Re: Utica College Pioneers 2012-13 Season

It is "not" another bush league team. They are trying to bring in an AHL team. A former owner and a former NHL player from the area are pursuing a team. The money is there. This is fact !

Re: Utica College Pioneers 2012-13 Season

Big games this weekend for the Pioneers. More so because they are not at the AUD for these ones. MUST win both to stay alive conference wise and in the Polls.

(It'll also help when the higher up's are deciding who can go to the big dance in March)

+10.

I actually prefer the conversation of naive five-year-olds to that of the legion of losers who have so little to do as to feel compelled to come here and spew bile from afar, while living in their mothers' basements. What a bitter crew of sad misfits they appear to be. If any of them know a thing about hockey itself- as opposed to working on their weak sniping- I haven't heard Word One from any of them to affirm that notion.

Hey Fish I think you stay up to late at night and need some rest,chill this is not serious stuff , its a fun diversion for most of us...ps personaly I have a finished 2000sq ft basement below my 4000sq ft house and I am trying to get my mom to move in as she and the old man are well old...relax and enjoy the hockey this weekend, and ow yea there are many people who know their hockey..pps how do you think the Pios would do vs the black bears this yr??

What's in the cave ... a bar? Pool table? All the other bar Olympic games??

I would need a 50" down there too though.

Re: Utica College Pioneers 2012-13 Season

...The rousing success of the UC program has again started talk of a professional (more or less) team being brought to Utica. The contract between the Aud and the College give a professional team first choice of nights for games. ...

Available ice time could also become limited. If the arena were to offer first-choice to the pro team in scheduling games, they would most-likely do the same when it comes to ice time for practices.

Available ice time has been one of my biggest concerns with all the discussions about Elmira's First Arena and the Domes. Yes, the First Arena has two sheets, but if EC were to abandon the Domes and play there, available ice time would have to compete with the Jackals (or whoever they may be/become), EC Men's Hockey, EC Women's Hockey, Youth programs, Public Skates, Birthday parties, Concert events, WWE "stuff", Wine on Ice, etc, etc, etc. This, of course, assuming EC "abandons" the Domes, which I do not believe will happen in its entirety as there are other facilities at that location (tennis courts, basketball court, weight room...). So could EC use the Dome for practice and play at the First Arena to minimize the ice time delemma? Sure, at the price of having [what I would call] a "pure home ice", one that is practiced and played upon. Utica does not have this luxury if they must share the Aud with a pro team.

But on the bright side, at least they may have more away games!! (Just had to throw-in a Utica jab in their thread!)

Cheers!!!

Grab a dictionary and look up the word "humor". We get that it's an AHL team possibly moving in, Larry was just having little fun with the situation. Lighten up a bit, sir.
