A new barn would have to be built for an NHL team not a renovation of the XL. The luxury seats need to move between the lower and upper bowls. Parking revenue would have to be surrendered to the NHL team. All sorts of things would have to happen that probably are not going to.

Not to mention that as long as Gary Bettman is the NHL Commissioner, Hartford is not getting an NHL team.

The renovation plan that the CRDA has put forward I just can't seee happening right now in this financial/political climate. So that leaves the XL as is...with a new ice making system being installed to actually make it a playable ice surface for both HE and the AHL. That's basically putting lipstick on a pig...it in no way makes it a super model! On another note nice to see you here. Now we just need to get the others over to USCHO.

And after the fiasco with the baseball stadium, I can't see the public in Hartford or the State getting behind putting more tax payer money in yet another sports project. Especially in the face of high taxes, poor road, economic weakness (outside of Fairfield county) and that new court ruling on education funding hanging over everyone's head.

Thanks, but why? This is a better place for UConn fans. We don't have to put up with some of the HE BS and we are free to offend the woof gods over here without all the HE pushback. Being humble takes its toll after awhile.

Yeah true...there is no Nick Pappageorgio telling us every waking minute how good his precious BC is or Chuck Murray calling Cav "Luce Canaan" and talking down about the program because UNH is on the way to becoming a non-entity. @brasssbonanzaa is here too. You can thank @temery for setting this up..it used to be under Olympic sports and one day I sent him a pm asking if men's and women's hockey could have their own board.

it came from a reliable inside source - no on-campus arena :(
 
a person closely related to a recruit. I have no reason to believe that the coaching staff wasn't honest with them regarding that type of information
