CBG - the rules at the Fleet don't say anything about Hockey sticks; bags, backpacks, luggage, coolers, parcels, briefcases and like articles will be strictly prohibited from the facility. But no hockey sticks.
Any rules on signs? (other than content I wouldn't imagine so)

From past experience, the Fleet is very anal about things. They do their best to diffuse any attempt to create a college hockey
atmosphere - UNH cowbell, signs, etc. I have all seen confiscated (signs regardless of content).

I've been to post 9/11 events at Fleet (Bruins game, Disney on Ice twice) and they are not letting anything larger than a women's purse in after
checking it. No bags, backpacks, etc. And per usual, horns and
other extraneous materials are not allowed in (although folks have been very creative in the past getting things in).

I would advise anyone going to check the Fleet's website to confirm security protocols and rules. If you don't see something listed, give them a call and specifically ask about signs, horns, or what not. They will not hold things for you and if it is something you don't want to lose, be prepared to walk back to your vehicle to stow it.

I remember a few years ago, the Fleet Shock Troopers descended upon people for the least little thing - saying "suck" (we actually had to go to the security office to confirm what words we were indeed allowed to yell), UNH cowbell, etc. It was pretty bad.

No Cowbell??? You could always stick it in the crotch of your jeans (wear a sweatshirt that will extend down low enough so it is not obvious), though I wouldn't wanna touch the cowbell after that. ;)

I went to Disney On Ice and they searched my mother's pocketbook but my girlfriend got through without being tagged, they only had a few cops and they were all busy searching people so she just walked right through to the escalator (highly suggested if trying to sneak something in other than an explosive device [;)], if you are with a few people let them go first and hope the cops take to them, then when they are busy searching them walk on through).

Hey Josh.... you grow your playoff goatee every season? 'Cos if you do.... well, it's obviously not doing us any good! :p ;)

Actually what they do now at the Fleet is this. You strip naked and walk through an x-ray machine. Your clothes are bagged and kept for you for a $3.00 fee.
Once inside you are allowed to buy a sheet for $25.00 to cover yourself.

Of course all the money goes to one Mr. Jeremy Jacobs.

If you attempt to have any fun, they make you buy another sheet.

Yeah, it was nuts. We had been subjected to the Fleet Shock Troopers all through our game and then we just sat back to see how the next game went. Pretty hysterical. First, one of the UNH fans who used to wear the blue afro wig started in on his cowbell and you should have seen the Fleet folks run toward him to roust him out of his seat, take him to the concourse, and confiscate the bell.

The fish was great too. Somehow they got it in and were able to throw it. The Shock Troopers descended to the general area where it came from but couldn't accurately determine who threw it.

No clue on how to sneak a fish in... I imagine you'll have an easier time with the rubber chicken. Cowbell could also be brought (read: snuck) in via a hat, find someone with a big head.

They must have wrapped it up in plastic with ammonia or something to mask the smell. Rubber chicken is easy but we don't expect to get it back at the Fleet after we throw it (care to see what flies first - chicken or fish?) so we're bringing a stunt-double chicken.

DON'T DO THIS:
Wrap the fish in a plastic bag. Place bag in empty trumpet case.

DON'T DO THIS EITHER:
Wrap the fish tightly in plastic bag. Tape bag to back. Wear a bulky coat.


So, let me get this straight. They knew where the fish had been thrown from, but they somehow missed the guy climbing up onto the boards, hoisting the fish up, and tossing it onto the ice? That's pretty good.

Is the chicken every goal? As for fish or chicken first, too hard to call, this one is looking like it's gonna be a barnburner.

Yup. It was pretty funny. People were focused on the ice and doing the usual jump out of their seats, cheer the goal, etc. and the fish flew. The actual throwing action was disguised pretty well by the crowd and I believe it was a smaller than usual fish so that it could get the height and lift to be thrown over the glass from a distance.

The Fleet Shock Troopers gave up after a few minutes of interrogations and electro-shock tazer gun hits trying to find out who did it.

No. Chicken is for the first UML goal, no others, and only at home. Except in special circumstances like HE tourney at away venues.

ScottK is the official Keeper and Thrower of the Chicken. He paints 'em up and to weight it down for maximum flight and distance, he stuffs ketchup or other condiment packets down its throut. He can provide you with more information on the technical specifications and protocol of the chicken if you desire. :)

Didn't you get the memo? Unless you are trying to distract the other team, you have to wear stuff underneath your jersey.;) :)

maybe that why we lost so many games this year, I was distracting the wrong team.
opps
Sorry guys, I owe you a beer!

Right.........I say lift the jerseys (except of course wildfan)....Should we bring beads like they do in Nawlins???

The bonus is there is still a slight hint of Kelly Sickavish on my jersey. ( I cant smell it but I have been told by other it's still there)
Do we have to lift our jersey's for the photo? If we do I want to get paid for this. (because hs season is over, the rink is cutting my hours so I could use the money)

Cool. I'll either see you at the gathering(s), or you can stop by. Legal_hit and I will be sitting in Loge 4, row 1. I don't know the seats, but I'll be wearing my jersey and pony tail, and Legal_hit will be wearing her Carney jersey.

In past yearsa signs were OK as long as you didn't try to hang them up. It was OK to hold them up at various times during the game.

[winger]

ooohh I should paint a big sign on my chest.

okay im just being silly now.
but does anyone know are cameras okay to bring in? I want to play with my new toy.
