The line about being nowhere ready for an on campus rink stood out to me from the Jacob's 'Sports Venue Projects' article in the Hartford Courant today.

Sorry if linky does not worky. Here's the line.
"At any rate, Freimuth has to convince the public, the state legislature, everybody on the merits of rebuilding the XL Center. Cost: Maybe $250 million. Despite initial Hockey East expectations, The Courant's Jenny Wilson reports UConn is nowhere ready to build a new campus rink. That puts the team in Hartford for years. UConn has reached an agreement for a new three-year lease downtown for its sports. All this should point to the state investing long term in itself with a rebuilt XL Center."
This got me thinking that if there is indeed some foot dragging that it's possibly because those in theknow that Hockey East isn't the final destination.
At the very least its good article.
That soccer stadium fiasco that Hartford finds itself in right now is a goshdarnnit mess.
