I have video of it from SNY but don't know how to post it. Haha, thing bounced off me pretty good.
 
The huge swing was our 2 on 1 in the third period where the QU defenseman goes to the ice and breaks up the pass. Then a few minutes later they have a clumsy two on two where our two defenders just couldn’t make a play to get control of the puck and they knock in the rebound over Hanson.
Hell of an effort, if QU is really a top 5 team in the country, SHU and UConn both played damn well and should be proud.
Now carry that effort into our home game Friday against Providence and we should get a win

This game took forever to play. No flow. Teams didn't start playing until the 3rd period. Zero backchecking on the game winning goal.

Well, luckily you’re the only one that feels that way. There’s always one.
 
CT Ice. I think it deserves a better name, something a little more creative.

Nutmeg death match?

Seriously, like most everyone, I love this tournament. I think it’s a smart way to promote Connecticut hockey and great for UConn.

Who doesn't like the tournament. They just need a better name.

So you aren’t feeling “nutmeg death match“?

How about “battle for the lobster rolls?”

Shoreline shoot out?

January hockey insanity?

You know what Connecticut Ice is sounding better and better.

I haven't been to Bridgeport in a while. The ballpark is now an amphitheater.

Will they ever rotate it? Please don’t tell me they are only doing it at Bridgeport.

I wondered about this too, but right now I’m just gonna enjoy it

For what it’s worth, good cross promotional opportunity for one of the states local Brewers to put out a beer called Connecticut Ice.
 
I’d even be for it rotating between the four home rinks with UConn using their new arena if there isn’t demand for 5k or more at XL although I think there would be.
 
Take a cue from the Beanpot. Play Day One on a February Monday evening, followed by Day Two the following Monday evening. Do not compete for TV exposure with NFL playoffs, UConn men's and/or women's basketball, and weekend afternoon family time. Scrap Bridgeport, either stage at the XL Center, or rotate among campus facilities until ticket demand justifies Hartford. Great concept, let's focus on execution.

The UConn fans will complain about Bridgeport, but nobody else will. It's a pro rink with enough things around to make it useful. Get in the car (or train) and get down there.

QU's rink is great, but descending on Hamden is going to show pretty quickly why this needs to be somewhere else. Unfortunately, the Coliseum would have been perfect for this, RIP.

I’m not sure the Mondays is the best idea, but I agree with the concept of avoiding playoff weekend.
l also get why it is in Bridgeport. They’ve actually been most supportive. They tried to pull this off earlier, even, but the XL is the home of CT Hockey…I might take a shot at playing it during the Christmas break, to start off the 2nd half. First round Friday at 5 and 8. Championship Saturday at 4 and 7, something like that. This year made for really good hockey for sure. All the games were really competitive except UConn-Yale, and This could develop into something if the various schools want it to.

FWIW, I thought I read that Yale was in line to host in a few years. Great facility.
