    But you're right -- I don't like one-sided seating either like Potsdam and Fredonia.
    Albany County Hockey facility, where Siena's club team plays, has a one-sided seating setup, and probably only seats around 300. Granted, that is a community rink (managed by a Siena Grad), but it still serves as an example of... "it could always be worse".

    We do have an olympic-sized ice sheet, which is a plus... and it is the rink where numerous teams practiced for the 1980 Olympics in the weeks immediately prior to the games, including Team USA. So even our rink can be looked at through the lens of "it could always be worse"

      It was worse before they painted the walls in Maxcy Hall. Talk about drab...

        I know. I used to go up to Potsdam games when I was little. I am from Watertown so I know the rink pretty well. I just think a mural of a big, snarling bear would be kind of cool.

          A mural of some sort could work very nicely.

            Saints, I think I'll be up a couple of times this year. (I have a niece who just started this year that goes there who loves hockey.) I'll join you for a pint sometime.

            I would gladly join you for a pint, it would have to be after the game. I am usually busy before and most definitely during the game.

              The BEARS drop the puck on the 2010-11 season with Midnight Madness. Maroon vs White at Midnight (technically 12:01am). As part of tryouts, the team will play an intrasquad game during the earliest morning hours of October 15.

                    Wow! What a way to kick off the 2010-11 season! The Bears took the ice at 12:01am, in front of roughly 400 fans. From the opening faceoff the intensity was incredible. I couldn't believe how the boys came out and competed that hard. I saw some good things from some of freshman. The first game is next Weds., against SUNY Canton. If last years game is any indication it should be a packed house.

                            Canton gave Potsdam a good game last year. Their tender was the biggest difference in the contest. I said it before and I shall say it again, its a "trap" game for the Bears. Win by alot and people will say,"well you should", and if its close....blah blah. I thought I heard SUNY Canton was progressing towards D 3 by 2012. I enjoyed my year with the Northmen in the early 90's. But its a different program now since JUCO is gone.

                              Canton strategic plan here:

                              Excerpt: (from page 12 of 16):

                              SUNY Canton will implement a plan to have all athletic programs compete at the NCAA
                              Division III level by 2016.
                              This will require coordination and collaboration between athletics
                              and admissions to recruit more athletes to field an increased number of sports teams.
                              The College will also implement a series of programs aimed at increasing game attendance
                              and creating a culture where athletics serve as a focal point for campus spirit and pride.
