"Premium" hockey

[dsturdy5]

I received an e-mail from Merrimack College this evening (I live up the street from their campus) and they have released their hockey mini-plan packages. I thoroughly enjoyed this bit:

Premium Plan ($99)
Saturday, October 18th vs. UCONN
Friday, November 14th vs. Notre Dame
Saturday, November 15th vs. Notre Dame
Friday, December 5th vs. Boston University
Friday, February 6th vs. Boston College

Yes, we are "premium"!

Hoping to be there as well. Do you live up this way?

We're in North Andover. Been looking forward to the hockey team coming up here more often. Now we get Lowell, Merrimack, and after work a short jump over to BC, BU and NEastern

I grew up and teach in North Andover. There is actually another family there too who was at UConn in the late 90s with my wife and I. A number of my former students are going to UConn now.

We moved up here in 2000. Originally from East Hartford. What school do you teach at?

Anyone going to Mack, be sure to get tickets beforehand or arrive early. That place is so tiny, it fills up in minutes. Capacity is just bigger than Freitas, something like 2,380. It's basically a glorified high school rink. It's a joke that they charge $20 for games up there. At least they installed seats and got rid of the old wooden pull out bleachers they used to have. Very good view of the game though, you're right on top of the rink.
