Went to my first UConn hockey game tonight using the discount tickets they sold to basketball game ticket holders from todays game. What a blast!! This team plays really hard and is fun to watch. It was funny because my son was mentioning that UMass would probably be pulling their goalie soon and the next thing that happened is we scored that second goal! Hockey at the XL Center is a real gem that should only grow in value as the team continues to improve. While I don't discount the excitement of a new on campus arena, I think by the time that arena is built they will have a tremendous asset going in Hartford that they won't want to give up. Maybe they can split time like in basketball. Anyway, I was amazed at how many people were there tonight, and I'm sure if the team starts to contend in the league the fan support would be even greater. I highly recommend this for any fans sitting on the sidelines but looking for a good quality entertainment opportunity. Go Huskies!
