I just saw that Canisius and the Harbor Center are offering Fan (family) Ticket Packs for the AHC tournament. Four tickets, four hot dogs, two Harbor Center pucks, and a bucket of popcorn for $40.

Is RIT offering anything like this?

Last year, the team got sick after game 1. It's hard to win when only half your team or so is healthy.

Thanks for refreshing my memory about that, I remember it hit everybody pretty bad. His (teams) record coming into this series is much better as well so they just need to hand out wipes and anti-bacteria and they should be all set.

And for the first time this season (I think), the Tigers got votes in the rankings!

Others receiving votes: St. Lawrence 43, St. Cloud State 36, Northeastern 26, Bemidji State 19, Dartmouth 6, Notre Dame 5, Canisius 3, Rochester Institute of Technology 2.

No the problem was that the first game at Holy Cross last year went in to OT the hotel left food out but it got cold and when it gets cold bacteria forms on it and that's what got them a lot of the team sick.

That's not what happened. You're confusing last year with 1995 when that actually did happen in the ECAC West championship at Mercyhurst. RIT beat Canisius in double OT and undercooked chicken was left out. The game was delayed one day and RIT lost 9-2.

They did have fan/family packs earlier in the season but I'm not sure if that's carrying into the playoffs. (at the bottom of the image in this tweet https://twitter.com/RITMHKY/status/552596588905115648)

Also, once the NCAA determines you have a flight, you can be sent anywhere if they think other teams will not if you are a #1 seed. DU would have had a flight to any regional.

Yes, that's true. I forgot about that part. That one probably p***ed off the Pioneer faithful, but it really did keep it to only one of those teams (DU and UW) having to fly as opposed to both of them (Madison to St. Paul is only ~285 miles).
Of course that whole "a flight is a flight" philosophy is ridiculous. In that example, St. Paul is a 1:45 flight and one time zone change while Albany is a 5:00+ flight including, I would assume, a layover somewhere and a two time zone change in the wrong direction. They can't convince me that there is no difference to the team in those trips.

I think it's more a consideration for fan attendance. The committee is allowed to use attendance considerations as part of placement.

Well, the Tiger Women hang a 4-1 victory over Mercyhurst. Congratulations Ladies......

The folks in Erie probably aren't very happy with us by now.

Brady Norish was a unanimous all-rookie selection for Atlantic Hockey. He was the only RIT player to make the team.

I don't know about you guys but I am proud of our RIT Woman. After a finishing as the bottom feeder, they beat Robert Morris and last night beat Mercyhurst. I don't know if they can hold off Mercyhurst again but I am happy with their season now.

You go girls!

I would love to see Niagara beat Holy Cross but I do not want to see RIT face Air Force. I think we can beat them but I don't want to see it happen.

I stand corrected. Our girls are going to the finals! But where are the finals being hosted and can I stream it through the internet?

I, for one, would love to see RIT beat Air Force in the playoffs.
