Well then the Will Call folks must be hosed too…

If you were to go into the HOCKEY-L archives you could find a long running argument about the wisdom of holding the ECAC tournament in Lake Placid which at the time had Olympic ice. (I think it still probably does.) I maintained that they should move the tournament to Albany which has NHL ice. The larger ice favors one type of team, the smaller ice favors another. And then in the "NC$$" regionals and Frozen Four, they go back to smaller ice. Albany is also more convenient to get to. They eventually moved it to Abany for a few years. But they moved it back to Placid for the ambiance. Placid is a vacation destination and more people wanted to go there in the ECAC-sphere.

So when they make the Herb Brooks rink at lake placid nhl size is it not NHL regulation

For those wondering how Sacred Heart built a bigger arena for less money, they didn’t. Not only were they misleading about capacity (actual is 2600 in lower bowl plus several hundred upstairs - the rest is SRO) but the costs were clearly higher than originally stated. The page below from the architects promoting an award says the actual construction costs were $84M.
