You need to play the first game early. No later than 5. The Beanpot plays at 5. To a large extent I think tv dictates times. They want time to switch crowds too. So an hour between games. And if you want the 2nd game to play at 7 or 7:30 you need a 4 pm start. Back in the day, the Beanpot played at 6. They cleaned the ice and game 2 started. That isn’t the case any more.

These are the same days and times as the hockey east final 4 at TD garden.
It’s not perfect but it’s the best they can do. If you’re gonna play sacred heart you’re gonna get the 4 pm time.
Just don’t blow it and miss out on a chance to take on quinnipiac at 7 on Saturday because that would be an electric place if all goes according to plan.
I’m sure I’ll be taking a half day Friday and hit downtown establishments a little early for some pregaming. Should be a great hockey weekend for Hartford

Friday at 4 sucks. The games have always been played on Saturday and Sunday. People have jobs. Mine doesn’t end until 5. I already bought tickets. What do I do with them? They were part of the season ticket package, paid for long ago.
Sounds like a PTO day and a nice long weekend for you. Have fun!!!!!

We usually have a meeting that week that doesn’t end until late enough Friday to make that start time problematic. Fingers crossed though.

Surprised there hasn't been an outdoor game at the Yard Goats stadium yet between two CT teams.

Sounds fun, but crazy expensive to do and I just don’t think we have the fan base for it.

The fact they were charging around $50 a ticket down in Bridgeport is absurd.
Wasn’t that for a 2 day ticket? This is just for one day. Still cheaper.

On his coach’s show tonight, Cav said he had the choice between 4pm and 7:30pm and chose 4pm

Chose the 4pm game because he knows when it starts and it gives them a little bit more rest before the following day’s game

I suspect many will wait for the preferred UConn-QU final. If we lose to SHU, lots of no-shows Saturday.

Why? It’s still a UConn hockey game, even if we play Yale. It’s just like splitting a home series in that case.

Lose to SHU (Pairwise 46) to play Yale (Pairwise 50)?
