I kinda like Cornell. A legendary team that UConn never plays OOC. That game would really draw.

Ok I'm poking in on Cornell at Brown right now and apparently they have a huge Boston alumni chapter, so I'm coming around to them a little more

I do think we should try it soon, especially with the advantage on the rest of HE with having a big football stadium. Only BC has that and they can’t even fill it for football

Hahaha, I love the irony. They can't fill the stadium for football, but could probably fill it for hockey.

How quickly we forget Frozen Fenway as an attempt to host college outdoor games. Literally the worst venue and sight lines for hockey I’ve ever experienced, so, yeah a football stadium would be better, but if we remember the Whale Bowl in 2011, we had a cold and snowy winter season much like the one we are having now, and Howard Baldwin took a financial bath on the event due to extra snow removal costs even with 21000 tix distributed.

If a Rentschler P&W event were to ever be considered again, it would also have to include the WolfPack again. One difference today is though that UConn is in HE and is playing well, so there’s more to offer…
 
UConn’s brand is more powerful than Whalers nostalgia at this point. I think a UConn-branded event featuring the Whalers/Pack would be far more popular than the Whalers/Pack-run event featuring UConn.

I was also at Frozen Fenway and sat way too close. Fenway is mostly something for the history/atmosphere, as we also saw with football. Rentschler’s sightlines, as a pretty soccer-friendly layout, work much better in hockey

Some of us attended the UConn-Sacred Heart outdoor game from that event 😉

Eagles home game will be crucial IF we come out of the next four road games (NE, Maine x 2, BC) successfully. IMO, we need at least nine of the twelve points. A tough ask.
 
BC beat Harvard to advance to the Beanpot final. Root for BC to win it all, as we can improve our NPI playing them twice more.

Win, or go home.

Add UConn to that 4 team mix. Could any of the teams reasonably expect to net 9 of the 12 points on the road? Probably not…

That would be huge in the NPI if it happened considering the away win weighting factor. Most teams feel pretty good if they split on an away trip. Of course UConn seems to play better away.
