How about starting games at 7:30 from Mon-Fri?

[The Viking]

Who decides on start times, is it the Hockey East or is it up to each team?

7:30 would make it a bit easier to get to the seats on time and it's only a 2 hour or 2:15 event really. You'd get out at 9:30-9:45.

Are there really people who wouldn't go to a game because they think a 7:30 start time is too late? It's not like a Sox Yankees game that would end near midnight if you moved the time.

The Boston teams do that for traffic concerns for non tv games. It's a good idea, especially if the games aren't on tv.

Yeah, it's a great thing that they do that. Incredibly hard to get to a game at BU, BC, or Northeastern for 7 pm if you're coming from out of the city. Even Lowell has moved now to 7:15 Friday games. No reason UConn can't do it, it's really better for everyone. Not much difference between a game ending at 9:15-9:30 and 9:45-10:00 on a Friday.
