done but I agree building a separate place may not be that much more

Turning GP into a hockey rink is not possible without rebuilding the entire structure. The facility is not long enough to accommodate the length of a hockey rink, as well as stands behind either net. It's not going to happen. New facility is the correct, and only way to go.

Today's the day? Will it happen? ( I'll buy season tickets to the new women's collegiate lingerie football team that will be added to accomodate Title IX.)

^^Very connected and respected HE writer, he's the beat reporter for Merrimack and very much tied into what's going on everywhere in the league, so I have no reason to believe he's anything but 100% correct. Word is, in for '14-15. Nothing further at this time available.

If we say no, fire everyone. Considering our AD is from, perhaps, the biggest hockey school in the country, I seriously doubt the word no will cross his mind.

I guess you have to ask, does hockey help football? Does football help hockey? My answer would be if it's a competitive program and marketed effectively yes to both. But I still feel hockey needs as strong campus presence and a decent rink there too. We have the talent in this area/region to be successful. We also have interest in the sport.

building a strong hockey program would be enticing to the B1G, but wouldn't come close to overwhelming any lack of success in football. it does make the program overall look more serious about being a power in everything and ensuring they play against the best competition in every sport possible. in the end, it won't be a ticket into any conference, but a strong hockey program can only serve to help, not hurt.
